When I started "style blogging", almost 3 years ago, tags and awards were super common and practically every week you'd see someone posting it. It became so common that people stopped doing it, or maybe a bit fed up too. But when someone that writes a blog that you love tags you/gives you an award it always feel good isn't it? And that's what happened, I really felt happy when Cat, of
Take Courage, did it to me! The Versatile Blogger Award for being a blog which she admires, respects and likes. I am sure I forgot about awards that people gave me (I'm sorry about that) but Cat's just came at a time when I started thinking this blog is too much about me. In the past I would not only post about outfits, inspiration or wish lists, but sometimes about my days and things I did, and that's the way I want to take it to from now on too. A little bit more life seems right doesn't it? Of course my life is not that interesting all the time, but in the next few weeks it'll be a bit different (my boyfriend is coming to visit and we're going on a small trip to Paris!)
Anway, thank you again Cat for the Versatile Blogger Award,
for the shout out (your plaid dress is amazing!) and for considering me someone to be inspired by! I really appreciate it. Take a look at her lovely blog,
Take Courage, people!
Now, when you get the Versatile Blogger Award, you are supposed to share with your readers some facts about you which they might not already know. So here it goes...
1 - When I was an early teen I started thinking about moving to the UK when becoming older. That idea hid from my mind during my university times, and only came back when I finished my degree. Now that I am actually here, I still have these "wow" moments when I think "I am actually doing this!".
2 - Autumn comes and, if you did not notice it before, I obsess over knitwear, this year is all about jumpers. I have acquired quite a few and still fall in love with more! Although the running out of space for them in the closet made me slow down. (See one of the recent knitwear acquisitions in the outfit above.)
3 - I work in a Neonatal unit. Seeing babies every shift is really nice and they're a lot easier to deal with than adults, I assure you. But this has its downs, for once it brings up peoples maternal instinct, but at the same time, when you get those babies who wont settle and just want cuddles every minute it just puts the idea of having your own baby put down for far away in time.
4 - I have been asked several times, from various people, if I am an American or why do I have an American accent. I always tell that I learned English mostly by myself, just reading books and seeing a lot of American series and films, so I guess that's why. I have an idea for a video post, so you can actually hear me, but I have to ask you something first. Soon...
5 - My favourite mean of transportation is the train, I really like it. There's just something peaceful and romantic about the idea of travelling on a train, not that that is the reality sometimes. That said, I can't wait to go to on the Eurostar for the first time when I go to Paris in a few weeks!
I don't usually pass these to people any more because I don't know who to choose from! But I am going to pass this award to Emily, of
Resplendent Tranquility. She was here when I started, and I kept reading her blog ever since. She definitely deserves it because she is a girl that I "admire, respect and like" how the award says.
