. mireia: style inspiration .

June — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:46:11 +0000

I found a new source of inspiration. I don’t know why I haven’t come across Mireia or her blog, My Daily Style, before, but I love her boho sense of style and the fact that she’s proof that one need not alter their style of dressing just because there’s a bun in the oven. Um, it might also help that she kind of looks like Esther Canadas and probably looks good in anything she wears.

(side note: after perusing my favorite fashion blogs, I’ve decided that everyone in France and Spain is gorgeous and has an amazing sense of style. I’m hoping that one day, the minute Peter and I make our move to Spain, we’ll magically transform into 6 foot tall models. And all of a sudden our closets will be filled with Kate Moss’ and clothes.)

Okay, back to Mireia…

More pretty young things who make me wish I’d been reading TeenVogue and Nylon instead of Tiger Beat back when I was in school.

. style rookie .

I came across a blog called style rookie a while ago and must’ve somehow deleted it from my reader. Shame on me because I’ve been missing out on some good posts…yes, from a 12 year old. I remember wondering how old this little girl was, and when and where she learned to have so much fun with fashion. There’s something about her quirky sense of style, creativity and humor that all keeps drawing me back for more.

When I first found her blog, I caught myself wanting to emulate her. Is that sad? This is the problem with young fashion bloggers. They make me question myself for wanting to copy someone who’s young enough to be my daughter. I’m assuming New York Magazine’s fashion blogger had the same feeling and a little bit of hate came out when she questioned young Tavi’s age and the integrity of her blog.

Honestly, more power to her. Apparently she got some hate filled comments after the post (and many articles that followed) and took a break from posting. I, for one, am glad that she’s up and running again. More fun for me!
