I'd like to thank....

...the lovely Miss LV for awarding me the stylish blogger award. My first one ever :) If you haven't stopped by her blog then make sure you do here for her views on all things beauty-related (Miss LV has also enlightened me to the utter gorgeous-ness of chinchillas in the form of Dusty - how have I not known how cute they are until now!?)


On to the rules for the award which are...

♥     Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post
♥     Tell us seven things about yourself
♥     Award 7 recently discovered new bloggers
♥     Contact these bloggers and let them know they've received the award

So, the 7 things about myself are:

1 - I love making lists so this should be a doddle
2 -  I'm half Italian on my dad's side
3 -  My favourite food is cheese. Nom
4 -  I recently completed a masters degree in HR management or in other words I wrote what felt like a zillion essays and had no social life for the best part of two years : /
5 -  I was vegetarian for 7 years before going to uni and re-discovering the wonder that is a hangover-busting big mac
6 -  My car's nickname is Kevin - he's a silver-blue Peugeot.
7 - I'm afraid of clowns and perhaps more weirdly, the sea (I hate the fact that you have no idea what you're standing on!)

And my 7 newly discovered blogs are:

1 The Outfits of a Twin Mummy (head to this blog for gorgeous outfit posts from Karen, who also has the most infectious smile I've seen in ages!)

2 Little Miss NC25 (Brilliantly written posts with a personal feel and gorgeous pics...and she's a fellow NC25!)

3 Emily Charlotte (Her latest post on blog 'pressure' is a must-read - check it out now)
 
4 The Little Things We Do (Not strictly a beauty blog but a wicked read all the same - I especially love Lauren's 'Fill in the Blank Friday' feature, may have to get involved soon!

5 That's So Fletch (A great beauty blog from a stateside blogger...and such a cute blog name!)

6 Nana in Wonderland (Gorgeous fashion blog with some amazing photography)

7 The Former Girl at Bar (A fab fashion, beauty and general life blog by Lexi from San Francisco - I love her tagline of 'makeup...shoes...and sometimes booze...' Just about sums it up I think!)

Until next time,

  2. Thank you so much for reading Rachael! This is truly an honor.

    I really wanted to say, "Cheers" but I didn't want you to think I was some lame American girl trying to sound English!
