THE LEIBSTER AWARD

Hey!

Just last month I was nominated by the gorgeous Cait from Beyond the Beauty Bag (beyondthebeautybag.blogspot.com) to do the Leibster award. Thanks you so much for that! 

If you didn't know, the Leibster award is a chance for bloggers to help get other small blogs noticed, which I think is such a cute idea!

Rules:
- Acknowledge the person who nominated you.
- Answer the questions given by the person who nominated you.
- Nominate 11 bloggers (if you can) and notify them. 
- Give them 11 questions to answer

My Questions:
1 // Why did you start blogging?
I've always love beauty, fashion and hairstyles, and one random day, over a year a go, I had an idea - I wanted to start a blog.

2// Where do you see yourself in ten years?
I'd love to be married, working at a teen fashion magazine (preferably DOLLY) or at a retail store. I'd also try pursuing a career in science, but I don't really know what options are out there. And obviously I'd love to continue blogging as that is my main passion, but overall I think my main goal is to be happy. :)

3 // High heels or flats?
Depends on the occasion! I love both too much ahah.

4 // What is your favourite thing to do to unwind?
Watching the latest episode of Arrow, reading a book or watching youtube

5 // Read the book or watch the movie?
Both! I'm one of those people who will almost always read the book before the movie, but then definitely go and see the movie afterward! The only time I wouldn't read the book first is if the library doesn't have it available fast enough (I get most of my books from the library as actually buying then is quite expensive as much as I love them).

6 // Which country would you love to visit?
Mykonos, Greece! It looks absolutely beautiful. Ad of course I would love to go back to France and England... I love them so much (and I've been there multiple times).

7// Favourite food?
I can't choose... but I think sushi, hot chips, and chocolate moose - they are AMAZING

8 // What's the one thing you cant live without? 
My phone... how would I contact anyone without it?

9 // If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be? 
Wow - I have no idea! I've always loved white tigers... maybe a baby one of those.

10 // Favorite makeup brand? 
Maybelline... I love it so much! Most of my make-up is from there ahah.


11 // Winter or Summer?
This is probably the hardest question in the whole universe... I love both! Summer is so awesome because dresses and crop tops and BIKINIS... but you get hot and sweaty and the humidity makes my hair frizz and my make-up falls off. Winter is gorgeous, and the clothes are so cute, but somedays I have no energy to o anything as the weather is so depressing. I can't decide... sorry!

The blogs I nominate are:

OUTFIT A DAY // A FASHION PLANNER {review}

Hi, all!

How's the weather on your side of the world? In Perth it's almost too hot to function - ugh! I can't wait until autumn. :) Today I'm going to review one of my favourite things ever. This is my first review, so I hope you enjoy!

For Christmas, my gorgeous little sister, Elsie, gave me a book called Outfit a Day // The Fashion Planner, by Tamara Daniel. It's a fashion journal, where you can record your favourite outfits, or design some of you own. Next to each of the outfits you draw, it has a space for you to include many details about the outfit, like the date, a description and the weather. This feature is one of my favourites out of the whole book - it's so clever!

The Fashion Planner also gives you many great fashion tips, including essential pieces for each season, and how to style classic items to create multiple looks. It even has a checklist at the back so you can write down all the pieces you want to buy, and so that you can check them off as you go - because a girl can never have too many clothes!

One of my favourite things about this planner is that every 10 or so outfits that you plan/draw, there is a small quote about either fashion or style. Here are two that I like and think you might too:

"Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak." - Rachel Zoe
"Fashion is all about happiness. It's fun. It's important." - Donatella Versace

This fashion journal is definitely one of the most useful things I have ever received. I have already drawn over 5 outfits, and my wishlist is expanding rapidly! I don't know whether that's a good thing or not... ahaha. I actually love this book so much that sometimes I carry it around with me in case I have inspiration for an outfit... thanks so much, Elsie! Luv ya :)
