I finally did it! I have been reading about this group for a while now, seeing the posts on many of the blogs that I follow, but I finally joined Fashion Beauty Friend Friday.
If you are not aware of this group, there is a fantastic introduction as well as “How To” on Grit & Glamour that explains everything you need to know (see the post here). This group was created so that bloggers could share their thoughts on a topic given by Katy of ModlyChic. As a result, we have instant interesting content and we get to know other fellow bloggers in the process.
Well, it looks like I arrived just in time because this week’s FBFF post launches the “Blog Awards” (hence the pictured tiara). Participants will nominate one blogger for each of the categories below and explain why they were nominated. All the responses will be collected and a list of the top five bloggers will be named in each category. Those finalists will then be opened up to a public vote. I am unsure of the timeline as this is being posted, but I will definitely make sure to post updates as I find out. Being a newbie, I apologize if I put the same blog in more than one category. Happy Friday!
- Creative Juices – The Citizen Rosebud: Her outfits are always fantastically creative.
- The Real Deal – The Citizen Rosebud: In addition to the great outfits, she has great content.
- Spark Notes – Grit & Glamour: My guide-book to smart & responsible blogging.
- Newbie – Beautifully Invisible: It looks like we started blogging right around the same time.
- Can You Hear Me Now – Grit & Glamour: (see my previous reason)
- If I had a Hammer – Better in Sepia: Love her recipes and her Etsy store.
- Tribe Leader – ModlyChic: FBFF!
- Practically Perfect – Style Underdog: She is my style icon for the gal over 40.
- Paint by Numbers – Those Graces: Lots of great make up tips.
- Renaissance Woman – Statements in Fashion: Collette’s got it all!
- (Update) Honorable Mention – Full Time Fabulous/Vogue Gone Rogue: I can’t believe that I forgot to mention Kristy and all of her community building during the time she was in the contest with Sunglass Hut. A big shout out to Kristy…she could fit into every category here!
- (Update) All Time Favorite Blog – The Glamourai: I know this category isn’t a part of the “FBFF Blog Awards”, but just wanted to mention that I adore Kelly Framel’s style, DYI and jewelry line. Just fantastic.
Loving all the blogger love this week!!! Amazing choices!! 🙂
Thanks! I know…this is a fun week!
I LOVE your list and not just because you’ve put me on it- twice! Smooches for that! I love the list because the bloggers you’ve picked are some of my faves. B of Beautifully Invisible would get my vote for best newbie, for sure, and G&G, well, you’ve pegged it. I am glad you mentioned Courtney of Those Grace, and Collette. A great group of good people and daily reads.
