Merry Christmas! Here’s a little photo I took in a local Christmas Tree Shop store of a mini Christmas Sweater ornament. I couldn’t resist.

Enjoy your holidays and have a Happy New Year!

Over the past year, one of my more successful articles with you was one I was unsure about posting. I thought it may offend, but turned out to really ring true with my readers, proving you are genuine and down to Earth.

The article was titled Why I will Never Wear All Designer, and was somewhat about how some bloggers overly show off their designer goods, and I wanted to state that because of being turned off by it I would never have an all-designer clothing wardrobe. You all agreed. We had a fun discussion (and feel free to visit and pick that back up).

So lately I’ve been realizing … the few fashion bloggers who are wealthy and either tell or show the goods all the time, well, they get successful. Nothing but designer shoes like Prada and Manolos photos and a big chick lit novel to go with ‘em? Complete Louis Vuitton collection, many other big designer purchases with frequent devil-may-care-oh-its-nothing-splurges and lots of pictures to go with ‘em … Or never letting us forget you own six Hermès Birkin bags … Why there we have the most popular handbag blogs on the web!!

Here I am, starting from scratch, just starting out, going through school. Most of my income actually comes from blogging! I’m just a small, “normal” girl in a Entry continued, read more »

It’s the time of year for blog awards, this year, the Glam Network has started its own. I didn’t know about it until the nominations were over though. Hmm, no noms for us at Lipped. We have a few in the network, but not 1 nom. Way to make the members feel special, I can’t even catch a break with only 240 blogs in the running! And I dare say I want this network to be my career. I work soooooo hard and no one loves me! (Well, what can I do to make you love me?)

I don’t care. SEND.

Whoaaaa, your friend Ella just had a ginormous Manic Mood Swing Brain Burp. You forgive her. Although my problems with the web-powers-that-be are common with most webmasters, this is not one of those rant blogs. It’s a place for business.

Anyway, I was even wrong, because nominations aren’t over. (Aand the badge I didn’t get was just a “nominate me” one..) Yup, big brain burp.

So to start this post afresh!!!

Glam Network is holding a little awards just for their member blogs…

I’d personally choose “Best Voice” for Kiss Me, Stace and “Best Tagline” for Pursed Lips (if you love bags) or perhaps for Stace as well (scroll up), but I can’t expect to win now can I? There are only 240 blogs in the network, so you can feel free to browse them all to pick your winners.

The nomination round lasts until January when voting begins on the 2nd!

French Vogue put up a piece on fashion blogs (ou “Blogs de Mode“) featuring and mentioning several blogs, none of which the ones we do here.

French Vogue: Vous n’acquérez pas aucun amour de moi!

Several other outlets have done pieces on other blogs recently, but not us! Quoi? C’est ridicule!

Vogue Paris, s’il vous plait explorez notre blogs comme Pursed Lips (Lèvres Pincées) at celui-ci. Merci.

Love your skirt, leggings and boots, but fear it might be getting a bit chilly for them? You might get some more life out of leggings that are actually thermal underwear for the winter.

Jockey makes some great ones, and they really do work as leggings. They come in full leg length, which is great for these upcoming months in your snow boots. The different styles each come in their own variety of colors, and plenty are still available!

There’s free return shipping and if you order by December 21st with Next Day, you’ll get ‘em for Christmas!

I’ve always thought of Yves Saint Laurent as being one of the classy designers. Elegant clothes, ladylike handbags … But now the company has a perfume ad with a man’s pee-pee right there in it!

Naturally for my blog, I’ve covered up his area with a shoe graphic. So now, endowment aside of course, what do you think of this?

I think I’m speechless. Darn shame.
