Liebster Nomination.

I have been a very lucky girl this week.  I received not just one, but two Liebster nominations and I cant thank Kristie at http://www.kristieblogsbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/ and Becky at http://bexandthecity2013.blogspot.co.uk/ enough.  You must definitely check out their blogs.

The Liebster nomination is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers.  It is a great way to meet other bloggers, find great new blogs and a way to recognise the hard work that goes into creating and maintaining a blog.

The rules:

• Nominees must answer 11 questions asked by the blogger that nominated them.

• You need to choose 11 blogs with under 200 followers to pass the award onto and let them know you've nominated them by commenting on their blog.

• Come up with 11 new questions for them to answer. 

Check out my Q&A below

1.Who is your celebrity style crush?

Millie Mackintosh from Made in Chelsea.  I love the way that she mixes designer and high street, and classic Chelsea with a vintage vibe.  Check out my celeb style post.

2. What season style do you prefer (i.e. winter or summer styles)

You all might gasp in horror here but I have to say winter.  I love layering clothes and you can’t beat an investment coat.  I bought my recent winter coat from Topshop three years ago and it was £190, proving that sometimes it does pay to spend a little extra (only sometimes!)  I love the bell sleeves and if you twirl round it puffs out, so girly.

3. If you could only wear 1 colour for the rest of your life what would it be?

White.  Simple, sophisticated and elegant.  I love my cigarette trousers from Next and nothing says summer like a white summer dress.

4. What style or trend do you wish you could wear but doesn't work for you?

Easy one; Sports luxe.  I think this look oozes effortless style but unfortunately if I wear loose fitting tops without a belt, I resemble a pregnant woman at 10 weeks who still hasn’t told everyone and is trying to hide the bump.

5. 1 beauty product you can not live without?

This may sound obvious but concealer.  I have an extremely busy life; a full time job with an hour long commute each way, a husband, family and friends and now my blog so unfortunately I sometimes resemble a panda, thank God for Benefit's Erase Paste.

6. (stealing a question from above) Why did you start your blog?

I’ve always loved fashion and writing; when I was younger I wanted to be the editor of Vogue, a 'realistic' goal but as I’ve got older I decided that I wanted to write purely for my own enjoyment, so when I looked back on my life I had no regrets, and that it was something that I was proud of.

7. What do you want to achieve with your blog/career in the next 10 years?

I think I answered this question in answer number 6; editor of Vogue...ONLY KIDDING! I would love to be a fashion writer or a features writer. Although I will nearly be 40 by then (scary).

8. What's been your biggest fashion disaster?

A red dress with a lace mesh over the top.  I wore this when I was 15, going underage clubbing (hang my head in shame).  It was hideous; it resembled a curtain, sadly for you, my lovely readers, there is no photographic evidence, phew!

9. Real, spray or sun bed tanning?

My answer to this question depends on how lazy I am feeling.  If I can be bothered and if I am going out with my friends that tan I use Rimmel Instant tan.  I hate sun beds, I feel like I’m standing in a coffin and I find £25 minimum a bit extortionate for a spray tan. £5.99 all the way.

10. Best festival look this season?

Hunter wellies are to the festival season what a Chanel jacket is to a woman’s wardrobe; they never go out of style.

11. Random fact about you

I’ve been on stage with Les Dennis.  For those of you who might not know who that is here you go.

So now I've been under the spotlight I get to ask 11 bloggers a different 11 questions.  Here are my nominations.
