Blog Awards for Mystic Nymph

I just got my third blog award from Nicole of Simple but Fabulous. It's actually my first award from a blogger friend abroad. Thanks a lot for this, dear. This is one of the things that made my week great. One of the rules for this One Lovely Blog Award is to share seven (7) things about myself. So, here goes:

• I'm really smitten with the existence of Freemasons. I love learning about the history of DeMolay. I don't know why I'm just so interested. 

•  I love food more than fashion. I especially love Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Italian and of course Filipino cuisine. 

• Something's wrong w/ me. I have a lot of blog ideas, but I'm feeling lackadaisical on writing about them. I hope I get back my passion soon. 

•  I love this line I got from Community: "I hate it when girls make Halloween Parties as excuse for dressing up like sluts." - Brita Perry 

•  Something I've realized when taking beauty shots of nature. It's best to take pictures of sceneries in landscape orientation, not portrait. 

•  I hate crowded places so much. I hate falling in line. I hate waiting for so long. Those things wear out my patience a great deal. 

• I am a big animal and nature lover. I really thank Prof. Antonio Obsioma for strengthening my support towards the importance of Biodiversity.

By the power vested in me, I humbly present this award to these seventeen (17) ravishing blogs I visit on a regular basis. I hope I somehow painted a smile on your face because of this.

The rules are just simple. Just give the award to the person from whom you have received it and link them. Write 7 things about yourself. Give the award to 15 other blogs. I passed the limit. They deserve it, anyway. Inform them about it.

Here's to blogging everyone! Long live to this lovely blog. Much love!

EDIT (July 14, 2011): I received two blog awards today from a very promising blogger friend from Luzon.

My fourth award.

My fifth award.

Thank you so much Ms. Glenn Encinares (Gencified). You have made my day!

Katrina's Thought Bubbles: On Style

I got this award from Fashion Facile. Thank you so much for this Tessa. This is my second blog award. I got the first one from Chuck and Dee. I can't wait to have more. In connection to this fashion award, I've gathered these questions about style from Magazines earlier today, and I'll be giving my answers now. So here are the million dollar questions:

HOW DO YOU DEFINE YOUR STYLE?

It's casual, with a tinge of formality. Comfort with style is my fashion mantra. I love combining two colors like gold and black, pink and black/gray, red and black, brown and black or pink and brown. I also love accessorizing!

WHAT IS YOUR DAILY UNIFORM?

I usually wear jeans/leggings, chic top, trinkets to match, and a pair of flats. I love wearing chiffon and other sheer tops. One more thing, I can't leave the house without a bag. It's definitely a necessity for me.

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE YOUR PERSONAL TRADEMARK?

I think I'm known for my smart casual attires. I often defy the norm by wearing formal outfit when everyone is just simple, but of course that only happens in ordinary days. I follow rules or dress codes on special occasions.

YOU WOULD NEVER BE CAUGHT WEARING...

A spaghetti/tank/tube top paired with shorty shorts and skirts. I can wear it as a beach wear, but not as a normal daily get up. That outfit reminds me of noontime sexy dancers. No offense about that , but that look is not very flattering. It's just too revealing. Looking like a bombshell is way different from looking like a stripper.

WHICH LABELS ARE HANGING IN YOUR CLOSET?

ASOS, Bayo, Club Monaco, Dorothy Perkins, F&F, H&M, Kamiseta, La Senza, New Look, Massimo Dutti, Plains & Prints, Secret Possessions, Zara, some local fashion brands and ukay-ukay (vintage) stuffs.

ARE YOU A SHOE OR A BAG FIEND?

It's hard to choose between these two irresistible fashion must-haves, but I guess after some deliberation with myself, I'm quite sure that I'm more of a bag than a shoe fiend. I have better number of bags than shoes.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS?

Avon, The Body Shop, Sunkissed for Active Cosmetics, MAC, Johnson's & Johnson's, L'Oreal Paris, Revlon Colorstay Lipcolor, Nivea Lip Gloss. Honestly, I can leave the house without make up on. I don't even have any facial rituals other than face powder and lipcolor. I'm good to go just with those two.

ONE THING THAT YOU WISH YOU NEVER WORE IN PUBLIC?

I wish I didn't wear high heels before. Everytime I wear one, something bad happens. It's quite embarassing! I'm just not used to that kind of foot wear. It looks sexy on others, but totally not on me. I can only wear it on photo shoots, cause I don't have to walk around a lot.

IF THERE WERE ONE LAST FASHION ITEM THAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO YOUR WARDROBE, IT WOULD BE...

...A genuine crocodile skin Birkin bag by Hermes. I know I couldn't afford it at all. I bet, my life is not even enough to pay for it. But, the statement says "want" not "buy". There's nothing wrong about dreaming, right?

WHICH FASHION ICON'S LIFE WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAD FOR A YEAR, GIVEN A CHANCE?

Maybe it would be with Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman internationally; and with Anne Curtis locally. They have superb style and enticing wardrobes. One last choice would be with Kimora Lee Simmons. I wanna try having her clothing empire!
