This week something monumental happened. My husband and I celebrated 5 years together (not married, just together) on the 17th. In our usual unromantic form, we remembered at the last hour, kissed and said “happy anniversary. I didn’t get you anything, did you? No? Oh good.” Oh and I was named Blogger of The Moment by Modcloth on the very same day and now there is a dress named after my blog! Cool, right? I asked my husband if he thought 5 years ago if I’d ever have a dress named after me and he said “no, not anything against you, but no.” So there you go. Five years together and I’m still surprising him.
Stop by if you want to read my (goofy) interview answers and see the Kendi Everyday dress. I wanted them to name it Bloggy Style but they insisted on Kendi Everyday. (I’ll style up the dress after the 30 for 30. Not even a namesake dress can break the rules. I am hardcore.)

Congratulations! You totally deserve it!
Double congratulations. That's so exciting. Looking forward to seeing you style it up (and pleased to see you're not breaking the rules of the 30 for 30 – if you did I would be off the no-shopping wagon in a moment).

Congrats! Having a dress named after you seems like a pretty big deal 🙂 I am enjoying your blog and your writing style. Congrats on the 5 years. Hubby and I are about to hit that as well (not married, but together, just like you and many others I am sure) Keep up the wonderful blog and great work on the 30 for 30.
So amazing, Kendi! And of course, so well deserved! We all love you!

Happy Anniversary. Such a cute dress to be named after you. Congrats.
Congratulations!!!

Surprise, surprise! Congrats Kendi!

While I think it's BEYOND amazing they named a dress after you and well deserved…the dress doesn't remind me of your style 🙁
Yeah, the dress doesn't exactly remind me of my style too much but I think I can put my spin on it. It's definitely a special occasion dress. I just need an occasion, ha! I've got some sparkle tights that I think will do the Kendi Everyday trick.
so proud of your modcloth dress! that is quite an accomplishment! love your blog and i frequent modcloth for new ideas!! congrats again!!
Congratulations! I'm actually neurotically terrified to buy things online, but I've always loved ModCloth's pieces, so I just may have to start breaking down my paranoia…
This past Saturday was the 5 year anniversary of when I met my husband, too! It's so crazy to think how much has happened in 5 short years. I'm sure you and Brian feel the same way!
Congratulations on 5 years and the dress! It's gorgeous and I can't wait to see you wear it.
wow!! a dress named after you?? that is amazing!! congrats on 5 years!!
CONGRATS!!! such an honor and you deserve it:)
