She is the creator of the fashion blog The Style Rookie.
It has risen to fame and has a bizillion followers, she has been invited to New York Fashion week, been around the likes of John Galliano and all sorts of fun designers, been in Vogue and things my 12 year old fashion self could have only dreamed of or not even!
Sadly blogging hadn't been invented when I was her age, and internet was crazy dial up, that took forever to connect, that sound, ahhh! Cell phones required a giant shoulder bag with cords and antennas and a car battery to function. If we had blogging it would have given me something to do with my teenage angst, instead of spending so much energy brooding and writing morbid poetry, making paintings that scared my grandmother, singing Tori in bus shelters with Ultraviolet Alice, raiding book stores for the oldest smelling book and being a general terror.... I could have put my thrifting and vintage finds to good use and done like Tavi, documenting my outfits and writing about fashion. Although who's to say I would have had the drive or the creative writing skills? ooohhh we had it good back then, when vintage was only 5$ a bag full.... If I had enough foresight I would have kept it all and I'd swim in it right now!
Moral of the story; What a clever girl, good for her... A crafty entrepreneur starting early!
Check out her blog. She seems like a sweet heart and obviously has a very bright present and future ahead of her. I am a fan.
