I am working feverishly on my Golden Globes fashion post! In the meantime, a reader tweeted that she saw my ad for IKEA on TV the other night and now that I’ve found it online I wanted to share it. This is what I filmed in LA a few months ago and was one of the coolest experiences of my life (and scary, as you can probably tell from the nervous tremble in my voice!) Working on The Life Improvement Project has been so fantastic- and check out my new full page ad in this month’s O Magazine too!

Girl, you rocked it! I’m so proud of you. And funny hearing your voice (you sounded great)… its always different than you imagine.
Congrats, perfection!
Watching this made me realize that even though I feel like I know you through your blog, I’ve never even heard you speak. You were great! So eloquent and clear. That was awesome! And now I feel like I know you even better. (Maybe one day we’ll get to meet!)
LOVE YOUR VOICE!!!! That’s it, I think we all agree — you need to be in front of a camera! Congratulations and yay!
Can I admit something so so wrong? I was nervous to watch because I love you online, and I worried you would bug me on film and it’d be all over. (Yes. I’m a huge brat. Similar to how I adore Lea Michele’s voice, and then saw her interviewed, and had turn that off and fix a vodka tonic asap. ROUGH.) Anyway, crisis averted. You’re adorable and convey that same easy confidence without seeming vain–the latter being something very easy to fall into. Thank you. :)
Way to go, Erin! You rocked it!!!! BTW, love your hair!!!
You’re fantastic on camera!!!
Did not hear ANY nervous tremble!!
Awesome, you are a natural– what nervousness??
Love seeing and hearing you in action! Congrats!
Perfect! You did great and I didn’t hear nerves in your voice at all:) Congrats on the book deal….SO AWESOME!
You were so great, good for you!
Erin looked and sounded marvelous! And her hair, it’s like molasses, so thick and shiny. And THANK YOU for endorsing IKEA, so us teensy-budget folks can feel good about shopping the Scandinavian Giant.
So fun! Nice job!
So nice to hear your voice!
” It was AMAZE-BALLS” as you would say……
Love reading your blog~ Keep it coming~
