Super sweet blogger Miha of Skinny Buddha passed the cutest blog award onto me and it couldn’t be more perfect for the crazy warm heat wave weather we are having in nyc. The award is called “The Sunshine Award.” Perfect right?

I know some people avoid blogger awards, and basically ignore them when they receive them, but I think these are really cute (although I am definitely guilty of forgetting to post some on my blog that have been passed to me, sorry! I wasn’t ignoring you!). But really, why not pass some love onto other bloggers whose blogs you are obsessed with reading? I may have a blog, but there are plenty of other blogs I read obsessively and have been reading since way before I even started my blog. I like to spread love, it’s the Brooklyn way. I hate to quote Biggie again and again, in like 5 posts now, but really, Biggie lyrics apply in every day life. I should start a Biggie Cult. Who wants to join?

The rules are:

1) Post the logo within your blog or post

2) Pass the award onto 12 fellow bloggers

3) Link the nominees within your post

4) Let the nominees know they have received an award by commenting on their blog  (***I think I’ve let everyone know..If you don’t want to post this on your blog that’s cool.. just sending over the love xo)

5) Share the love and link to the person whom you received this award from

So the 12 bloggers:

• Bleach Black
• Eternal Masquerade
• Foxy Gamine
• Kingdom of Style
• Notes, Thoughts & Love Letters
• Rocker Repro
• SawceBox
• Tweet
• I Play Faves
• Walk The Sand
• Sea Of Ghosts
• I save number 12 for Miha, because she passed it onto me : )
  

Project Beyond the Runway

Edited by Fashion Pulse Daily

Reading through the links this week, I realized that fashion week or no fashion week, fashion will most certainly go on! A winter snowstorm couldn’t even slow down New York Fashion Week, and the links below are testament to the wonderful style that exists beyond the runway, such as Ode to Awe‘s jewelry discovery, how to look chic while lounging by Cafe Fashionista, and tips for vintage shoe shopping by Wicked Whimsy. Don’t get me wrong, I love being ‘in the know’ on runway looks and trends, but how you interpret them and work them into your personal style is so much more important than remembering which designers showed one-shoulder looks this season!

As expected, there was a fabulous round-up of links in the forum as well, all worthy of your eyeballs!
