Happy Friday! It's Award Time!

Happy Friday everyone! Can't believe another week has flown by but I'm not complaining one bit. Hope you all have a great weekend planned.

To kick the weekend off right I wanted to pass on a little love. Yes, it's that wonderful time again...time to thank all of the wonderful people who have given my little blog and award and my turn to pass them onto some very deserving fabulous people. Blog awards really mean so much to me and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for following and commenting on my blog as much as you do. It fills my days with such joy. Thank you all so so much!!!

First, I wanted to thank the fabulous Connie at Sogni e Sorrisi for giving me the Sunshine Award. Thank you, dear. I'm beyond excited to accept it!


So here are the rules that go along with accepting it:

1. Put the logo on your blog or within your post.
2. Pass the award on to 12 bloggers.
3. Link to the nominees within your post.
4. Let them know they received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received this award.

I wish I could pass this onto all of you fabulous people who brighten my days but rules are rules so I have to choose on 12. Well, here it goes....

Samantha @ Pretty Lovely Things

Rachel @ Little Bits of Lovely

I also wanted to send a big thank you to the lovely Violetta over at VM Creations for this beautiful Cute Blog Award. She made the award herself! Isn't it beautiful?


And a big thank you to Hope Chella for the You're Going Places, Baby award! It means the world to me! Thank you, love :)

Here are the rules that go along with this award:

1. Link back to the blogger who sent you this award
2. Post where you would like to be in 10 years
3. Pass it on to 10 other special bloggers!

So, where would I like to be in 10 years from now? I'm already married to the love of my life so I think what I would like is to live in a place that we actually own, preferably in our beloved hometown of NYC...if I'm dreaming big, I'll say a brownstone in the west village, with a child or two :)

And now here comes the exciting part. I'm passing this award onto the following fabulous ladies:

Helena @ A Diary of Lovely
Mi Vida Bonita
La vie...J'aime
In Sniff's Choos
Dustjacket Attic
Sogni e Sorrisi

Marie-Eve
Anna and the Ring
99+ Forever
The Zhush

Please don't feel left out if you weren't included on either of these lists. I think you're all fabulous and look forward to having the opportunity to pass out many more awards to let you all know how much I enjoy & appreciate you.

Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo

Isn't She Lovely?

Happy Day! I'm really excited today for two reasons, all thanks to one person. #1 the lovely Helena of A Diary of Lovely gave me the Beautiful Blogger Award and #2 she is featuring me today on her blog as part of the My Stuff Series she has going on. I am so honored to be a part of her series and to receive the award. Thank you so much, Helena! You've made my week! :)

If you haven't yet already, you should definitely stop by and check out her blog. It's chock full of inspiration...fashion, decor, art, cooking, movies...and it's just so pretty! She truly is an amazing blogger and she also happens to be so sweet! Be sure to stop by and say hi.

Ok so onto the Beautiful Blogger Award. The rules are:

• Thank the person who nominated you for the award.
• Copy the award & place it on your blog.
• Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
• Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself.
• Nominate 7 bloggers.
• Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.

Ok so 7 interesting things about me (not sure how interesting they are but it's all I've got:))...

1. It was my dream to be a fashion illustrator but I was persuaded to try the business route of fashion instead. My father didn't want me to live the life of a starving artist. To this day l cry whenever I see a beautiful illustration.

2. My other dream was to be a fashion stylist. Unfortunately this was back in the 80s and it seemed as if nobody knew what a fashion stylist was so I had no idea how to get started. I think it would be a different story today thanks to Rachel Zoe....

3. I am allergic to wool. It took many years and countless rashes along the way until i finally, tearfully admitted this to myself.


4. I have flat feet but that doesn't stop me from wearing these babies...


5. I hate the gym. I waste countless dollars every year on a gym membership and I hardly ever go.

6. I've only even BEEN with one person my entire life...

7. If I had to choose another city to live it, it would be Vancouver. My top 7 reasons: #1 - I love Canada, #2 - I love the water, #3 - I love the mountains, #4 - I love hockey and Canadians get that. #5 - I love the cultural diversity of the city #6 - I feel like I could live a healthier life. I envision J & I riding bikes or going on hikes on a regular basis. #7 - I love Canadians.

I wish I could give this to all of you but unfortunately rules are rules and I can only pass this onto 7 of you. It was a tough choice but I'm gonna go with some of my good ol girls from back in the day (blogspeak: i've known them for over 6 months) :)

Chic 'n Cheap Living
The Professional Bridesmaid
Honey My Heart
Anna and the Ring
The Thirty Something Bride
