Tag Times Two!

This weekend I was lucky enough to be tagged by two beautiful bloggers, Chic and Pink and Fashion Court. Thanks ladies!

I think these posts are fun because you get to learn about your fellow bloggers. We are one big happy (hopefully) family after all.

I'll start out with the Socialite tag from Jules. I have recently started getting to know this amazing blogger. She sends the sweetest, most fun emails and i adore reading them. If you are unfamiliar with Chic and Pink (whose blog name actually has and and symbol, as opposed to the word, but Blogger won't allow), do check it out!

The rules:
1. Click on the above button and paste onto your blog/website
2. Answer the below questions
3. Pass onto 10 bloggers that you Love, go to their blog and let them know they've been tagged

Here is goes... =)

1. Who is your style icon?
Gwen Stefani. I like her look circa the early 90s the best, but no matter what she does, she does it incredibly well.

(I actually have one of her LAMB Rasta bags, similar to this one but in a different shape)

2. What is your favorite socialite lit book?
It’s def not lit, but I must admit (didn’t mean for that to rhyme) that I love The Truth About Diamonds by Nicole Richie.

3. Favorite party theme?
Black and White. Very classy.

4. Go to Halloween costume?
It used to be a schoolgirl.

5. Extravagance you cannot live without?
Eating out. It’s not necessarily extravagant meals, it’s just the frequency and amount overall spent on restaurant food.

6. Living person you admire?

My dad. We are a lot alike. Same personality.

7. Greatest fear?
Heights. I literally get dizzy and nauseous. Stairs with holes between each step—paralyzing for me!!

8. Trait you deplore in yourself?
I argue with my mom too much.

9. Which talent would you most like to have?
Acting? I wouldn’t mind being rich and famous ;)

10. Greatest achievement?
I think it’s pretty cool I double majored in college—print journalism and American Studies.

Next up is the Eight Things tag from Fashion Court. Of course, her blog is a must-read for me, as well as her tweets. This girl is so entertaining--be it a blog post or on Twitter! Please check her out as well.
