I recently got tagged by the lovely Little Rus at Fashion Titbits and lovely 1. What is your favourite item of clothing?
I never bare my shoulders so I love cardis and blazers.
2. What are your biggest obsessions?Over the years I've amassed quite a collection of shoes and handbags...it really does feel like a collection as 90% of them almost never leave their spot on my shelves.
3. Who inspires you?Moms. I'll never tire of seeing children look at their moms with such awe and love.
4. Who is your favourite designer and why?I'd have to meld Karl Lagerfeld, Rudolph Valentino and Zac Posen. And of course throw in Marc Jacob's whimsy. They're amazingly talented and know how to dress a woman.
5. What is your favourite song ever?It wasn't always this song but S sang it to me at our wedding, it was totally unexpected and he totally ruined my makeup doing so, so I'd have to say "Always" by Atlantic Starr.
9. What are your favorite films?6. What is your favourite song right now?
Knock You Down (Keri Hilson feat. Kanye West & Ne-Yo)
7. If you were a sweetie, what would you be?
A RED Gummie Bear! They're so good and squishy :)
Miracle on 34th Street, Big Fish, 13 Going on 30, Finding Nemo, Up, The Notebook...
10. Who is your favourite actor?Her performances may not be deemed Oscar worthy[yet], but I love Lauren Graham. She just seems like soooo much fun. I think if I spent a day with her, I'd surely pee my pants from laughing...at least once.
11. If you could be anywhere in the world, where would you be?S could really use a vacation, "workaholic" doesn't even begin to describe it. I'd love to just be on a beach...anywhere so long as his computer stays behind...or could be thrown in the water.
12. What are your 3 favorite smells? I love the smell of home when you've been away, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and S with or without cologne...preferably with, LOL.
13. What are your 3 favorite tastes? Chocolate, Sushi & Steak.
14. What is your most treasured possession?Other than irreplaceable photos, my grandmother's wedding ring.
15. What did you always want to be/do when you grew up?Strangely, I've always wanted to be a dentist. Unfortunately, I don't have a steady hand.
16. If you were an ice-cream what flavour would you be? Mint Chocolate Chip.
You either love it or hate it ;)
17. If someone made a short film about your life, who would play you?You either love it or hate it ;)
Minnie Mouse?
We pretty much sound the same I think...
18. What would your perfect afternoon consist of?We pretty much sound the same I think...
PJs + comfy couch + a movie or two + some munchies of course!
20. Tell me one random thing... be it your favourite line from a song, scene from a movie or quote from a book.....or tell me about something that you love.19. If you were a flower what would you be?
An orchid or a lily, both of which will forever remind me of my grandmother.
I love so many scenes from The Notebook.
Oh and I know Ryan Gosling's uncle.
No, I never asked if he could get me an autograph :)
I do hope that wasn't too much of a *snorefest* for you.
I'd like to tag the lovelies at:

P.S. Just to answer your question - I think I am older. ;)
What a fun tag! Loved reading all of this. Oh, and I wanted to mention I haven't forgotten about your tag to me. Yes, I'm really bad with these, but it should hopefully go up tomorrow. And I could really do a with a beach vacation right about now. It's so warm here... I just need to dip my entire body in a pool of blue sea...ahhh.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to play along!! I think you would make the most adorable red gummy bear :) And I too think Moms are amazing... what a fun list! As always, I so love coming to read what's going on in your world!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning ring!
ReplyDeleteI love Lauren Graham too... she seems so real. I miss Gilmore Girls! At my old job location, I used to catch the 5 p.m. episode every day on ABC Family...now I commute to work and miss it!
ReplyDeleteI love your answers!! We have SO much in common! I love mint chocolate chip ice cream and ohmygosh to be on a beach right now would be HEAVEN. And your grandmother's ring is so pretty. What a beautiful heirloom. :)
ReplyDeletePS. I just put my answers up too! Thanks for tagging me!!
I love how you chose Minnie Mouse. That's cute! and I chose mint chocolate chip to be my ice cream flavour too when I did this tag :)

Awww I love your 20 things! And now, I totally have a craving for gummy bears. I used to buy the huge costco size of gummy bears and tear through them like a woman on a mission, LOL. I also love the song "Always" by Atlantic Star. It's so romantic! Aaaaah....I can just picture your hubs singing that at the wedding; I doubt there was a dry eye in the house! (About the futuristic party pics, everyone was so much more dressed up than me I felt kind of silly so I didn't bust out my camera, LOL).
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I loooooooooooooove that song. Your hubs rocks!! And it is amazing the way bambinos look at their mams. When I go get my little man in the morning and he grins that sleep grin at me, I melt! Fab post lovely lady!
ReplyDeleteYay for mothers, they really are inspiring!! And YUM at gummie bears, I always prefer the red colour of any sweet to be honest...except for jelly beans, because the popcorn ones are amazing. Awww and your rainbow sounds so beautiful :) Wow, your grandmother's wedding ring looks stunning, what a wonderful memory to have! Haha and yay for Minnie Mouse :) Hope you're having a beautiful day!
ReplyDeletei enjoyed all your answers! It is always good to know more about my fellow bloggers =)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not a snore fest! I love Lauren Graham too ;)
ReplyDeleteAww, this is such an adorable post. And I just HAD to bring back Minnie's voice so I could imagine exactly how your voice sounds. hehe. Wasn't the first bracelet awesome?!? I loved it too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Hi friend, don't apologize for not looking at my blog before you posted this, I am flattered that you thought of me and you couldn't be more thoughtful!!! XOXO Hope your Thursday is going well. Sigh...one more day until Friday.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool that you sound like Minnie Mouse!

YESSS!!! love me some knock you down (and ne-yo, mmm mmm). thanks for checking out my bloggy. you're so thoughtful. but WAIT! you wanted to be a dentist?! OY!!!
ReplyDeleteHi!! I've enjoyed reading your answers so very much! They're all so lovely and telling a lot about yourself. We have 1-3 in common :) And I love Lauren Graham, too. She is soooo funny, isn't she! Of course I fell in love with Lorelai Gilmore and then I've tried to find out more films with her. I've visited your blog before but since I wasn't able to leave a comment with Name/URL I always left unseen... So I'm leaving my comment now through my Blogspot account.... A very fabulous and wonderful blog! Very creative and unique!

surveys are so fun!
ReplyDeleteI would be a red gummy for sure!
This is such a fun post to read! My mom is my inspiration too. Don't know if you saw, but the very first post on my blog was dedicated to my mom :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for commenting on my blog!
XO
Ela, I love your list! It's so fun and sweet! I'm headed out of town for the weekend, but I'll get to work on it...have to think about this one because I think we have a lot of the same answers. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the tag! And for the heads-up on the weird blogger stuff. I wonder if it's my fault? I just learned how to "schedule" posts (I'm a blog delinquent) so maybe I messed up the dates...
a red gummy bear?!?!? I LOVE THAT!!
ReplyDeletei would be a gummie bear too! red ofcourse! :p
ReplyDeletexxx
GREAT post, Ela! I loved reading all of these things about you! I love red gummy bears, too! Well, I really love anything gummy (lol). I also love that story about your husband at your wedding! You guys seem like the cutest couple ever!
ReplyDeleteI want people to keep giving you these tags because they are sooo interesting!
Cheers!
mmm, i love gummy bears. weirdly enough, my favorite are the clear ones.
ReplyDeleteand i LOVE the notebook. one of my favorites ever :)
That photo of the gummy bear is adorable! I'm so glad you did this. I feel like I learned so much about you. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletei love these things! i totally adore Lauren Graham too as I was addicted to Gilmore Girls.
ReplyDeleteDear Ela, thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog! YESSSS, it's such a pleasure to have something in common :-D
ReplyDeleteThansk for adding me to your blog roll, I will do the same now, dear! Wishing you a very wonderful and sunny weekend!!
Big hug!! S.

Minnie Mouse would play you...that is the cutest thing ever! Good choice i think!
ReplyDeleteI really love this post, darling! You're amazing!
ReplyDeleteFM~FP~AF
I love blazers as well!
ReplyDeleteAnd just read your go eat something post (sorry I've been MIA) and I have the same issue too, it's always the big big girls (around 200 pounds) that say those comments to me. And honestly whatever makes them happy and feel better about themselves. I don't care. We both know that we're healthy and unfortunately some people need to insult others to make themselves feel better. It has become a social tabu to call someone a fatty but it seems okay to say things like "go eat a sandwich" or "you're too skinny". It's BS!
uber cool :D
ReplyDeleteummmm chyello ms ela, where is your friday post? i need my friday morning ela post!!! haha! ;P
ReplyDeleteI loved your answers - especially the gummy bear choice, too cute...Enjoy your weekend, xv.
