Wow.

Today, I'm having an unusually good day, considering that I am CHRONICALLY SLEEP-DEPRIVED (I think I've developed some form of insomnia)!

Lots and lots of reasons to smile, today, though! (Yay!)

Number One...

The new issue of Lipstick Royalty Magazine fully rocks. Rachel worked so, so hard for it, and it's become a truly amazing issue, despite all the set-backs. It's made me proud to be a part of the team!

Please, please, please, click HERE to buy a downloadable copy for just £1.50, all of which goes to the truly wonderful Laura Crane Trust cancer charity.

*Prouds*

Number Two...

Today was a dressing-up day at school. Yay! :)

I had a fabulous time as the not-so-Wicked witch of the west, in my purple dress (yes, the one that you guys persuaded me to buy) with a witch's hat... I'm pretty sure that Lady Scarlett, photographer-in-chief and best friend, will b providing some photos soon enough, so I'll show you all what prats we looked pretty soon!

Number Three...

I finally wrote the new British Style Bloggers weekly update. Just this once, you can read it HERE. Normally, you'd have to subscribe...

Number Four...

I'm featured in this week's IFB Links á la Mode! I worked really hard on my featured post, so I'm really pleased it made the cut!

Number Five...

The lovely Intrinsically Florrie has given me another award!

Honest Scrap Award

Here are the rules I must follow:
1. Say Thank You and give a link to the presenter of the award - tick!
2. Share "10 Honest Things" about myself - below!
3. Present this award to 7 others whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged me. - oh no... only seven?!
4. Tell those 7 people that they have been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines. - will do!

Ten honest things about me...

1. I'm Welsh by birth, and fiercly proud
2. I'm not actually sure why I'm a fashion writer. When I signed up for Lipstick Royalty, I asked to be anything but - and now look at me!
3. I'm currently applying for English Lit & History at uni
4. My friends are my inspirations - Sarah & Rachel especially!
5. I have a habit of giggling insanely at anything
6. Said giggle is the most annoying laugh on the planet
7. I want to be a journalist. Preferably at the Guardian. Dream on...
8. I'm too scared to apply for a provisional driving lisence!
9. I never check my facebook. This annoys Sarah alot.
10.  I have twitter. I don't know why, and I wish I could stop. I can't.

Presenting this award!

Obviously, I wish I could give this to everyone I read, but that's not going to happen (it would take forever). I especially wish I could give it back to lovely Florrie, but I don't have enough awards to... sorry, honey! :(

Ok, here goes...

1. Sarah, my best friend, of Always Dangerous, Fully Fabulous.
   She's just starting out as a blogger, but she's a fabulous friend, and I think she deserves some recognition. Love you, hon!
2. Rachel, of Cause I'd Rather Waste My Life Pretending
   A true inpiration, a true friend, a true star
3. Sherin and Leia of HiFashion
   For writing me such fab guest blogs for BSB! Thank you thank you thank you!
4. Jo Anne Yadda of Crafting for Cheapskates
   Thank you for being a cntributor! Your blog rocks!
5. Claire of Illustrator Claire
   Because she's faaaaabulous, darling
6. Laura of Kisses and Curls.
   Because her redesign flipping rocks!
7. And finally, the whole team of Lipstick Royalty Magazine - the unsung heroes of the mag, who are so incrdible! Love you all!
   Rachel (of course!), Catherine, Lauren, Loriel, Rhian, Beth, Ashley, Eileen and Callie, this is for you

So, now I just have to tell them all... That'll be no mean feat!

And finally Number Six...

We're having Chinese food for dinner!
