One of my favorite bloggers, Jessica from Style Obsession, tagged me for the "A Blog with Substance" award yesterday. Her blog definitely deserves the award, so I'm glad someone gave it to her ;) Here are the rules:
Here are the award rules:
1. Thank the person who gave it to me.
Thanks Jessica! You rock!! :D :D
2. Sum up my blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using five words.
Dressing the best for less! (haha...that sounds funny, but it works ;) )
3. Pass it on to 5 other blogs that I feel have real substance.
It is so hard choosing people to pass awards on to! But here we go (two of the people I would have chosen were already picked by Jessica so I don't want to repeat XD):
Flashes of Style - Bonnie has such a great style and I love every single one of her outfits.
page sixxx - Jamie-Lee is another blogger with awesome style! She has an awesome wardrobe!
Twitch Vintage - Robyn has such a great eye, every week she adds tons of gorgeous clothes to her online eBay store. Her personal style is wonderful too!
See You In Sweden - I have only been following her blog for a few weeks but Rebecca has awesome items and always looks very put together and pretty!
Illustrated Moodboard - Another blog I have just started following. This blog is truly unique, every post is a gorgeous illustration of a fashion blogger, or other fashion item. :)

I was a very bad girl today & bought 2 dresses at TJ Maxx. I spent $43 on both of them, I got $2 off the green one because some pearls are falling off. (we fixed it) Going to return the green shorts to make up for buying these.
What do you think?! (sorry for the bad pics, stupid camera...& I need to find a new pose) I think both look better in real life, the pictures don't do them justice, haha.
The Rules:
1. Thank the person that gave this to you :)
2. Copy the award and put it on your blog.
3. List 3 things you love about yourself ♥
4. Post a picture you love (e.g a person you adore etc.)
5. Tag 5 people you wish to pass this award on to :)
1. That I embrace my Potter geekyness ;)
2. I can make people laugh
3. I'm nice to pretty much everyone I meet (unless they are total jerks ;) )

I pass this on to: FashionLee, Red Lips, High Heels and Pearls, The Girl Who Loved to Salsa, Love Maegan and Style Obsession! (tried to pick girls I didn't use for my last pass on, haha)Yesterday, I saw that I was given my first award by A.Co EST 1984! It is the "Blog Love" Award and when you get it you have to make your own award & pass it on to other bloggers!
Here is my award and the winners! It was hard to choose because I love so many blogs and have a poor memory, so don't be sad if you aren't here. I probably forgot some of my favorites...but I'll remember later and then be mad at myself. XD
Anticipation!
