Good morning!
I have good news and I have sad news. I'll drop the sad news first: I wasn't chosen for Full Time Fabulous...
But the good news is... I'm back to my regular posting on 9to5Chic!!! =)
I've learned a lot this last month and it has proven to be an amazing experience for me. For one, I know that I absolutely love blogging. By day I'm buried in all things medical/technical/serious. But my escape is here. And "meeting" you guys (even if only by web) has been the biggest reward.
Thank you again and again for your support and for continuing to visit 9to5Chic. I had no idea that my modest little blog could have garnered so much interest and support from such a warm community. And just to demonstrate how much support, here's my experience in numbers:
- 31 days of Full Time Fabulous fun and 34 posts with outfits, photo diaries, cravings and assignments
- 1,029 comments
- 4,743 votes cast (you guys definitely helped outweigh the negative "1" star voting throughout!)
- 1,518 YouTube views of my Webisode alone!!! That blew me away!!!
- 747 YouTube views of my Grand Finale video
- 3,586 total YouTube views (more videos to come on 9to5Chic?? Definitely!)
- 624 "likes"
- 100+ new Google Followers, almost 200 new Twitter Followers and around 100 new Facebook Fans
Thank you friends, from the bottom of my heart! =)
I'm sorry it didn't work out Anh, but I'm also happy that you'll be back blogging for 9 to 5 full-time :) You are awesome and I love your sense of style!
ReplyDeleteAwww, I was so certain you would win. You have the right attitude though. You have so many people who adore reading your blog! I think those of us who were rooting for you consider you the winner!
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm so sorry about the decision, but maybe other doors will open for you. Your blog is lovely, your style impeccable, and you are just gorgeous with a radiating smile. A person would have to be completely nuts not to want to work with you.
ReplyDeleteI really thought you deserved to win! I love your style and blog and will continue to read!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry girl! I enjoyed every single one of your posts at Full Time Fabulous. I think you have a great sense of style and you are absolutely beautiful. You are incredible nice and supportive of other bloggers, specially newbies like myself, and that makes you and your blog even more special.{hugs!!!}
ReplyDeleteaw im sorry! you def deserved it.
ReplyDeleteglad to have you back though :)
Anh, I just wanted to say that you are one of my favorite fashion bloggers with such impeccable style and attitude, both in clothing and writing! Your blog is so refreshing to read after a long day of medical seriousness for me! :)
ReplyDeleteWhile FTF chose a different finalist, San Francisco and all who follow you, including I, will rejoice that you will be continuing your 9to5Chic blog!
Sorry you didn't win...my vote was definitley for you by far :)
ReplyDeleteWOW!! great accomplishments ANh!! SO proud of you!!!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm sure that must've been a disappointment, you are still Full Time Fabulous to your followers! You are gorgeous & effortless. I look forward to seeing what you're wearing on 9to5chic!!
ReplyDeleteSorry it didn't work out, but you're right this is one fabulous community and we're all very supportive so hope you stick around with blogging.
ReplyDeleteWow! I am sad that you did not win, but you definitely gained something by doing that competition.
ReplyDeleteAnh...you were the ONLY one I voted for! But the fact that you were chosen to participate and take the ride are amazing all on their own. You will continue to have so many readers because you have fabulous style and are so fun to read everyday! Can't wait to continue with you on your blogging journey. xo

HI Anh, you are the BEST to me. By going NYC, you are already the winner. YOu have done such fabulous job and I got so much inspiration from you. I look forward to reading more here from you.
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't win Anh! Even though you totally deserved it. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about Full Time Fabulous, you'll have another opportunity soon.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for a while and love it. You are good at it and someday it will pay off!
Uh, I'm really surprised you weren't chosen to be quite honest since you clearly had more votes and had better articles and style to boot. I'm pretty sure sunglasses hut did a mistake. Totally not purchasing from them.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you didn't win Anh! Next time you'll win!!
ReplyDeleteLove reading your blog it's so inspiring!!!

I can't believe you didn't win! I really can't believe it. I'm so sorry to hear that. I think SH made a big mistake. Huge. (say like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman). You know how I feel about your style--it's incredible and so are you!!
ReplyDeletexoxo
PS-this picture of you is totally stunning!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're back, Anh!!
ReplyDeleteI think you are absolutely amazing no matter what. welcome back!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you didn't get it, but I am happy to see you here!! As a new follower I look forward to getting to know you better and seeing new posts. Yay for the future - there will be great things for you I am sure :)
ReplyDeletexo,

Hi Anh,

Aww Anh,
ReplyDeleteYou are great anyways :)
Sobs! Well this is good and sad news indeed. You hands down should've won...I voted for you daily too : ) But I have a feeling full time fabulous was only the beginning of a bright fashion future for you. We're very happy to have you back on 9to5!

Sunglass Hut got it wrong, but there was plenty of good news! Keep it up, Anh!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comments. =) You guys made me smile, a bunch. Huge hugs out to you guys!
It seems like a worn out cliche but it is absolutely true when it comes to you: you are as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside: and that is jaw-dropping gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI discovered you via that contest, think you are heart wrenchingly lovely and look forward to your future posts. -Bellla Q
