LIEBSTER AWARD!

I think of all the beautiful times I have been lucky enough to meet them… which makes me think of travelling… which makes me get itchy feet… thanks Rosemary!

I am a HUGE animal lover, I find the company of an animal to be so calming. I am fascinated by Monkeys but for the amount of effect a certain species has had on my life I would have to say dogs.

My boyfriend tried to convince me for ages based on my love for fashion & the fact that I followed (and drooled over) other bloggers for a long time. I didn’t feel up to it but he caught me at an impressionable (read: drunk) moment in Thailand & made me pinkie promise I would start one… considering I take pinkie promises very seriously, I got going on it pretty soon after that.

Well, I live in Ireland so, for practicality it would have to be jeans but I do have an impressive bikini collection for someone who lives in a country where the weather is arguably never suitable for them.

I am instantly more horrified by the though of no cake as I have a massive sweet tooth but I do like to polish a look with make-up… Il go with no cake so I can have the make up & just eat crisps as my guilty pleasure instead.

I have very little interest in the celebrity world but any tall skinny tattooed celeb is bound to grab my attention 😉

Bring my friends out for dinner & drinks then spend the remainder on clothes (obv).

My parents; they were very ambitious from a young age & gained success through their own hard work… they have shown me the importance of a good work ethic. Also, I aspire to how they have dealt with what life has thrown at them.

Well, I had no idea what I really wanted from blogging in general & have been surprised by how quickly I gained followers and friends in the ‘blogsphere’ so its hard to answer that. Ideally, I guess I would like if blogging had allowed me more access into the fashion world in a more personal/professional sense such as attending events or doing collaborations.

Passionate, organised, happy.

I love listening to people speaking English with an Indian accent, I could listen to that all day.. I know thats not a language but its the first thing I thought of when I read the question! If I could go anywhere right now it would be Japan, its next on my long list of countries to travel, I imagine it to be an place country to visit.

My eleven questions:

1. What made you start your blog?

2. What are your top three beauty products?

3. If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?

4. What is your favourite place you have ever visited?

5. What are the most worn items in your wardrobe?

6. Any fashion disasters you want to share with us?

7. Any items in your wardrobe that you love but nobody else understands?

8. What item are you currently lusting after? Link a photo.

9. What is your favourite book ?

10. Something you have learnt recently?

11. A pet peeve?

1. I have a degree in psychiatric nursing & have worked in that area for 4 years… far from the glamorous world of a fashion blogger but I love it.

2. I am very passionate about travelling, I travelled each summer that I was in college and, after I qualified, I saved for a year then spent 2 years travelling 14 countries.

3. I love to attend random events & can be found at any sort of opening/exhibition around Dublin on any given night. I think this stems from continuously striving to broaden my mind, you never know what you will like until you try it. Based on that, my favourite saying is ‘happiness is where you find it but rarely where you seek it’.

4. I have never voted, despite being eligible to do so for nearly 10 years.

5. I always pick up pennies if I see them. I am a very strong believer in ‘lucky pennies’ & will stop no matter what to get it. If I am with someone I will then give them the penny to pass on the good luck. I am known to be a lucky person amongst my friends & I believe lucky pennies have a huge part to play in that.

6. I spent a semester in a boarding school in France when I was 15.. I didn’t know anybody or how to get around the city, I was so lonely that my dad wrote to me every single day.

7. I am a list freak, I make lists for everything. I have lists on my phone & a paper diary that I use religiously. List writing soothes me.

8. I purposefully set my morning alarm for ‘odd times’ like 7.14 or 8.22. Also, if the first time I see in the morning is 13 minutes past an hour I feel like its going to be a bad day… to counteract this, I will wait until its 14 minutes past the hour before I get out of bed.

9.  I hate wearing shoes, I much prefer to be barefoot on any occasion.

10. I am addicted to lip balm & go absolutely nowhere without it. I keep spares in places I frequent in case I forgot one of my millions from home.

11. I started getting blonde highlights from the age of 14 & have only gone back to my natural colour since around the time I started this blog.
