Tagged

Sorry about the blog neglect over the past week. For whatever reason it just wasn’t jiving with my (or should I say Clover’s) schedule for me to get any posts done. So to get back into the swing of things I’m actually going to do a tag… yes, you read it correctly. I know, I’m a big ol’ flake when it comes to these tags and memes and awards. I guess I just need to face the fact that despite my intentions awhile back to get better about it, I’ll just have to sporadically fit in the ones that I can. Sorry if I skipped over your tag!

So, last week I was tagged by both Tracy of
Vintage Found, a new-to-me blog that I have been enjoying very much of late, and Anja of Clever Nettle, an old favorite, to do the Always & Nevers meme. The task at hand being to list 5 fashion always-es (things you always like or cannot do without) for YOU personally, and conversely list 5 nevers (would not be caught dead in) for you personally. Keep it fashion related, tag 3 bloggers, and post any kind of photo you want. So without further ado:

Always!
1) little white dresses
2) perfectly worn jeans
3) flat boots
4) floral prints
5) overalls (I may be in the minority on this one, but I have always had a great fondness for them and I think they look adorable on grown women. Now in argument of my case, look at
this picture… YOU tell ME which of those ladies is the cutest?! ;)

Never!
1) heels for casual day-to-day wear (I’m a flats girl through and through, but kudos to you girls who can pull off grocery shopping in a wicked pair of heels!)
2) NEON (Too bright, I prefer my colors to be more subdued. I will admit that a pair of neon pink ankle socks may have found there way into my wardrobe in the 80’s but I was just a kid, I didn’t know any better.)
3) probably anything that could be classified as “bling” (I don’t like it when things get too sparkly, not to say that I don’t appreciate a shiny element here and there when it’s incorporated well)
4) visors (pretty much always funny looking)
5) Crocs (need I elaborate?)

My tags:
Milla of
The Girl Who Married a Bear
Caroline of
Bonjour Mon Coeur
Anabela of
Fieldguided

But wait that’s not all. I love all three of these ladies’ blogs too, so I figured I might as well pass on an award to each of them while I’m at it.



This very sweet award was given to me recently by the ever so lovely and kind Anna of Much Love and it was just too cute to not pass on! Again, if I failed to publicly acknowledge an award that you gave me, I’m sorry, they really are always appreciated!

Abscence... Apologies... Awards!


She's offline. How do you know? She's not on the web.
(image source, that was the actual title :)

Hello friends, I’m returning from a little unplanned vacation from the interweb as my poor computer was attacked by a nasty virus this week. Luckily, my web savvy hubby was able to finally defeat it after many long hours of battle over the past few days… my hero!

As always, thanks for all your wonderful comments! I missed you guys and I’m looking forward to getting caught up with the many posts awaiting me in my blogroll :)

On that note, I was given a couple of blog awards last week that I’d like to pass on to some of the amazing ladies on said blogroll. First though, I should apologize for being notoriously bad at doing tags and passing on awards.

I’m sorry to all of you whose tags I never got to! Starting now, I’m going to try very hard to be better about doing them. In fact, I’m making it my New Year’s blog resolution!


So, without further ado, the 'You Rock' award was bestowed upon me by the always inspiring Ashley of the beautiful blog strawberry kisses and I’d like to pass it on to these lovely bloggers, all of whom ROCK of course:

The Girl Who Married a Bear (Milla)
A Cat of Impossible Colour (Andrea)
Pop Elegantarium (Alexa)
Skylark and Son (Skye)
Violet Folklore (Amber & Sasha)
The Fashion Maven (Meg)
Bonjour Mon Coeur (Caroline)


I was also given the Your Blog is Fabulous award by the amazing and cute-as-a-button Andrea of the lovely blog A Cat of Impossible Colour and I’d like to pass that one on to these lovely bloggers, whose blogs are of course all FABULOUS:

Loveology (Mila)
strawberry kisses (Ashley)
Clever Nettle (Anja)
Bagged-Lunch (Liz)
Strike.Match (Lauren)
MouseVox Vintage (Rachel)
Trish Hunter Finds (Trish)

Actually, to everyone on my blogroll, you guys all rock and your blogs are all fabulous. Thanks for all the continuously inspiring content!
