And the Fabulous Blog Award Goes To....

7:21 AM

...ME! that is, according to the adorable Fhenny from Jakarta (http://littlemissfhenny.blogspot.com ---- sigh, if only more teenage girls here dressed up in liquid pleather leggings like she does!). This probably means I'm on the right track... Fhenny, thank you! Even though awards are occasionally flung here and there, to get one especially from someone equally passionate about their craft makes the effort worth all the sweat (no tears just yet! hope never). Since I've already taken a whack at fashion blogging, you are rest assured that I will pore all my time and dedication into this. Thanks again! By the way, the award aims to foster deeper ties in the blogging industry, as well as to show appreciation to those who continuously inspire.:)

Here are the mechanics of the Fabulous Blog Award:

Put the award in one post as soon as you receive it.
Don’t forget to mention the person who gives you the award.
Answer the award’s question by writing the reason why you love blogging.
Tag and distribute the award to as many people as you like
Don’t forget to notify the award receivers and put their links in your post.

The reason why I love blogging is quite simple. I believe that fashion is universal and no one is exempt from loving it, regardless of where they hail from or what they can or can't afford. As much as I do love international fashion (and i do so much), this blog is also to give an outlet for our local style and fashion mavens to be seen on a global scale, to show them the credit that is due to them. With that said, expect a good dose of universal fashion and fashion photography, plus a smattering of my own outfits (LOL), in the mix. With that said, here are my nominees and personal favorites as well:
