Snippid

As I was looking for inspiration for Snippid, I stumbled across a gem of a blog.  Tavi of Style Rookie is the cool 12-year-old I wish I could have been.  I don’t quite remember what I was like at 12 years old, but I was certainly not that hip.  Her blog is a whirlwind of commentary on fashion, photographs of crazy outfits that she puts together (and pulls off quite well), and random musings of a girl who is so different from all the kids I remember in middle school who were desperately trying to fit in.  I don’t read fashion blogs usually, but I was entranced by hers — at first, by the novelty of it (a pre-teen who can write well and has a unique but tasteful fashion sense?  Wow!), then by sheer interest in her ideas.  She makes me want to lose myself in a vintage clothing store for a few hours.

Kudos to you, Tavi, for having a voice and a style that is all your own.  I’m still trying to find mine, as I start off this blog.  We’ll see how this evolves.

Edit:  It looks like access Style Rookie has just been limited to “invited readers only.”  Sigh.  Suffice it to say it was a good blog.  I think it’s probably a good idea it was limited, however, particularly since she’s 12 years old. Anyone can see a public blog, including potentially unsavory characters.  This is another good thing to keep in mind as I embark upon this whole blogging thing.

I, for one, love the smell of freshly wet leaves.

I apologize for the hideous color scheme.  I have much to learn regarding CSS and stylesheets, it seems.  No, I do not really think that tan and pink go together harmoniously.
