So, I want to thank Nathalie @ Purple Closet Beauty for nominating me for the Liebster Award. If you like food (um, who doesn't?), you should check out Nathalie's blog. She posts a lot of yummy looking recipes (with pictures!) and she even made a wedding cake. Mucho respect.

Since I'm a rebel, I'm gonna do things a little different for this award. Nathalie posted 11 questions to ask her nominees, which I will answer here. If you want to post the answers to the following questions on your blog, do it! If you want to list 11 random facts, ask your own 11 questions and nominate some other blogs, do it! (Basically, do whatev-ah you want.)
Okay, here we go!
Okay, here we go!
1. What is your current obsession?
Neon. I've been into neon for awhile now, but I just recently got REALLY into it after purchasing the Prabal Gurung for Target neon heels. Since it's cold as f*ck in Chicago, I can't wear them yet, so for now, I'm just prepping for when I can. (If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen my indecisive picture post.)
2. What food do think everyone should try at least once?
2. What food do think everyone should try at least once?
Cheese fritters from the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Kenosha, WI. They are worth the year wait and the $20 ticket fee.

8. What colour is your favorite room?
8. What colour is your favorite room?
I live in an apartment that will charge me if I paint the walls, so they're all some form of white/off-white. At this point though, I like all the rooms in my apartment equally, so the answer is - white.
9. What book made you laugh out loud?

It's been awhile since I've read a funny book, but I'm pretty sure The Fat Girl's Guide to Life made me chuckle.
10. What's the last movie that made you cry?

Year of the Dog. In the first 10 minutes, too.
