The Sugahfix Gals are huge fans of anything quirky and kitsch and we love Claire Smyth's blog ‘World of Kitsch'. We even follow her on twitter at www.twitter.com/rudedoodle so we're super pleased that Claire has been shortlisted for Cosmo Blog Awards in the lifestyle section. YAY! Go Claire!

If you haven't yet enjoyed Claire's musings on all things kitsch we asked the lady herself how she'd sum up her blog. "I'd describe my blog as a collection of oddities, curiosities and treasures from my own home. Kitsch, retro, vintage items of questionable taste. Ugly and tacky reign supreme!"

Over 15,000 blogs were nominated for the Cosmo Blog Awards and while Claire has got through to the shortlist - in true X Factor style - she needs your vote!!
