awards, a tag, and uggs?...oh my

awards...

via: Le Love

Huge hugs of gratitude to the following bloggers for giving me awards. I'm so sorry it took me forever to acknowledge and post.

Please say hi to these ladies and tell them Nina says "Thank you!":



a tag...


I've been tagged by Connie of meet me by the water to show off my blog workspace. My workspace is more like my workcorner:





My little corner is really nothing to speak of but I love it. It's in a corner of our living room which is always bright thanks to the huge bay window on one side. And although my window doesn't offer the best view (part of our lawn and driveway), it's still nice to work under natural light. But the best part is the fireplace. It's made many rainy, dreary days bearable.

And, yes, that's a red leopard print pillow you spot on the couch. Heh

(P.S. I have another tag I need to do, but I'll do it tomorrow since it's kind of long. Don't worry, Carlotta, I'm not ignoring you! xoxo)


and uggs??







Zara top, random yoga pants, Uggs

FM snuck some shots of me lounging around in what could only be described as home attire. I had no plans on posting these, but thought...why not?

How do you like my Flashdance top? What can I say...I'm a child of the 80's. And my Uggs are actually under house arrest. They never leave the house nor would they be allowed to. But they're practical when you live in a house w/wood and tile floors. Actually, I usually have a variation of this outfit on while I'm blogging. I'm not always dressed up and ready to go. Haha...Disappointed? Hey, that's my reality. ;)

(Oh, btw, these were taken yesterday after my hair appointment. My hair's a bit shorter...no? It sure feels like it. She also colored it lighter than I actually wanted. I know...my hair looks exactly the same. haha)

congratulations!

even in sweats, you look fab...jealous! your hair looks amazing btw..not sure if this was pre/post cut.

MySpecialStash said...

Haha I was gunna say- my hair doesn't exactly look like that when i'm lounging around at home. :)

You look gorgeous- so comfy and at ease! I really think that the beauty of clothes is that you can enjoy both the fun of dressing up, and the undeniable comfort of dressing down. I totally couldn't live without embracing both!

lisa said...

Congrats on the awards!

Hehe your blog corner reminds me of the oft-told anecdote about Jane Austen's writing corner in the parlour. :-)

Carolyn said...

You look great even in your home lounging outfit! The 80's top rocks, esp. with the Uggs ;-) i love uggs!

KB said...

Ah I love your house, a mix of old and new.... and at least you only wear Uggs in the house!

Savvy Mode SG said...

what is stylish black chandelier... was that the find you were talking about from before? I like the mirror by the blog space too!

elsa said...

Haha I was going to say that unfortunately I don't see the difference, but your hair still looks very nice! And ouf! I thought you gave in to the UGG enemy.. but you're right, it's probably the best for house shoes.. ! Love your 80's top too, xx

Planetalf said...

you look so comfy...now if only everyone else can leave the Uggs AND the flip flops at the crib..

Jennifer said...

Great photos! Love your hair!

courtney said...

umm so, im OBSESSED with your hair!! what products did the hair dresser use to make it so voluminous?! please do tell!

Leia said...

I like your new haircut, and I love the 80s-style top - it reminds me of the things my mum used to wear and used to put me in! I want to get one like that now :)

Tiffany said...

adore you even in sweats! i'm the same, I can't go barefoot in our place as it's all concrete so i wear my uggs frequently too or else my feet are always cold!

Barcelonette said...

Carlotta said...

OMG your desk is so tidy!!mine is a mess, I need to clean it up and to throw away old magazines and tons of old post-it..I do wear comfy outfit when I'm home and no makeup, btw the top is great the color is very 80's!!

Dominica said...

Flashdance top ! Great way of expressing your (yet again) fabulous dress-sense...
My teenage daughter just bought one herself, similar but not from Zara...she bought it in a shop called Rings & Thingz, here in Antwerp...together with the shutter-glasses you see me wearing in the sidebar on my blog...
Hers is purple, she's going through this purple fase...maybe I'll get her into some 1980-ies Prince music ??
:-)

Eeli said...

Geez I love these tags. Getting to know bloggers that bit more intimately! Your corner looks so homely! :)

You're right with your hair descripto but it STILL looks fabulous!

Oh and congratulations on all those awards! :)

roxanne said...

if by "exactly the same" you mean "absolutely fantastic," then yes, your hair looks exactly the same. great lounging shots!

la petite fashionista said...

haha don't we all have the impression that other bloggers parade around their house in designer heels and ballgowns? :)

comfy sweats is much more the reality! your living room is so pretty! (& well decorated)

Anika said...

Congratulations hun!
Love how glamourous and gorgeous you look on your day off/slouching. I assure you I look NOTHING like that. Lol.

And I adore your new haircut,even more perfect!

NICOLE said...

As always, you do not disappoint! Lovely place you have. The chandelier is a great touch :) Best, Nic

stilettostetico said...

OOoooh YES "Flashdance-issime" pink Top with nonchalant "one bare shoulder effect" = captivating equation !!!!
ps: Mmmmh Actually your Uggs' "house arrest" sounds as a Real declaration of "Fetish soundness" !!!!

à Bientôt, Antoine

kimvee said...

I love that mirror near your workspace, it's so pretty :)

Lesley said...

Congrats! And I love the red leopard pillow! :-)

Maverick said...

La Couturier said...

You make Uggs chic =]

Bisous,

Mrs. Lovers Knot said...

I really like your hair. Do you have thick hair with volume? Cause my hair is fine and most of the time lays flat on my head. I saw that your shampoo makes a difference but do you do anything else for the volume?

Blicious said...

you look so cute! love the uggs! :)

JGeb said...

Disappointed?? You look freakin' cute even in yoga pants and Ugg (the horror). And your hair is just plain amazing.

Anonymous said...
