child stars are generally cursed. the cute grow up ugly, the once talented disappear forever, resurfacing only when e! does that terrible "top 100 child stars," hosted by candace cameron and that girl from the cosby show, which is always so awkward and unfortunate that it makes me want to die a little.

but you shan't see miss emma watson galavanting with the likes of fallen child stars. that girl is fierce. not only has she transitioned seamlessly from child star to respected actor, but she has become an unbelievable style icon. i won't lie, i'm also feeling quite drawn to her as i'm reading the harry potter series for the first time (on book 4!), but there's no doubt that that british belle has become a serious fash lady.






july teen vogue editorial. way to go, teen vogue...seriously. the styling, the colors, the punk infused victorian aesthetic...i think it looks amazing. i LOVE the last two, with her in the pink tulle dress, and walking the dogs in that fierce blue creation. quite lovely, all of it.

blazin with the roo

I've been searching for a fabulous slouchy blazer that will easily transition between all four seasons, and that has some good length to it. I have a shorter tux jacket that I like, but, as I said before, I love things that are oversized.

I've found one! I just bought this Burberry blazer from The Roo Vintage, and I'm pretty excited for it to arrive.


Isn't it lovely? I like that it has a straight lapel, one button, and that it's navy, because I love navy and black together. I'm pretty stoked...and it went for only $30 bucks! It really doesn't get any better than that.

Lisa and Michelle are sisters who started The Roo Vintage, and their thrifted finds are ridiculous. Michelle's a professional model and Lisa's a fierce stylist...together they're an amazing team. Great fashion, great prices...a magical place for new treasures.

It's my summer goal to shop more vintage. On recent shopping trips, I've been hitting walls and not a lot seems to interest me. I feel like everything looks the same and I'm bored with a lot of what's out there right now. Summer is not my favorite season to dress for, as people who know me will tell you. I prefer big coats, lots of layering, and opaque tights. I hate sweating. So I figure recreating my style and sticking to more non-commercialized shopping will be a good challenge and a way to combat my disdain for summer attire.

Comment and send me your favorite online boutiques! I'm always always always looking for people and places that are offering something different.
