My BBFF Jamie from GLAM LATTE has gifted me with a blogger award (thnx JW!). Last time, I listed some facts about myself and this time the rules are no different: I have to list 7 things about myself and then nominate a few other bloggers for the award.
1. I'm chronically late. It's terrible. I'm trying to fix it.
2. My nails are always painted, including toes (even in the winter, just like JW)3. One of my good friends (AT) just got engaged and I'm sooo happy for her/them!
4. For work, I prefer skirts to dress pants.
5. I steam everything and steam everyday. Okay, not my socks. (What? I don't like creases)
6. I've purchased my wedding shoes (!) and have been instructed to, 'break them in' ...but isn't that cheating?!
7. I'm more of a necklace person than an earring person.
Nominations go to:
Caitlin @ Candyfloss & Persie
Sharon @ elisharon
Julianne @ Lace and Leather
Angeline @ Confessions of a Miami Shopaholic
Amy @ Junghwa by Amy Stewart

When Lena from Quality Rivets contacted me to inform me I'd won the (awesome) give-away on her blog, I jumped for joy! I'm so pumped and couldn't believe I won! Well, the package has arrived and the Samantha Vega clutch she sent me is awesome and it will certainly get lots of use. Thanks so much, Lena!
* On Monday I was sick and stuck in bed all day.
Thank you for all your amazing comments and I
will catch up on your blogs asap!
Giant Tiger skirt worn as a top (I've had this for more than a decade!),
I have developed somewhat of an obsession with flowy tops lately. I can't get enough and always want to rock one, whether with a pencil skirt or skinny jeans, it's the perfect mix between business and casual but pulled together and chic (and of course, oh-so-stylish). While rushing to get dressed this morning, I saw this old skirt in my drawer. Something I've owned for more than 10 years and something I haven't worn in probably 5 years. I decided to throw it on and under the blazer it worked perfectly. I'm so pumped to 'add' another flowy top to my closet.

Amy over at Junghwa by Amy Stewart does these awesome posts on Friday, fun facts actually, where she divulges various things about herself. I love reading it and look forward to it each week. I thought it would be fun to steal this idea, so let's go:
Fact #1:
(Side note: Both my parents are bikers so I say it's in my genes ;)
Fact #2:
Fact #1:
I know how ride a motorcycle. I took a course five years ago and finally understood why my dad was so obsessed. Since then, a good friend re-taught me last summer on his bike (a Yamaha R1), which was amazing. We went out several times throughout the summer and I even took it on (deserted & quiet) roads. I have a (huge) itch to buy a bike and hope to do so in the somewhat near future.

Fact #2:
I have a dog named Peanut and she is 10 years old. She lives with my parents but is our family dog. She's part shih tzu, part bichon frisé and is so soft and cuddly (and stubborn). We got Peanut when she was only a mere two months old and could fit in the palm of our hand. Now, she is about 15 pounds but still enjoys being picked up and carried around. Can't imagine my life without her.
Fact #3:
My fiancé and I have been together for six years and engaged for almost two years. This photo was taken at our one year anniversary.
Fact #4:
I only have one friend (PK) that is taller than me, or... we might be the exact same height (5'11). I tower over everyone else ... and it doesn't help that I always wear heels.
Fact #5:
My bff (SL) and I have been friends since we met in grade 4. Through good times and bad, we have never been closer than we are now and I couldn't ask for a better friend. At the end of the summer, she is moving away to another city (4 hours away) to go school. While I'm so proud of her and happy for her to begin a new journey, I cannot stop getting emotional when I think about her moving away. I know this is a great and fantastic thing for her, but I really don't know how I'm going to 'survive' without having her in this city.
Since I had a few ladies tweet & blog about this, I decided to do it the old fashioned way (thanks for the inspiration Elisharon) and write everyone's name on pieces of paper and fold them up. If you tweeted about this give-away you got an extra entry and if you blogged about it, you got an extra two entries.
And the winner is...
Congratulations Julianne

Now, I know how much it sucks for everyone else that didn't win, and I wish I could give each and everyone of you a prize, but don't worry beecause... I'm going to be doing another give-away when I hit 100 followers! So stay tuned and thank you all for entering!
