Video Blogging!

Loved the video, Carly! Just a couple of tips (because I would love to see more!). Try moving your preview window up to the top of the screen, as close to the camera as possible, so it looks more like you are looking at the viewer. At the end of the videos, you can say your goodbyes and then pause for a second or two so that you can edit out the last second where you click to stop recording. It's so nice to see more of your personality come out on video!

Don't be down on yourself Carly. You are a beautiful girl and you are very talented. I expect you to have your own label one day. Richard from WASP 101.

it was really weird (in the greatest way possible) to hear your voice after reading your "voice" for the past 3+ years! lovedddd the vlog and i hope you keep them up! great job!!

I love the vlog. It shows a different side of you. Keep it up! I can't to see more. Looks like oober fun!

I LOVE the idea of you doing videos. I agree with Junior Mint League that I kind of assigned a voice to you through your blog posts and it's nice to see a face and personality behind them. Just an idea since I also like to follow all the videos and beauty bloggers on YouTube: Since you don't seem to me to be the type to buy big hauls of things all at once, I think a good idea instead is to do a video once a month or maybe every couple of weeks on anything new that has happened, if you want to elaborate on any new blogs/companies you love, any tips on networking or things like that if you happen to go to an event, if you want to go into more depth about a topic that has been on your mind or something that didn't make it into a post, etc. I feel as though it is more a part of what you are doing anyway on the website but it is just easier and quicker to explain. I also like the clothes post idea that you mentioned in the video and I hope to see more of you! =))

I love it!!! It is great to see your personality come out on video! I hope you make lots more in the future. 🙂

I would never have the guts to do a video blog, but really enjoyed yours! It really makes everything you've put into your site more personal- I can't wait to see more!

It's nothing personal, but 'No' to the video blog. I did not watch your video post, so it's truely nothing against you or your post. I just tend to be super-critical of video blogs because it tends to ruin what I've built up in my head, much like watching the movie after reading the book. Sometimes they do a good job, most of the time they don't and you end up disappointed. Plus I can not watch people embarrass themselves in such a public forum. It's the main reason I don't watch reality television shows like The Bachelor/ette.

You are absolutely adorable and I love the idea of you video posting! I had this idea in my head of what you sounded like and it completely changed after watching the video. I think you'll find video posting to be much more easy going and not as scripted as actually writing out what you want to talk about every day. I definitely want to see more videos and I'm excited to see the rest of your apartment seeing as I will be looking for one/moving out of my parents house in the next year/year and a half! Great job!

Carly you are so darned cute! "like" cute! (just teasing)….you are a breath of fresh air….you keep this 40 someodd gal up on the cutest trends….thanks!

FYI the UP bracelet link links to Design Darling. It sounds really cool. I think video blogs are a great idea!

LOVED the video post! It was so great being able to hear your voice! It's so personal and so neat to see your compassion for blogging and your readers through this video. Keep it up! 🙂

You're adorable! Keep 'em coming! 🙂

So happy to hear the "voice" behind the voice! Keep up the great work!

Love this new medium and loved my little shoutout! Can't wait to see more 🙂 xoxo

i definitely enjoyed the video blog!! i hope you keep making them!!

Love it!! You are right, it is cool to see the "voice behind the voice". More videos please 🙂

On another note, that UP bracelet is super cool!!

I love this!!! It really helped connecting with me and your followers!!!

This is a great move on your part Carly! Video blogging gives your viewer a whole new side of you we didn't know and personally, I quite enjoyed your post and believe you should definitely do more! As a person who actually follows a lot of Youtube vloggers, I was hoping when you would go in that direction! And you finally did! So stay true to who you are!

Enjoy + Keep Vlogging + Stay Preppy!,

I love this format! Normally I read your blog before I get ready in the mornings, but this way I can multitask. Love your outfit by the way.

I really liked your video blog! You did a great job, I hate the sound of my voice and how I look as well. It is all about the camera angle and the lighting.

Love the videos! I love the candid feel that writing doesn't give. That bracelet is the most fantastic thing I have ever seen. I hope they get an Android app for it, because I am SOLD!

I like the vlog; I also like your writing – so I look forward to more of both. And, as Nantucket Daffodil said, thanks for keeping us former college preps (now a college prof) up to date on contemporary prep! I know we're not your target demographic, but we love your blog anyway 🙂 (Speaking for others of my college friends who just lurk.) ~ Hilary

I love this! I think it is such a great way to interact more and there is so many new things I feel you could do with a video instead of just writing.

It was weird and great hearing your voice! haha. I would love to see some more video posts and I give you credit for going through with it, the camera scares me so props to you!

I also love that bracelet that tells you all about your health, that is impressive. I definitely need it !

Great job with the video, Carly 🙂

love the vlogs!! :] :]

You are adorable! and I NEED that Up bracelet. Thanks for introducing it into my life as my newest obsession!

love the video!!!!!! keep them coming

I love the idea of the vlogging! I really want to see what the rest of your apartment looks like and how you organize the rest of your rooms! By the way your voice sounds just like Blake Lively in this video…so Serena van der Woodsen!

Love the vlog! We get to see your personality 🙂

Loved it!

Carly! Oh my gosh! You and your voice are as cute and perfect as your blogs! Now when I read your post, your voice will be in my head! I think you should keep them coming! Love the written and video blog post. So a variation of both would be nice! Can't wait to see all of your apartment! I would like to see post also about college experiences that you have and advice you would give to those still in college! I look forward to your post everyday! Keep up the good work!

I liked the video!

I would like to see:

Complete apartment room tour (including where you got things and even prices)
Organization tips (I loved your bathroom organization!) but extend it to purse closet and workspaces.
Work outfits
What's in my work bag/on my work desk
Lifestyle tips such as accomplishing goals, not procrastinating, balancing personal life, finances, etc
Health and diet (what you eat to stay so tiny!)

Can't wait to see more of you in the future!

Carly I vote yes! You looked/sounded great on here. Natural born video blogger 🙂

Great idea to start video blogging! I have followed you for quite some time and I also follow a bunch of You Tube Vloggers, so I am happy to see you doing this!

Love the idea of doing a video blog post about what tech apps you use – curious to know!
