Seeing Double!

 

What to wear, what to wear?  One of the most genuine and honest voices I have found through my time blogging is Kelly of Out of Colorado, and she again, has graciously bestowed upon Simply Luxurious not one, but TWO awards.  Upon accepting them, I was asked to share what I might wear if I had the opportunity to attend the “Blogger” Academy Awards.  Too many dresses, designers and styles to choose from, but I decided to stick with classics.  

The beautiful black Chanel gown worn by Penelope Cruz with a simple jeweled sandal by Manolo Blahnik and just a touch of diamond shimmer from Tiffany’s fabulous Jazz earrings. 

And my mode of transportation would be, in order to adhere to the theme, a 1956 Mercedez-Benz.

Thank you Kelly for so kindly including me on your list for the Trendy Blog Award and the Versatile Blogger.

The fabulous ladies I’d like to pass both of these awards on to are:

Pour L’Amour de Fashion

A Lovely Being

Everything Fabulous

Following Rabbits

La Dolce Vita

Couture Carrie

Simply pass the awards on to people you feel are deserving and share how you might arrive at a spectacular event such as the Oscars.  Congratulations!

Thankful for the Crowning

What a treat I discovered when I came home on Friday to find Kelly of Out of Colorado  had surprised me by “crowning me a socialite”.   Kelly, thank you so much. This truly made me smile.  While I'm not sure I fit the actual definition of a socialite, I'll more than gladly share a bit about myself and pass on the honor.

1. Who is your style icon?   Audrey Hepburn, Sarah Jessica Parker
(more I'm sure, but my mind is running a blank!)

 
2.  What is your favorite socialite lit book? The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

3. Favorite party theme?  anything that involves wine, fabulous conversation, and scrumptious food - oh, and a bit of jazz playing in the background

4. Go to Halloween costume?  a flapper (a bit of a 20's theme going on I see)

5. Extravagance you cannot live without? haircut and color every six weeks (more of a necessity), bubble baths, tea, shopping trips to Portland 

6. Living person you admire? my mother

7. Greatest Fear?  not living up to my given potential

8. Trait you deplore in yourself?  self-doubt

9. Which talent would you most like to have? ability to learn a foreign language with ease (French preferably) - is that even a talent?

10. Greatest Achievement?  Finding contentment in my life and realizing my passion (writing).

I would like to pass this crown onto: 

       

Sogni e Sorrisi

Savvy Mode

Just remember to:

1. Copy and paste the label

2. Add your answers to the questions

3. Pass on (be sure to email those bloggers you have chosen and let them know they've been crowned)  

Here's to a fabulous Monday and hoping your day is moving along quite swimmingly! Cheers!
