Want to know all my secrets?
Lana was kind enough to ask me to be featured on the Blended Blog today where I answered these burning questions…
How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
What is something that people might be surprised to know about you?
What hobbies do you have other than blogging?
Other than blogging, what do you do for a living (profession)?
What has been the most rewarding outcome of blogging?
What is your favourite style season (fall, spring, summer, winter) and why?
What is your favourite (or dream) vacation destination?
Pop over for a visit if you’re interested in my answers.
I finished a new card of a dancing chick with very long legs wearing a tutu this week. Now available in my Etsy store.
Also I was lucky enough to be chosen by the Independent Fashion Bloggers for their weekly round up of Links à la Mode.

I’m so glad for your blog! How awesome other people are too. Loved your answers to all the questions. OMG I so hope you get to go on your dream birthday vacation. You look AMAZING!!!! Have a beautiful weekend.
suzanne carillo says
Thanks JR : ) It is an estate sale weekend so I’m excited!
jodie filogomo says
It was a great read (for some strange reason I couldn’t comment or go to the links on her site—so I’m doing it here!)
I can’t believe you didn’t gush about your pug? I don’t even have a pug and I love him to death!!
You’re a great inspiration Suzanne—probably because you about my age (a little younger) yet quite adventuresome!!
Thanks for continuing to blog!

The questions didn’t allow for pug bragging…although I should have figured out how to fit it in there somewhere. Zoë feels somewhat neglected now.
I have better stories about some of my travels on the blog Jodie…you might like this one,

suzanne carillo says
Yes, my whole family is pug obsessed. Every member of my famiy, sister, brother, Mom and Dad all have pugs. It is a regular pug-a-palooza when they are all together.
Maddie and BabyBelle are such great names!
Andrea@WellnessNotes says
Great interview! I enjoyed learning a bit more about you! I love that you and your husband both love to dress up in authentic vintage clothes! If you lived closer I would throw a vintage themed party just so I could invite you!
Cute card!
And congrats on being included in the weekly round up!
suzanne carillo says
Aw dang! We’d be over for that party in a heartbeat : ) Any reason to dress up is a good one for me.
Lana says
Thanks so much for letting me feature you!
Kezzie says
The dancing chick is beautiful!!!! You are such a talented artist!
Loved the interview!!! I didn’t know about the themed evenings!!! How cool is that!! AND Chef school!!! You are amazing!!
Vix says
Loving that long-legged chick, she’ s fabulous.
What a great read your interview was. I love that you speak French every other day. I used to share a house with a girl from Paris in the 1980s and she insisted we played her French version of Trivial Pursuit which helped my conversational skills no end.
Hope that dream trip becomes a reality. xxx
Denise says
So nice Links a La Mode, dear Suzanne, great to be featured, congratulations! I tried to leave a comment on your interview, but it was not possible, don’t know why. But I loved your answers, and knowing a bit more about you. That your hubby has kind of as many shoes as you, ad that you are/were a cake decorator, you met your husband in Nice and so on… really so nice! Yes, may times I thought of leaving the blog, even yesterday… but then,, when I think of the friends I made, then I go on with new energy! I hope you can go to Namibia!!! The dancing chick is so sweet, by the way! Hope you have a nice week!

A fun interview. It always tickles me that Robert is from Nice – a city I adore visiting. I shall raise a glass to you both when we’re next over there!

Debbie Stinedurf says
Fab interview! Although I guess I’ve been hanging around here long enough that there weren’t any major surprises! One thing I didn’t know is that you went to chef school, but again, not surprising in light of all of the fabulous looking things you’re always cooking up. And hey…congrats on the nod from IFB!

Suzanne, you are just so wildly talented I can’t even say. I loved your interview too. AND congratulations as well on yet another IFB Links a la Mode. Yeah!!!
No Fear of Fashion says
Now who is getting famous???? I went over to the blended blog and read your story. No secrets to me there. And that hat is so fabulous on your head. It makes you look a little cheeky, a little bit like a singer in a band.

Trina says
Loved your answers, but remember what my dad said about Anthro “it’s just an overpriced thrift store” so there you go. Thats why we love it, right?
suzanne carillo says
Ha ha! REALLY overpriced!
Anna Parkes says
