    Dear Carrie,
    Seven reasons why I love your blog:
    1. My Grandmother's name was Carrie.
    2. My daughter's name is Carrie (yes, named for my Grandmother, both for sentiment and because I love the name).
    3. My daughter Carrie is a shoeaholic - and your blog has THE best shoes.
    4. You look divine in that dress -- and in everything.
    5. You are inspirational.
    6. So excited that your article could be in Vogue.
    7. Would love to win that watch.

    Cheers!
