BLOGGER RECOGNITION AWARD

New year, new nomination! Many thanks to the bomb ass individual, Kelly from Kellmenow for making my entire month, by nominating me for the BLOGGER RECOGNITION AWARD.
What to do?

1. Select 5 other blogs you want to give the Blogger Recognition Award to. 
2. Write a post to show off your award. Write a brief story on how your blog got started, and provide some advice to new bloggers!
3. Comment on each blog and let them know you’ve nominated them. Provide a link to the award post you created.

Do it!
Before you guys jump over to the brief story about how I've started this blog let me give you some advices to you, new bloggers out there. Between ourselves, it's not easy! Blogging is not only blogging! It's about building relationships, connecting and respect. 
R.E.S.P.E.C.T., ladies and gentlemen! That's what keeps the blogosphere running.

Another advice comes from Anna Wintour since I think it's a great one to follow: 'Just be true to yourself, and listen as much as one is able to, to other people whose opinions you respect and look up to but in the end it has to come FROM YOU. You can't really worry too much by looking to the left and to the right about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field niche are doing. It has to be a true vision.' 

I'm nominating some of my lovely Instagram followers: Amanda @Amanda Says, Chichi @The Style Tune, Ivana @Naomella, Nataliya @Style Tomes, Meron @Fashion Style Mogul



Happy weekend!

  45. Congrats dear!

    I agree - blogging is so much about respecting others as well and blogging itself can take up so much time! It's a misconception that it's "just" taking some photos of yourself hehe!

    Happy Monday dear - and enjoy your week!

    congrats on the award! wise words...we must be true to ourselves when it comes to blogging, otherwise our blog will never be personal...and if it is not personal, why are we doing it in the first place?
