I’m not one for “re-blogs” or “chain posts”, but Christen over at La Rue Neuve was so sweet and kind enough to share this award with me… I had to re-post.

I am really honored. It’s so sweet to hear all the feedback from family, friends, and strangers I have met by writing this blog. I appreciate all the kind words, constructive criticism, and love.

I gladly accept Christen’s nomination, and in the spirit of this award will share 7 (not so) interesting things about me:

1. I was a Fashion Design / Writing major in college. It’s the best way I could combine my artistic and intellectual minds and I am so glad I found such an amazing school to let me study and create the way I wanted to.

2. My “real” name is Lizzie Jeanne. I am named after my Great-Aunt Lizzie and my Grandmother Jeanne.

3. Before I graduated college I had interviewed Pierre Cardin, had my designs featured in the front windows Saks Fifth Avenue, and served as the Fashion Director of a magazine… and I’ve only just begun.

4. I only like drinks that come with straws. (Fruit garnish and cocktail umbrellas are a plus too!)

5. I went to an all-girl’s school for 7 years… and turned out fine (I think).

6. I am obsessed with reading “personal growth” books like The Secret, Basic Black, and What Would Jackie Do? (other titles are too embarrassing to publish here… email me for recommendations)

7. Oprah, Martha Stewart, and Anna Wintour are my heroes and I hope to be like them / work for them one day.

And here are my nominations:

Idee Geniale, Preppy With A Twist, Love Meagan, Peeptoes, Fashion Bananas,  The Art of Jordan , and Pamela

I had so much fun putting this post together! I hope you can tell I am laughing through this entire post… you can never take yourself too seriously you know!

Thank you Christen, and thank you too all of my favorite blogs for posting all the time!
