Liebster Award! 2nd time around!
This morning while I was sipping my daily espresso shot and eating a croissant I was scrolling through my e-mail! I was so happy to see that I was nominated for a second Liebster Award, it pretty much made my morning because I have been a little stressed with getting diaryofmycloset.com ready for August, 1st. To get away from the design and all the little details of my website for an hour or two is just what I need, and besides Liebster awards are so much fun to participate in! I was nominated by KaLeena from Live Chicly, so big thanks to KaLeena for taking notice in my blog, and nominating me! What I love about the Liebster Awards is that it's basically like a chain of kindness by bloggers for bloggers, it's fabulous and I am honored to be nominated twice!
Here are the rules:
1. Each nominee should answer the 11 questions asked by the tagger
2. Nominate five bloggers for this award (with under 200 followers) and link them in your post.
3. Create 11 new questions for your chosen bloggers.
4. Go to their page and tell them about the nomination.
5. Tag backs are not allowed.
Here are the questions I was asked by KaLeena!
1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I'd love to live in Italy, preferably Milan or Florence. As long as I'm surrounded by great people, good shopping and good food, I'll be pretty happy.
2. What was your most embarrassing moment? Oh dear,this happened pretty recently, it's beyond embarrassing, but beyond funny. While I was on the road to Florida, it took me about 3 days to drive there, I have two dogs and I had to make sure that I was spending the night at a dog-friendly hotel, the first night in Houston went great the dogs behaved and I was out on the road by 8 in the morning, the second night was a NIGHTMARE! I went out at about 9 at night, I decided my dogs would be fine for about 5 minutes while I went go get ice for the cooler because they were usually pretty decent dogs, well I was terribly wrong. As I was exiting the door, my dog SPRINTED out of the room, down the hotel hall, through the LOBBY, and then made a run for the hotel EXIT!! She ran through the automated doors all by HERSELF, into the parking lot, and I was chasing her, so many people were laughing. By far the funniest/most embarrassing thing that has happened, everybody was laughing at us!
3. Preferred caffeine fix: coffee, tea, or pop? Usually when I need a little coconut creamer boost in the morning, I make an espresso shot ( like today), but I'm in love with pomegranate tea with a teaspoon of agave for those non-espresso days.
4. What is your secret talent? Horseback riding for sure, a lot of people don't know that I ride.
5. What is your favorite color for a pedicure? My go-to color is Essie's mod-squad, of course I have about 3 backups, I'm always very prepared. Mojito madness is one of my 3 backups, so chic.
6. Who is your current celebrity crush? Liam Hemsworth, he's basically like the taller version of Chace Crawford, height is always a necessity for someone as tall as I am.
7. If you could raid the closet of one blogger, who would it be? Easily The Blonde Salad, she always has the most effortless looks.
8. Where did you go to college? I'm working on that right now, I still haven't decided where I'm going this year.
9. What would your dream job be? I'd love to be a fashion-editor turned talk-show host/stylist. A girl can dream.
10. Do you have any siblings? If so, how many? Are you the oldest, youngest, or in the middle? No, I'm an only child.
11. What would your perfect Saturday look like? Palm City shopping by morning, lunch in West Palm, and catching dinner in Miami at Prime 112. I'm always on the go.
Here are my nominees!
1.) Brenda Bastidias of life. love. & makeup2.) Eleanora Digiesi of Elly in Makeup Land

The Liebster Award!
Hey y'all! I have recently been nominated for a Liebster award, I had no idea what to think because I had no idea what a Liebster award was! But when I saw that I was nominated by Anusha's Avenue, I was so excited because she really has a fabulous blog! Now, if you do not know what the Liebster Award is, it is a award given by bloggers, for new and upcoming bloggers and it's a chain that is going throughout the blogging community. The tagger picks five bloggers with under 200 followers, links them to the post, and creates 11 unique questions for the five nominees to answer!
To sum it up, here are the rules!
1. Each nominee should answer the 11 questions asked by the tagger
2. Nominate five bloggers for this award (with under 200 followers) and link them in your post.
3. Create 11 new questions for your chosen bloggers.
4. Go to their page and tell them about the nomination.
5. Tag backs are not allowed.
Here are the questions Anusha's Avenue asked!
1. For you, when did the love for fashion begin? Fashion began at the very, very beginning, at 2 I started to show interest in picking out outfits but, at 5 was when I really got into it. Fashion was always an obvious passion, but at 5 I asked my parents for a Vogue subscription, I embraced my mom's Jimmy Choo's, at 5 that was when I knew I wanted to be a fashion editor, the love was always there.
2. What made you decide to create a fashion blog? When I made my blog, I knew I loved fashion, and I knew that I could blog about it. My friends begged me to make a blog, they knew how much I loved the industry. To be writing about something I have always loved is just amazing.
3. What is your favorite season & how do you dress for that season? My favorite season is definitely spring!! For spring, I definitely wear a lot of maxi dresses, floppy hats, bold necklaces, lace, clutches, strappy pumps, floral, and colored pants. You'll definitely find me in J. Crew during spring.
4. What items are on your summer wish list in terms of jewelry and accessories? A rose pair of Ray-Ban aviators, Kate Spade NY skinny mini bow studs, Zara cross body (preferably in tan), a bold scarf, and a Rachel Zoe floppy hat. I'll keep it short.
5. Can you describe your blog in a short paragraph? My blog is a reflection of my style, and myself! It's a place where I can just write freely and share trends, and hopefully inspire people to create a blog of their own or to re-vamp their wardrobe!
6.. Who are your favorite fashion bloggers and why do you admire them? I do not have one specific favorite fashion blogger or bloggers. I admire anybody who blogs about fashion that does not just do it for the free clothes, the money or for a shot at fame. You can tell when bloggers don't love what they are doing.
7. If you could live in another country, where would you choose to live? Italy by far, Milan is one of the biggest fashion meccas.
8. How do you see your blog a year from now? I hope to see my blog still running, it will be fun to watch as it continues to grow, and that each and every posts is quality. I don't see any specific numbers, I can't predict that. I just want to continue writing about what I love, and meeting new people.
9. Are you a trend setter or a trend follower? A little bit of both, I get inspiration from magazines and make the look my own. It's not my place to say if I am a trend-setter or not, that's for others to decide.
10. How many times do you re-read the post you typed before hitting 'Publish'? Way too many, I triple check before I publish on the casual post. I definitely check the designer posts the most before I publish, those always have to perfect.
9. Chanel's Hula Hoop Bag from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection, Would you purchase it? As much as I adore Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld, I would not purchase it. I go by the motto "less is more", this bag simply is not functional. Think of what Madmoiselle Chanel would say.
10. If you could order a Louis Vuitton custom case, what item would you order it for? For my YSL pumps or for my Gucci ostrich bag, those are the items I treasure the most.
11. If you could interview Karl Lagerfeld, what three questions would you ask him? To interview Karl Lagerfeld would be beyond anything, I would ask him 1.) "What was Madmoiselle Chanel like?" 2.)"How many pairs of shoes do you have?" (Silly, I know) 3.) "What do you think you individually bring to the House of Chanel?"
(p.s, I have no idea what's up with the numbering.)
My nominees!
1.) Busola Coutts of The Fashion Stir Fry
2.) Eleanora Digiesi of Elly in Makeup Land
3.) Doménica Quintero of d is for dangerous
4.) Jenn of Snappy Lemon
5.) Jaclyn De Bonis of Written in Fashion

Here's a snapshot of what I have spotted so far!

And then, a fashionista was born.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was fashion obsessed, this little girl owned her very own mini Louis Vuitton at the age of two, this little girl craved Vogue instead of coloring books, this little girl was very indeed a fashionista at birth. She was an unstoppable force, and tried on her mothers Jimmy Choo pumps, and taught herself to walk in 2 inch heels at the age of 5. This little girl knew fashion, she knew how dresses were supposed to fit, and how pearls were always the answer. Instead of wanting to be a doctor, or a vet, or even a princess, this little girl dreamed of being a editor. She dreamed of moving to New York, and being surrounded by all things chic. One day, as this little girl grew up, she realized that fashion was there to stay, and that it was indeed her true passion. She thrived on reading books about Chanel, and even watched TLC's What Not To Wear, she was inspired by embellishments, lace, and delicate feminine designs. She closely studied Grace Kelly's fashion evolution, instead of working on schoolwork, this little girl was hooked on fashion and owned more Vogue issues than the average 6 year old, and there was no turning back. As she grew up into her teenage years, she was no longer the fashion obsessed little girl, she was the fashion obsessed young lady, and she continued to share her love of fashion with others. As she matured, she found her way into the world of fashion blogs, and was inspired by the outfits of others and one day dreamed of having a website of her own. Two years later, on June, 8th 2013, the young lady had a fashion blog that she could call her very own. She typed away her thoughts on trends, connected with others, and accomplished finding her very own little black dress. She went out on into the world, and discovered the majesty of online shopping, and was one credit card transaction from owning Tom Ford sunnies and Prada riding boots. It was almost as the little girl grasped fashion at birth, and had the knack to be bold, feminine, and confident; all at once. This little girl/ women, is me, I'm the little girl who craved Vogue, and to be blogging of my life-long passion is just beyond any expectations that I could even dream of. The short time that I have been doing this, I have enjoyed it so much, I have met so many lovely people, and reading messages and receiving all the kind comments have just been the best thing ever, I am living my dream of sharing with people around the world what I am truly passionate about. I had made this blog one of my top priorities, and to see it thrive is just beyond everything. I want you all to know that if I was not passionate about this, that I would not be here right now writing this. I know I am not posting as often as I would like but I am working on posting quality content, I want you, the reader to leave my blog feeling inspired, after all that's how I felt before I had a blog of my own. I want you all to interact, and share your ideas of what I am posting. Like I have said before, this is only the beginning, I have a good feeling about all of this.
Until later,
XOXO, -T.

Here's a picture of me at age 2. According to my parents, the leopard was all my idea. 
Fall & Winter Wish-List!
Hey y'all, recently I was thinking about my fall and winter clothes and what I need to buy to stay on trend this season. With fall and winter slowly creeping up on us, I thought that it would be a good idea to make a fall/winter 2013 wish-list! From super chic rain-wear, to bright fall chromatics, I have compiled a wish-list of things that will hopefully appear in my closet before fall arrives. Enjoy!
Honestly, it rains all the time in Florida, practically every day. I thought it would be a necessity to have a designated wish list specifically for rainy days, after all don't we all need a super chic umbrella, and a designated trench coat in our lives? I think yes.
1.) New Faux Snake Alligator Envelope Clutch Bag: $60
Where you can buy this item?: huggsy.com
Why it's perfect for a rainy day?: Just because it is raining outside, it doesn't mean under any circumstances that you have to wear dreary clothes, this envelope clutch is cheery, and anything but dreary! It is the perfect size and color, and it is at a reasonable price!
2.) Patagonia Women's Arborist Trench Coat: $299
Where you can buy this item?: patagonia.com
Why it's perfect for a rainy day?: How perfect and chic is this Patagonia trench coat? I have been dying to buy a navy trench coat forever, and I have found the perfect, ultra fabulous trench coat! I love how it looks right next to the mustard envelope clutch, and after all trench coats are a must for rainy days!
3.) HUNTER Rain & Cold Weather Boots: $180
Where you can buy this item? shoescribe.com
Why it's perfect for a rainy day? : Y'all, nothing screams rainy day outfit ensemble like HUNTER boots, I love how they don't really look like rain boots, and have a little equestrian vibe going on! I saw these in Nordstrom's, and I almost bought them, but I opted for different shoes because I was living in Texas at the time. In Texas, rain boots aren't an essential on every body's shopping list because it NEVER rains! I decided that I would probably wear them once or twice, maybe three times if I ever felt the need to treat myself to a London vacation. But now that I live in Florida, where it is raining as I type I will definitely need to buy these, and all the other fabulous items on my wish-list.
4.) Rebecca Taylor Peplum Pullover: $325
Where you can buy this item?: Rebeccataylor.com
Why it's perfect for a rainy day?: This Rebecca Taylor peplum is to die for, I love long sleeves, and peplums! I think the peplum trend will continue through the fall 2013 season! I love peplum's with bold statement necklaces, I think it makes such a 'wow' factor, and rainy days are not in any shape or form, an excuse to be drab. I definitely think this item is the most versatile piece in my rainy day wish-list. It can be paired with every item in this set, and almost everything that I already have and just look effortless, definite must-have!
5.) Hunter Ladies Bubble Umbrella: $48
Where you can buy this item?: zappos.com
Why it's perfect for a rainy day?: This umbrella definitely makes a splash! I love transparent bubble umbrellas, and they have always been a favorite of mine.
6.) Osman Check brocade trousers: $554
Where you can buy this item? :matchesfashion.com
Why it's perfect for a rainy day?: I am obsessed with these trousers, and I am loving the navy and black check, such a statement!
Winter whites are definitely a huge trend for winter 2013!
1.) Chloé Silk Blouse: $895
Where you can buy this item: mytheresa.com
Why this is winter white perfection?: I am obsessed with this Chloé blouse, from the silk, to the bow, to the button down and winter white (ivory to be exact), I need this blouse in my life, preferably my closet.
2.) Alexander Wang Lovisa Snake Embossed Pump in Bandage: $525
Where you can buy this item?: forwardforward.com
Why this is winter white perfection?: It simply does not snow in Florida, and while flip-flops will not be my winter choice of shoe I would simply prefer to be in Wang sandals, as these are beyond chic, for all seasons.

Honestly, it rains all the time in Florida, practically every day. I thought it would be a necessity to have a designated wish list specifically for rainy days, after all don't we all need a super chic umbrella, and a designated trench coat in our lives? I think yes.
1.) New Faux Snake Alligator Envelope Clutch Bag: $60
Where you can buy this item?: huggsy.com

3.) HUNTER Rain & Cold Weather Boots: $180
Where you can buy this item? shoescribe.com
Why it's perfect for a rainy day? : Y'all, nothing screams rainy day outfit ensemble like HUNTER boots, I love how they don't really look like rain boots, and have a little equestrian vibe going on! I saw these in Nordstrom's, and I almost bought them, but I opted for different shoes because I was living in Texas at the time. In Texas, rain boots aren't an essential on every body's shopping list because it NEVER rains! I decided that I would probably wear them once or twice, maybe three times if I ever felt the need to treat myself to a London vacation. But now that I live in Florida, where it is raining as I type I will definitely need to buy these, and all the other fabulous items on my wish-list.

I love peplum's with bold statement necklaces, I think it makes such a 'wow' factor, and rainy days are not in any shape or form, an excuse to be drab. I definitely think this item is the most versatile piece in my rainy day wish-list. It can be paired with every item in this set, and almost everything that I already have and just look effortless, definite must-have!
5.) Hunter Ladies Bubble Umbrella: $48
