FBFF - Blogger Superlatives!


This Friday's post is the launch of the first ever FBFF Blog Awards.
Katy, of Modly Chic, asked us to nominate one blogger for each of ten categories.
These will be narrowed down to the top five for each category and opened up to the FBFF blogging community for voting!

As always, for more information on Fashion Beauty Friend Friday, please check Katy's blog, Modly Chic!

And now, for the nominations!!!
All photos are property of the blogs which have been linked for each nomination.

1. Creative Juices - most creative 




Not only does Keira co-own her family's flower shop (hello, creativity!), she has some really amazing outfit combinations, does the most creative and quirky giveaway winner videos, and Keira is seriously kicking some a$$ on Project Re-Style!
YOU GO, GIRL!



2. The Real Deal - authenticity 


Melissa is as real as it gets. She shares her ups and downs, and she's a loving, caring, sweet friend, daughter, and mother. She gives us all Melissa all the time. Her outfits get more genuinely "Mel" as the days pass and she reaches out to her readers so well!

3. Spark Notes - most helpful 



Kimberly is inspiring in so many ways. She does monthly outfit inspiration calendars, tells us where EVERYTHING in her wardrobe is from, answers reader questions on a regular basis (and seriously does research to answer them WELL), and has informational tidbits in each of her posts.



4. Newbie - best blogger less than a year old 



I know I'm not the only one who thinks this talented beauty has taken the blog world by storm, since her entrance just a few months ago! Kimmie is the amazing designer that made my blog look amazing, is a great friend and confidant, has impeccable style (even though she doesn't think so), works full time, and has a husband and little man to go home to! She does it all and she's juggling life well enough to have an amazing blog, to boot!



5. Can You Hear Me Now - most connected 



Is there a blogger out there that has not received a comment from Collette? Probably not many. I have no idea how this Super Woman does it, but Collette makes time for EVERYONE. She's always the first to compliment you, the first to tweet you, and the first to run to your side when help is needed. Collette is a friend, always, INDEED.



6. If I had a Hammer - best DIY 
Rochelle - Rochelle Approved


Like Keira, Rochelle is also rocking Project Re-Style. She's made several a skirt out of dresses or shirts (out of shirts? YES!), crafted a standing lamp all on her own, can sew ANYTHING on the face of the planet (eh hem, if you hop to her blog and find a picture of her beloved orange chair, SHE REUPHOLSTERED IT!), and she is also a painter and photographer. Yes, she does it all, my friends!

7. Tribe Leader - blogger who leads others and brings bloggers
together 
Katy - Modly Chic


Katy is the reason we're all here! She's brought so many bloggers together with FBFF in such a short period of time! Katy is enthusiastic, does blogger profiles to showcase awesome writers and fashionistas (and to introduce them to all of us!). She is dedicated to the blogging community, and I think that's what this award really means!

8. Practically Perfect - most fashionable 
Ramsey - Love, Ramsey



The sweet, fresh, chic Jackie O. of 2011? You were looking?
Oh, here she is.



9. Paint by Numbers - best beauty blogger 


Tiffany is much more popular in the YouTube world than the blogging world, but she also has a blog that I keep up with. I learned a lot about eye makeup and concealer from her, and although she does feature some outrageous makeup ideas, I applaud her for doing so many "daytime" looks that I wouldn't be afraid to try.

10. Renaissance Woman - best all around blogger, fashion, beauty,
lifestyle 
Maegan - ... love maegan



I don't care if Maegan has one hundred bajillion readers. She is the very first blogger that I started to follow and is one of the reasons I began blogging in the first place. Her style is incredible, her DIYs are through the roof, she's hilarious, beautiful, and so talented. I swear, if you start reading Maegan's blog for a week, you'll be hooked for life. And so popular she can't return emails? Forget about it. Not one email I've sent her has been left unanswered. Love.This.Woman.

GIANT, EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT, Blogging, & Hair

WE INTERRUPT TODAY'S REGULARLY SCHEDULED POST FOR AN EXTREMELY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT:
Two in Technicolor
is making its first debut at We Love Colors!
Check out our first featured blogger, Kimmie, of Blue Paper Lanterns! 
A BIG thank you goes out to Collette, of Statements in Fashion, and We Love Colors for making this feature happen! I'm so excited to be working with both of you!

And now, the regularly scheduled programming shall commence.
Friends, I didn't even notice that yesterday was my 400th post! Whoa! These little fingers have been hitting the keyboard, hard! I was going to do a giveaway at 400 posts, but seeing as I'm only 12 GFC readers from 300, I think I'll wait 'til that point and celebrate both! How does that sound to you?

OMG- I almost forgot to tell you!!! My BFF of 13 years (the time frame is important because no one else would understand how insanely amazing this is, except someone who knew me "back when") asked me to be her date to the BSB & NKOTB concert in June! Holy mother of pearl and OH MY PICKLE!!!!
I cannot wait to scream like a 12-year-old.
