current obsession: fashion blogs.

Beautiful photography, sick fashion, day-to-day outfit logs (my fave), runway commentary, snazzy writing... what's not to love?

I've been a loyal follower of the Sartorialist for a while now, but after randomly stumbling upon some 15-year-old girl's amazing, sophisticated-beyond-her-years blog the other day (what was she raised on, tofu salads, nonfat lattes and Marni? more about her below), my fashion blog consumption has hazardously increased. 

Some sites of interest:

1. http://www.fashiontoast.com/

Lots of pretty, pretty pictures and crazy, crazy fashion. The blogger basically posts a billion magazine-worthy, scenic, modelesque photos of herself. Definitely not the self-loathing type. But maybe I'd do the same if I looked like her. Her style's a tad bit over-the-top (bizarre shapes, sky-high platforms, dangerous-looking jewelry), but definitely interesting to look at.

The 15-year-old I was talking about. So intrigued by her. Simple, understated, elegant. Perfect combination of vintage thrift store finds, mainstream Target/Forever21/H&M pieces and Nordstrom splurges. Also, she posts lots of creative DIY-stuff and fun collages. I think this might be my favorite one of the bunch (at least of the moment). 

Hi. You are 15. And perfect. K.

Had to include this because the blogger is... wait for it... twelve. As in twelve years old. Yeah, WTF?! Can you please enlighten me as to how a seventh grader is able to serve up sophisticated, edgy, educated commentary on runway looks, designer collections, and up-and-coming fashion trends? At her age, I think I was still wearing OshKosh. There's also an amusing Teen Vogue interview here if you're curious.

HAHA. You're 12. What is going on here.
