SA BLOG AWARDS 2010
With the public voting officially over, and with Robyn Cooke locked in as one of two finalists for the "Best Fashion Blog" award at the SA Blog Awards, we did as expected and made the effort to dress up and find out who won. Building up to this day there was blog plugging, friendly requests and even campaigns to get people to sit down and cast their votes for the top blogs in their respective categories. Some needed help and others didn't even need to lift a finger to get in. But either way we assembled into the One and Only and mingled with the best of the blogging world.
The ceremony itself was enjoyable, with a host of speeches which included that of Helen Zille and it ran smoothly apart from a blunder with a blank envelope when the best new blog was announced. There are a lot of opinions on the blog awards but it is a fairly young project and I expect it will grow into the large, respected summit of the blogging world it deserves to be.

"No idea what to wear with these. Of course, they will be special occasion shoes (because they are no breeze to walk in), so I have plenty of time to think...
...I was tempted to buy a second pair to sell because I'm thinking I'll keep these dreamy 6" monster wedges even though I always tell myself I should never wear pumps. Well, these might be the exception. I had a cigarette immediately after leaving like, either I was just shoplifting or I just had sex.
