Katie from Fashion's Maven just gifted me with a special award!  YIPEE!  I've never received this one, and that makes it even more exciting.  Thanks so much, Katie!

I'm going to nominate a few of my favourite girls:

My BBFF Jamie @ GLAM LATTE
Melinda @ Shop T.O. Live
My friend IRL, Ka @ Miss Robinson
Joe jacket (also seen here), H&M oxford, Smart Set cami, Jacob skirt (thrifted), Sirens belt,
Le Chateau pashmina, Bamboo wedges, gifted bracelet, A.Co Designs key necklace & Aldo ring

My favourite flowers are tulips and everyday I look out to our garden and am so tempted to run outside and pluck several from the garden, gather them in a vase, and plump up the house with some indoor spring.  However, I have yet to do it.  The tulips just look so beautfiul in the garden and although there are more than 50 (plenty for pickin', right?), I cannot (yet) bring myself to do it.

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:

Sharon @ elisharon
Julianne @ Lace and Leather
Louise @ Fifth Sparrow

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!
