And so the nominations were opened. All you had to do was fill in a form nominating your choices in the categories she had chosen.

Whilst I had no doubt that the StyleXL event would definitely happen, I didn’t want to set myself up for another disappointment.

All you need to do is go to the StyleXL awards website here and choose your favourites in each category. As I mentioned I am up for
Thank you all for your continued support, and watch this space for a chance to win tickets to the award ceremony.
