I love questionnaires!
I found this one courtesy, once again, of Angie from Lariats and Lavender,
which is a blog I’ve been a fan of for a long time!,
who found it from Kyla at Kyla is Inspired,
which is a blog I just discovered and is really lovely!!!
I’ve been listening to a lot of big band music lately, but I’ve been really into “Hand in Glove” by The Smiths!
2. Favorite ice cream flavor?
I love coffee flavoured ice cream! Ever since I had a hot fudge coffee sundae at Ghiradelli in San Francisco when I was sixteen years old, I’ve held coffee dear to my heart. But I’ll try anything!
3. Are you a polka dots, stripes or sequins kind of girl?
I love stripes! I wear an inordinate amount of horizontal stripes, which is supposedly the number one fashion “don’t”, but who cares? Also glitter > sequins, in my estimation. Sequins are for special occasions, but glitter stays with you FOREVER!
4. Your favorite beauty product or secret?
I swear by Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion! The website even lists it as a “Blogger Fave”. Uh, it’s amazing. It makes any cheap eyeshadow last all day. And believe me, I get compliments ALL DAY LONG on my eyeshadow creations!
5. Favorite spot in the area (or state) you live in?
I will never get tired of walking through Central Park, in any season of the year! I love every part of New York City for a different reason. The Upper West Side is classy, Greenwich Village is a nice place to disappear, the Upper East Side is a good place to show off, Midtown is always full of things to do, the East Village makes you feel cool, and the Highline/Chelsea is full of some of my fondest memories! But Central Park is ever-changing, and has something for you, no matter what your mood.
6. Current app/website addiction (besides Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest)?
I’m a huge fan of the Bloglovin’ app. It lets me stay up-to-date on my favourite blogs, even when I’m away from home! You know me – busy busy busy.
7. What’s at the very top of your Christmas list this year?
Okay, there’s a gift shop in my hometown that sells the most amazing flavoured coffees. I want some Snickerdoodle coffee!!! I can find great coffee in New York, but Snickerdoodle is one I just can’t get here!
8. What is your favorite color?
Purple. Always purple! Aubergine, to be precise!
9. What do you order when you go to a coffee shop?
If I’m not in the mood for a plain black coffee (dark roast!), I’ll get a caramel macchiato, skim milk, no whip.
10. Favorite place to shop?
I know it’s not classy, or whatever, but I adore Target!! I love wandering the aisles early in the morning, coffee in hand,
11. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
Maybe it’s all these old episodes of Doctor Who I’ve been watching lately, but I’ve had such a yen to visit England again! London, the countryside, or some random small town.
12. Go-to nail polish color?
I always believe you can’t go wrong with classic black. It can be classic, chic, edgy, and badass all at once!
13. What is your favorite outfit?
I love my sweatpants and t-shirts. I know. So sad. But I’m a low-key gal at heart, and I love bein’ lazy.
Yes! Tons! I had my ears pierced when I was younger, but I haven’t worn earrings in something like a decade. Since then, I’ve gotten a handful of tattoos — the face on my arm, the heart, star, and apple on my wrists, and the roses across my chest!
15. What animal would you be, based on your personality?
I always joke that Pomeranians are my spirit animal. They’re fluffy, almost always smiling, but have quick tempers!
My all-time favourite song is “Perfect Day” by Lou Reed (RIP).
I know it’s a cliche, but I love my iPhone! It helps me stay on time, entertained, it’s amazing! The case is beautiful as well. But I have a rule – when I’m with people, the phone goes to silent, and into my purse.
I tag all y’all! Answer the questions and let me know in the comments if you had!
In addition, I have these questions for you:
What is one non-holiday thing you’re looking forward to in the next few months?
How do you take your coffee (or tea?)
What is your current food obsession?
What do you wear to sleep in?
DON’T BREAK THE CHAIN!!!
