Admiring this look on StyleBubble:

I really love the gray comfy pants + blazer + hot pink top.

The lapels are what really drew me to this blazer. Krystof Strozyna, Spring Summer 2010.

I wouldn’t have picked the blazer out if I had seen the collection on the runway:

The yellow pants + yellow brown design create too much of a distraction. Feel the same about most runway ensembles–with so many pieces within one collection, it’s hard to pick out what’s beautiful.

I’m a fan of Tavi.

featured in Paris Vogue February 2010

Other than the fact she’s from Oak Park (a suburb of Chicago I’m familiar with…) Tavi puts together non traditional looks that are quite quirky and she truly LOVES fashion. I’m not so impressed by her age–I felt like I had the capacity to think like an adult at that age.

I find too many “fashion people” who are more obsessed with themselves than fashion. They care how they look! Much more than they appreciate the beauty and construction of the clothing and much more than the work that goes behind fashion photography and everything that makes the fashion world so fashiony.

It’s incredibly refreshing to see other bloggers try quirky silhouettes that look funky and neat. Really the heart of what fashion is.
