This past week I received the distinct honor of being named BEST NEIGHBORHOOD BLOG by the Sun-Sentinel for the first annual #BOBAwards held on Wednesday night @ Yolo Lounge in Ft. Lauderdale. It was an honor to even be nominated… yet alone win! To this day, I still have no clue who nominated me, but regardless, I want to give a big thank you to all my friends and fans that helped Midtown Chic-a reach the #1 spot.
The best part of this whole experience has been meeting some of the other local bloggers that I’ve been admiring for some time. I mean, really, I think any blogger who takes the time to write about things they’re passionate about or their experiences and wanting to share them with others, deserves to be recognized. Most bloggers have full-time jobs (ahem) and blog b/c they feel inspired to share their experiences with anyone who cares enough to follow along…
As most of you know, I felt inspired to start my blog after moving back to Miami from NYC and wanted to highlight all the cool things South Florida has to offer. I found it coincidental that I could move from working in Midtown Manhattan and find myself living in Midtown Miami (even my apt # matches my old NYC address – crazy!). Of course, I like to write about a lot of different things; events, pets (Lola), travel, fashion, food, etc. Most of my posts are from my own personal experiences … I guess you could say I consider myself a “lifestyle” blogger who happens to live in a cool hot place.
Here’s a snapshot of the winners from the Sun-Sentinel BOB Awards:
Here are some other great neighborhood bloggers (sure I'm missing a bunch) you should be following…

Congrats! Even though we weren't able to make the award ceremony at YOLO's, I agree that the best part about this whole experience was being exposed to other local blogs in the area.
