Another occasion to talk about meme

I get called many things, but stylish does not come up often. This may be due to my abhorrence of shopping, my love of basics, and the fact that I would rather buy clothes for my boys than for myself - it's so much easier, you see. Everything looks good on you when you're three and six.

However, Michele at Bodacious Boomer has thrown the S-word my way, in the form of the Stylish Blogger Award. I don't always respond to such glory, but she also calls me 'kiddo', so how can I resist?

The theory is that I'm supposed to share seven things about me that you don't know. But I came up with seven not too long ago, so I'm hoping that will suffice. Feel free to refresh your memory.

I also have to come up with 15 recently discovered bloggers. Fifteen! I'm good at lists of 10. Any journalist who's ever worked in women's mags can whip out lists of 10 in their sleep: 10 ways to tell if he's really into you, 10 to-die-for party looks, 10 super foods, 10 ways to ask your boss for a raise, 10 new moves that will drive him wild... But I digress.

How about this? I'll start, and see how we go. Without further ado, here are XX fab new(ish) bloggers on my Reader.























 



















Well, now, look at that. Fifteen. It seems I'm expanding my skills-base all the time. Oh, and my definition of stylish? People with their own thing going on. Go say hello! Tell them to start thinking up their own list of 15. Best they start now...

  3. Oh what a lovely list to be part of. Stylish and me are not usually hanging out together, this could be the start of something new!

  4. Aw shucks, thanks your Pink Fibroness . . . stylish is something particular to the individual. My business motto is 'if you love something, it's always in style' which is a great way to still be wearing & loving yoru favourite cardigan, boots & some choice accessories.
    Thanks again for the mention, yippee!! I follow your sisters' blogs too & love how incredibly different you all are. Nice to read as a mother of 3 daughters (+ a gorgeous boy). Love Posie

  6. Allison, thank you! And I'm certainly with you on the clothes buying nightmare. What a pity I don't have a 3 and 6 year old to blame it on. I do however, have a daughter who works on a women's magazine so I'm sure she can help me with a list or three! Off to check out your list now :)

  12. Hmmmm. I hope that all of the owners of the lovely blogs mentioned do realise that they too are now the winners Stylish Blogger awards and need to go off and think of their own 15, don't you? I've actually handed you some hard work. :-)

  13. Well done your Pink Fibroness (nice one Posie Patch!). It's not that hard to pick 15 stylish new blogs, but choosing ONLY 15 is a dilemma. And "stylish" makes such a nice change from "versatile", don't you think? x

  14. Congrats! My blog is so very unstylish but I'm hoping the blog fairies will just drop by one evening and make it pretty. Off to look at your recommendations. Kirsty (Shamozal)
