Tropis Beauty

This week I went to the Bloggers Club Awards, and donned this gorgeous new kimono – and luckily for me it arrived on the day of the awards, what timing! And the sequins make it perfect for this week’s Aussie Curves theme, metallic (look at me, multitasking on the blog!).

I’m really loving kimonos at the moment, I’ve acquired four of them in the last month or so, ranging from super casual “wear over my bikini” ones to the more glam ones that I can wear out to events (like this one!)

On Tuesday I went along to the nzgirl / Bloggers Club awards for 2014. It’s always fun catching up with other bloggers – I see some of them at PR events, but between us we write about such an array of things that there are a few I don’t see out and about (special shout out to my fave foodies Rhi from In Rhi’s Pantry and Kirsten from High Tea with Dragons). It’s an end of year celebration of all things blogging, with our sponsors Hell Pizza putting on a tasty feast (because nothing goes together like blogging and pizza!).

It’s also the night that we get to recognise blogging achievements from throughout the year – including the Best Newcomer (Holly from Life and Lily), Best Vlogger (Tara and Ellen from Shop Style Conquer), Top Blog Post (which was undeniably Kirsten‘s amazing Pineapple Lump Fudge), and the Top Blogger awards. I was lucky enough to be chosen as a Top Blogger finalist, along with Nicola from Eat Well NZ and Kirsty from Makeup Obsessives, with Hannah from The Modern Girl taking runner up and Leonie from The Style Insider winning the ultimate award, Top Blogger for 2014. I hope you’ll take a moment to check out these other fab bloggers – we all write about different things and I am so proud to be blogging alongside such talented people!

Uhhh back to my outfit – let’s talk about this freaking amazing kimono. It’s light and breezy – perfect for the humid weather we are having here at the moment. I also love the gorgeous tropical print – what a great way to brighten up the gloomy start to summer that we’re having.  I sized up in the kimono so I could get an extra drapey look, and I’m so glad I did – it’s so nicely flowy and such a relaxed fit. If you want to nab this wee gem for yourself, I suggest you head over and enter this giveaway to score a gift card to spend at Nyata!
