A big THANK YOU to Wileshaknight for nominating me for the Liebster Award. I love how bloggers are lifting each other up and providing support. I have only been blogging for a few short months, and I have been so touched by the outpouring of support I have received from all over the world.

With the nomination, I have been asked to answer a few fun questions, so here we are:

1. What are your most favorite fashion trends?

I love me some colored suede! It can be dressed up or down, worn day or night, and can be embraced at the office or on a shopping excursion. I am also obsessed with anything fringe. I love how designers like Tory Burch and Burberry have embraced the look, as it can add a pop of fun to the most simple of looks.

2. If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?

I would go to Svalbard, Norway to marvel at the Northern Lights. I’m sure that is probably not on most people’s list, but I have always been captivated by the majesty and mystery the lights exude.

3. What is your favorite animal?

I love koala bears. They are cute but at the same time also not to be messed with.

4. What do you like to do when you’re bored?

When I’m bored, I love going for a work out or watch a little Netflix. You can’t go wrong with that.

5. Favorite fashion designer?

Christian Dior. I love the ladylike elegance mixed with feminine fun.

6. What inspired you to be a fashion designer?

Jewelry design is a passion of mine. I love how it can make a statement, symbolize a culture or belief, and add a little sparkle to any girl’s (or boy’s) smile.

7. Who is the number one role model in your life?

My mom. She always puts her family before herself and for such a small person can withstand so much. I have always loved that she never dressed like a boring mom.

8. If you had a time machine what time would you travel back to?

The 1920s. I love the audacity of the women of the time. I also am obsessed with the fashion. Fringe, flapper, and fun would be my description of the decade.

9. Do you have any other hobbies?

I love volunteering in my community, and I love reading. I could easily finish a long book in a day. I also design jewelry…when I’m not blogging of course.

10. What is your favorite game to play?

I love “Go Fish”. Is that lame? It is one of the first card games I ever learned. I also enjoy finding a fun couple or group and making up their dialogue from a distance. Try it before you judge.;)

11. Do you have a crush and if so who?

I’m currently obsessed with Benedict Cumberbatch….more like his version of Sherlock. Does that count?!?
