I got EPIC NEWS for you guys! As I shared with you before, Jon The Gold was nominated for Best Male Fashion Blog in Belgium and Luxembourg by Zalando. And yessssss I won! The official award show and party was held in Brussels at Hotel de la Poste on the 10th October. The awards were reached out by a very legit and fashionable jury existing of Tiany Kiriloff, Lisa Lapauw, Michael Marson and Jolanda Smit.
AND THE WINNER ISSSSSS ...
Before accepting my award Lisa Lapauw ( Styliste / Founder of Crust Magazine ) gave such a touching speech about me. I was standing there like 'Whuuut Me ? Stap iiiiiiit'. Hereby Thank you very much Lisa! ;-) .
I think my speech was 'a bit longer' then my fellow winners but that did not stop the party tho! After the awards for Best Female Fashion Blog and Best Newcomer my favorite music selector Elisabeth Ouni - or as I like to call her Queen O - turnt the vibe waaay up ... and the party went on with drinks provided by Erasmus Bond tonic mixed with The Botanist gin.
