awards season

Dreams don't come for free, people. Diva and Dior both begin with D. That's a good start.



♥ Ring from Diva ♥ Top from Glassons

Meanwhile, I may never get an Oscar but I do have these! Proudly displayed next to my treasured, over-excited picture at Ice Cream City in Japan. A city. Full of ICE.CREAM.


Background from here

The bubble of energy that is Eelie at Aphex Nation and the gorgeous Petra at City of Petra have brightened my day with the Proximidade award. And Petra has also gifted me with the "I Love Your Blog" award. These two lovely ladies always generate a big smile when I see them pop up in my comments section. They are both timeless and completely remarkable!



The Proximidade award comes with a write-up which sums up what it is about.

"Blogs who receive this award are "exceedingly charming," says it's authors. This award is a fine one because it focuses not on the glory and fanfare of blogging, but in the PROXIMITY to one another through this online-world.
"This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut even more friendships are propagated.

Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this clever-written text into into the body of their award."

These awards just thrill me to little bits. And so I am passing BOTH AWARDS on to some very special ladies who make blogging look like a breeze and charm me with every post they write, not to mention come up with inspiring, stylish outfits practically every day!

♥ Allison at One Glad Morning
♥ Paper Doll at Pretty Little Pictures (although I know Eelie give this award to her too!)
♥ Sam at Daily Fashion Boost
♥ i.d. at Just Fashion.Art.Design
♥ StrikeMatch at Strike.Match
♥ Andrea at A Cat of Impossible Colour
♥ Emily at Resplendent Tranquility
♥ Casey at Sing Before Seven

  3. Ooh I'm seriously enjoying Diva right now, When i was back in Wlgtn there was this one discount store someplace on lambton? Basically all my gift shopping was done there lol. You really did deserve those awards dear.

    As for your question? The garden behind the cemetery beside the LH memorial library. Its beautiful, quiet and i have made many a fond memories there.

    Overlooking Paris would come a close second though :P

  5. Gotta love Diva! I would die if they didn't have one in Singapore, especially since they've picked up their game. You can find some great stuff now.

    I would love to wake up tomorrow, back in Sydney with my hubby in bed and our Boxer dog (bless her soul) at the end of the bed.xx

  9. Sweet Ana,
    Congrats on receiving these awards and thank you for passing them along to me! :)

    If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning I'd choose to be along the shore on Prince Edward Island. I've always wanted to visit PEI after reading Anne of Green Gables as a girl :)

    Hugs,
    Emily
