When I was seven, I asked my mum for a Chanel suit, I
envisioned a red tweed knee length skirt with a matching jacket trimmed and
decorated with black embroidery and gold buttons… an elegant suit for an
elegant seven year old. Now, I understand it may have been a bit of a stretch
in the family budget seeing as though our boutique of choice was Targét,
however I believed it to be a worthy sacrifice the family should make in the
name of fashion. As you may have guessed, she didn't buy me the suit. Instead
however, she offered to make me one. So, I picked the fabric, the pattern, the
buttons, and even the color of the thread. I wore my new suit to every
"important event" in my life until I was eleven. And so began my love
of fashion. I eat, breathe & live fashion, cliché I know but it's
definitely my life. I spend most of my days searching through
"style.com" or the pages of "Purple Fashion". I’m inspired
by the talent of Yves Saint Laurent, mesmerized by the vision of Givenchy and
love everything about Prada. My wardrobe celebrates my love of fashion. It’s
fun, it’s vintage, its considered.
