Thank you Lana (http://princess-londons-picks.tumblr.com/) for nominating me for the Leibster Award.

So happy and honored to have met you through crazy Twitter and even more thrilled that this is not a challenge and I don't have to throw an ice bucket on my head!

Here are the RULES 

The rules are…..

• You have to link back to the person that nominated you.
• You must answer all 11 questions given to you by the person who nominated you. 
• You must nominate 11 bloggers with under 200 followers (or 200-ish) and give them 11 questions of your choice. (I don’t know how many followers they have but I think their blogs are cool so I nominated them anyway) 
• You must not nominate the person who nominated you.
• You must let your nominees know that they have been nominated and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it

And now, I'm happy to answer

1) Do you have a favorite blog post?

Like a mama bear I adore and cherish all the ones that I publish under The cheat-sheet of Italian style , my latest project and prelude to my first book. 

2) Do you remember your first post? Is it still up ? If not why ? 

Yes! "Un-Valentine Day" and it was all about loving all year round, something around Alice in Wanderland's un-birthday

3) Do you have a favorite designer/designers ?

Miuccia Prada (here's why)

4)If you could be anyone else who would you be?

Diana Vreeland 

5) Do you remember your first big beauty/fashion splurge?

My first Oscar de la Renta LBD

6) If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?

In a safari in South Africa

7)Who would you love to collab with on your blog?

The Coveted - Jennine Jacob, aside from you Lana!

8) If you had your own fashion/beauty line what would you call it?

I was designing a jewelry/accessories line called f.b.c.reations (and it will be up on the website again soon)

9) What does Beauty mean to you?

At the risk of sounding cliche', beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty as make-up and stuff, I am a mascara + lipgloss + rosy cheeks 

10) What does Style mean to you?

11) Are you a full time blogger?

Soon
