Liebster Award

Rules:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you - Thank you so much to the beautiful Lauren Elizabeth from Petite in Pearls!! I am a new follower and I just love her blog! Style and interior deco inspiration, reciepes, and her ADORABLE pup, Penny Lane :)

2. Answer the 11 questions given by the blogger who nominated you.

3. Nominate 11 bloggers that have less than 200 followers and give them 11 questions to answer.

Questions:

1. What is your favorite season and why?

At the risk of sounding cliche...it is fall. The weather this time of year is my favorite...although I do also love when it starts to warm up in spring. Winter gets last place...I hate being cold. I also hate being hot.

2. Flats or heels?

Heels. No question. Also, I think I look silly in flats...probably because my legs are so short ;)

3. What is your favorite kind of ice cream?

There is a small chain here in Columbus called Graeter's and I am torn between their Cinnamon and their Black Raspberry Chip (raspberry with dark chocolate chunks). Very diet friendly ;)

4. If you drink, what is your favorite cocktail?

Vodka and cranberry.

5. What is your favorite place you have traveled?

This one is hard! My mom is from Scotland and we used to visit there all the time as kids. I would move there in a heart beat if I could... so I would probably pick that as my favorite.  But one of the best vacations I have ever had was to the Caribbean (Cozumel, Jamacia, Bahamas, etc).

Our favorite castle to visit in Scotland - Balgonie 

Little sis and I in Edinburgh circa 1995 - note the stylish kicks ;)

6. What is your favorite item of clothing you own?

This one is hard too!! If we are talking sentimental - it would be my bf's big sweatshirt that I cuddle up in at night. If we are talking "worn the most" it would have to be either my American Eagle jean jacket or American Apparel off-the-shoulder tees.

7. What is your favorite holiday?

Well, it used to be Christmas...and don't get me wrong, I still love it - spending time with family, the food, the decorations...but now that I'm a "grown-up" it also costs tons of money and takes so much planning. I have always loved Halloween, so that is up there as one of my favorites.

8. If you could go see any concert  in the world (the artist can be alive or dead) who would it be?

Oh man, I can't just pick one....The Police (I LOVE Sting ;) , Coldplay , and IZ - my favorite song of all time is his rendition of "Over the Rainbow".

9. What is one thing you have to do every day to stay sane?

Honestly, just getting an hour or so to sit down at night and relax with Aaron and Deedee. I need that quiet/snuggle time to just unwind and reboot at the end of the day.

10. Any exciting plans for Halloween? 

We went to the Mansfield Reformatory (a haunted prison) with our friends this past weekend! I posted a bit about it here. I think that's about all we have planned this year...I'd love to go to a great costume party one year though!

Deedee's Costume - a Trex HAHA!

11.  Favorite song at the moment?

John Legend's "Made to Love".
