I am so excited to be nominated for a Liebster Award by the fabulous Munachi of A Glamorous Revelation blog. I have only been blogging for about 7 months, so it is so nice to realize that others have found my blog and like it enough to follow along!
There are a couple of rules for being nominated, like linking back to the nominator (thanks so much Munachi!), answer the questions they gave you, list 11 facts about yourself and your blog, pick 11 small bloggers to nominate, and let them know they've been nominated. I've included all the information below, so hopefully it gives you some more insight into me and my blog!
11 Questions for Chic Love Affair's Liebster Award
1) What has been your proudest blogging/blogger moment so far?
My first comment! At that point it really became real and I quickly realized how great it is to connect with others through blogging.
2) What is one beauty product that you swear by?
Mascara in general...I can't leave the house with black curly lashes. Some of the brands I love are Tarte, Clinique, Dior Show, and CoverGirl.

3) Instagram or Twitter?
Instagram for sure! I don't even have a Twitter account yet. I am a visual person, so I love seeing other people's pictures and love to get inspired by browsing through. I guess this also explains my obsession with Pinterest.

4) What is one item on your Rich Girl Wishlist?
A pair of nude Christian Louboutin heels. They are so eye catching and I would love to own a pair.

5) What is your favorite movie, TV show, or song?
It's so hard to choose, but in general I enjoy romantic comedies/chick flicks. For TV shows I really like Gossip Girl, Drop Dead Diva, Sons of Anarchy, Burn Notice, and the Walking Dead ( in other words all kinds lol). As far as music, right now I really like Lana Del Ray's "Summertime Sadness."

Wavy...it used to be more curly, but over the years it has become more straight.

7) On the beach, in the city, or out in the country?
How about in the city, looking out on the beach, in a country cottage themed B&B. In other words I can appreciate a little bit a bout each, but I am a small town girl that loves to visit the city and sit on the beach (I don't like being in water).

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle

9) Who is your celebrity girl crush (I won't judge if it's not Beyonce)?

10) Name one little luxury you love to indulge in (ex. bi-monthly pedicures, Starbucks coffee, an extra half hour for your lunch break on Fridays).

11 Facts About Me and Chic Love Affair Blog
1) I would love to have my own clothing boutique one day. The idea of selecting the clothes, styling and merchandising them, and being a 'shop girl' would be so much fun.
2) Soup is one of my all time favorite foods. I typically don't pass up an opportunity to order it when we out at restaurants.
3) Some of my favorite books are the "Confessions of a Shopaholic" series by Sophie Kinsella. I can totally relate to the main character and the books are the perfect amount of funny and romantic.
4) I am a total list maker and find myself making lists for all kinds of things just to keep it all straight. I love pretty notepads and office supplies to aid in this little quirk of mine.
5) I'm not much of an animal person, but we are considering getting a beagle puppy. They are just so cute, so we'll see.
6) My Blog name is made up of my initials CLA and I chose words that I liked in each letter. So far I love it and I think it really represents me and my blog content so far.
7) In case you haven't noticed I love shabby chic décor. I would love to own a quaint little cottage and decorate the place in some of my favorite soft colors.
8) I work as a full time senior manager of an insurance claims office. I love my job, but I started my blog as a creative outlet for me outside of work.
9) Traveling is one of my all time favorite things to do. I love being in airports, hotels, and just exploring somewhere new.
10) I speak German and would love to learn at least 6 other languages. Next on my list is either Arabic or Russian.
