Questionnaire Friday

In response to one of my favorite bloggers (who also gets distracted by such posts) I'm answering the questionnaire she passed along from The Pursuit of Style blog.

Inslee's answers (for those too lazy to click here and see for yourself) are:

Talent I wish I had: The ability to enjoy seafood 

Best Gift I Ever Received: In the 1st grade I had the market cornered on pretty ballet flats with bows on them from Jacadi and all I wanted was a pair of white cowboy boots from Kmart. My mother’s classic taste and good judgement told her she could never buy me these boots and live with herself. I begged for weeks, but she knew it would set a dangerous precedent, one that could ultimately lead to me having a lower back tattoo. Not wanting to completely crush my dreams, she did help me bake brownies and allow me to sell them at my dad’s office to earn the money for the boots myself. I learned years later that my dad bought all the brownies. So thank you to my parents for the gift of the entrepreneurial spirit. They taught me that this will allow you to make your own choices, carve your own path and have the freedom to make your own sartorial decisions with the financial independence to act on them. (are you hearing Destiny’s Child?)

most memorable stamp on your passport: Zermatt, Switzerland.

Something I am excited about: The arrival of my new bedding from Serena & Lily. And, just for the record, I am always, always excited about croissants

Favorite Restaurant: You really can’t play this game in NYC. It’s too overwhelming. So I’m going to a throw back, Tuscarora Mill in Leesburg, Virginia. My first favorite restaurant love.

Camo Pants: do or don't: Never in a million years

Lindsay's answers from The Pursuit of Style blog are:

Talent you wish you had: Beautiful handwriting
Best gift you’ve ever received: I’ve only come to appreciate this as a gift recently, and it’s sappy, but my education. Thanks Mom and Dad! I should also give a ton of credit to my boyfriend for killing it this Valentine’s Day with a totally unexpected scavenger hunt. The treasure? A stack of Domino magazines I was missing from my collection and plane tickets for an upcoming trip. So sweet I cried!
Most memorable stamp in your passport: Spain
Something you’re excited about: I haven’t told you guys yet, but The Pursuit of Style is getting a makeover! Hanna has worked her magic for me again and I’m so so excited to launch the new look. Fingers crossed you love it as much as I do!
Favorite restaurant (share the city too so we can visit!): The Cape Sea Grille, Harwich Port, MA
Camo Pants: Do or Don’t?: I really want to be able to pull these off but I’m not sure I’m cool enough, ha!

without further adieu, my answers:

Talent you wish you had: singing well and/or dancing (think Memphis pom team)

 
Best gift you’ve ever received: I'll second Lindsay with my education but go a step farther and also say my leopard bath robe given to me by my TNB's... because only they understand the importance of a fabulous leopard ensemble to get ready in

 
Most memorable stamp in your passport: considering they don't do this anymore (much to my dismay) and the fact that I've only ever been out of the country on my SB cruise last year I vote Cozumel, Mexico. Because nothing tops magic yellow bracelets, double-fisting dirty bananas and nearly getting left in a foreign country

 
Something you’re excited about:The summer, the future, and this weekend. The past year has been full of amazing change and I can't wait to see what's next.

 
Favorite restaurant (share the city too so we can visit!): This one's a toughy but I'll go with Jim's Place Grille and Sakura sushi in Memphis, Tennessee.

 
Camo Pants: Do or Don’t?: now I vote no, but there was a time in my not so distant past (cough sophomore year) where I rocked a thrift store pair originally purchased for sigma nu white trash bash like it was my job

 Your turn.
