Love your shoe wall and all of your little toys. I’d die to go back to Asia again and buy so many cool, but pointless toys :)
those necklaces are delicious! i’m checking out the site now… i know, you have AMAZING shoes, but i’m seriously always in awe when i visit. xo
you have the most unique items! and your shoe collection is worthy of a fashion museum :-)
http://fashionhedonism.blogspot.com

so expensive..
i cant even afford a 40 dollar sweatshirt from AA
Soo amazing! All of it!
Your shoe wall is amazing! I love how you have plastic toys all over the place.
You have beautiful shoes! But the heels on your cut away boots are dirrty, you should clean them
Ooh, I’m in love with all your shoes and your jewelry. Just wonderful! Those snake Loubies do look killer!

I’m crazy about your shoes wall ! All are beautiful! I’m so jealous !!!!!!
Absolutely amazing things! I’d seriously love to live in your closet/shoe wall. The skeleton jacket is especially drool worthy :)
Gahh. I think you should just start charging people to visit your beautiful closet.

Your shoe wall makes me so envious!
Dear Jane,
I absolutely adore the cupboard/shelf (in the 11th picture) with your favourite plastic toys. I love the rough, scratched wood and the peeling paint. :D I must myself somewhat guiltily admit that I love to hunt for little treasures in garbage piles that people put in front of their houses. I’ve found soooo many lovely little things. I love the whole hunting process. It must be the whole prehistoric urge, you know what I mean? ;p But as they say, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. Well anyways, I love the shelf/cupboard thing(Goodness, I have no idea what you call that thing. I know there’s a word for it!). I would love to hear its story and you know… the whole discovery process. :P
Yours truly,
Becca
These are great pictures.. No wonder they’re you’re favourite things! I really like the picture of all your shoes.. You have such a stunning collection. And those yellow boots are really quite stunning too!
Lovely shoe boxes,bags,toys etc etc. And I really like that first picture too.The back of the jacket is really quite amazing. Its kind of one of those ideas you wich you’d come up with youself! Do you ever feel the urge to design, out of interest? (;
And the louboutins, although being a little scary, are really stunning.
http://clothescamerasandcoffee.blogspot.com/
i love your shoe wall! it reminds me of the post you did last year when you had readers choose a shoe and then you and your mom wore outfits inspired by the shoes. i think you should do that again soon. :)
I love these pictures! So cute. And the shoe wall – *swoon*!

http://breakfastatsaks.blogspot.com
i love all of your little nic nacs :) so cute!
and i agree, shoe boxes are amazing for storage.
AHHHHH
Amazing…
The shoe wall, I’ve seen it on your blog before,
but this time it stopped me dead in my tracks with
its… power. Hah! Love the skeleton jacket. I am
also interested in how you afford everything, is
it just because your parents had good jobs…
or… somethin?
Much love.
How do you capture such clear and vivid picutres on your camera??? They are fantastic! Wish my camer was that AMAZING!
Those Louboutins are beyond incredible!
Haha, beauty is pain :)
WOWWW Awesome shoe wall, Jane! Love the clothes too!!! And those cute toys!

You take beautiful pictures of your lovely. precious, to-die-for things!
Oooh, I LOVE your shoe wall! <3
I’m reading ‘Laughter in the Dark’ right now! What a coincidence 8)
Margiela boots -simply AMAZING but most importantly i love your toys.
just as a sidenote – http://jesuismichelle.blogspot.com/
lucky, lucky you! what a fun assortment of goodies!!
xox
All the things are beautiful
you have a beautiful collection of shoes. i’m uber jealous
A more detailed post in the skeleton jacket please!!!!!! That jacket deserves it’s own post! Has it ever been featured on your blow before? I really would love to see how you style it/ a front view xo b
Hi Jane,
Ah I wish I had a shoe wall, instead I have a rather dangerous couple of stacks of boxes, I swear they will one day topple and be the death of me!
Did we spot some shoes there you haven’t worn on the blog yet, someone mentioned above, when you and Judy did the shoe challenge, that would be great to do again – selfishly just so we get to see more shoes!
Lovely post though, I am always intriegued by what people have as there favourite things xx
Pearl
http://fashionpearlsofwisdom.blogspot.com/
i see you, isabella rossellini and dash snow!
Please give me that shoewall :)
I love Helmut Newton’s photography. That book is filled with some amazing pictures.
I LOVE your top in the 1st picture. and your shoe collection is to die for!!!
Oh my! Your favourite things are simply AMAZING! Hadn’t seen those yellow Margiela’s before, LOVE ’em! And your shoe wall always sets my heart a flutter :) The Miu Miu tie dye bag, JW flight jacket…oooh, could go on & on, thanks for sharing! :)
xx
are you aware that every person who reads this blog is salivating over that shoe wall of yours? ugh, it’s unreal.
I’m drooling over your collection.
Hi, I have a little question for you: Do you always wear these fashionable clothes and makeup? Every day? Don’t you ever get tired of the whole thing? Just wondering how you can cope, I wouldn’t! Well, maybe I would if I had your closet :)
//Reader all the way from Sweden :)
Great stuff! Your photos are getting better and better everyday.
http://stylescientist.blogspot.com/
The photo of your shoe wall….heavenly. sigh
Oh my goodness. Your wall of shoes is one of the best things I’ve ever seen.
Your closet is full of such amazing clothes and accessories! And all the little toys are too cute!
ok, il admit it-im drooling. no-im BEYOND drooling! your shoe wall is so beyond incredible its hard for me to even imagine words that could come anywhere near to being good enough to describe your shoe wall. the only one i can think of now is shoe-gasm!
Can I be your roommate so we can share clothes?? You have quite a nice collection of shoes there, I love the kitschy-ness of your toy collection too : )
ah, i love laughter in the dark (and all of nabokov basically). your shoe wall is breathtaking.
i don’t think the drawings are that bad! where are you applying for college? are you going to go into design or do you want to be more in the business side of fashion? i’m the same age as you.. who knows.. we may end up going to the same school
Hi
I’ve been a fan of the blog for quite some time now; I think you are unbelievably creative and exploratory in your style choices. I’m sure every reader of yours would kill for a wardrobe that could even be a fraction of yours.
You’re obviously well-off enough to afford these fabulous things, whereas most bloggers are forced to rely on their own thrift and dress-making savvy. I know you have no control into what you were born into and what your natural financial environment is, but, looking at that huge, and certainly invidious, shoe wall, my question is: don’t you ever think of it as excess? I mean, we all have our thralls, things we collect and treasure, but it sometimes seems to me like too much for one person.
I honestly don’t mean to offend you, but thinking about the current economic climate has me questioning how necessary it is to spend so much money on objects, and then to post this–I don’t want to say glut, but it definitely seems like an overindulgence–on the internet, where other fashion-conscious teens will see it, envy it, want it, and think that’s what money should be spent on.
I really do hugely admire your style and your interesting and intelligent take on fashion (not to mention–your other blog is just about one of my favorite things on the internet), but it’s just a question I can’t help but ask.
dear Jane,
Just stopped by your blog and it is heavenly…the comme des garcons skeleton jacket is unbearably delicious,
Truly,
Avyn

mmm i quite like that shoe wall
Could you show us more pictures of your gold Gucci platforms please?
plastic animals +cool as fuck fashion+ out of this world shoes = all I need
Anonymous—
Your post is really thoughtful and it reflects the conflicting feelings I have in reading blogs like this one. I’m all for the democratization of fashion but it seems that a number of popular blogs are written by very affluent people (or those willing to spend a ton of money) and feature looks that largely comprise designer labels. For all the touting of mixing high- and low-end pieces, I don’t see that being executed very much in this or other blogs. I hardly think adding a Forever 21 top offsets the cost of $1,000 shoes and a $1,500 dress. The price of the total outfit is still very expensive even after factoring in a budget item. Jane indeed has an amazing and inspirational personal style, but I wonder if she can pull off an avant-garde look on the average teenager’s budget.
You also ask a question worth asking: how much is enough? Is shopping every day (or nearly every day) a good thing? We as Americans buy so much stuff—more than anyone really needs if we’re honest. Times like these should force us to reevaluate our tendency to consume, consume, consume especially since a lot of people are losing their livelihoods.
Hi Jane, Cool stuffs here. Amazing! It was very supprising that you love plastic miniature toys. Love your shoe wall, accessories, picture quality and window pane :D A refreshing post! Well done. Look forward to your upcoming post.
This is a great post!
We haven’t seen those yellow Margiela’s yet, they’re awesome.
Just had to comment again! You’re bag collection is understated, but, umm, AMAZING. Its so non-chalante chic. I totally dig it, especially the voodoo dolls.. yeah.
xx,
Sarah

Probably my favorite posts of yours recently.. Love the skeleton dress and your plastic animals are too cute!! and your drawing is nice too..=)
POP YOUR FASHION PILL
http://www.fashionisthebestmedicine.blogspot.com
I like this little glimpse into your habitat. Your pieces look well cared for… the shoe wall is basically an art display! You should help me organize! :)
I thought you didn’t enjoy monsieur Louboutin, this is the first time I see the red soles here. Great pics by the way.
Caroline-
My thoughts exactly. It’s frivolous spending that got so many people in financial trouble in the first place. Obviously, I have no way of knowing what Jane’s budget it, but she clearly has room in it to afford all she has. She has enough to go shopping often, and not to deliberate over the value of her purchases too often. The problem with this is that posting these purchases and shopping excursions, and this perhaps unintentional but blatant show of consumerism, isn’t the most accurate yardstick against which to measure the economy. Many of the readers of this blog, which I’m guessing are girls in high school or about to leave high school, are getting ready to become financially independent and to step out under the umbrella of their parents. Jane, who can spend money easily and without worry, might not be the best influence for other girls who are preparing to make their own expenditures and to be responsible for their own incomes, maybe forgoing more sensible things for a pair of shoes that you wouldn’t be able to walk to your next class in.
Self-expression is undeniably important, especially to growing girls, and Jane does it undeniably well. But it’s easy to have good style if you can afford beautiful things that are amazingly crafted, that have great care taken into making unique details, and that are ultimatley exclusive to a certain rung of the social ladder. Can she do it on an average high school girl’s budget? Can she do it without resorting to the typical Vogue method-which I find to be elitist and condescending-of including an American Apparel t-shirt under a four-figure Comme des Garcons jacket and a similarly priced skirt or pair of pants…and without her signature exorbitantly priced pair of pumps?
I’d think I’d be able to respect someone who already seems like an intelligent, gracious, and original girl even more than I already do.
I am loving your necklaces by Assad Mounser, wish I could find them in Dallas…
Beautiful pictures!
I SEE ANONYMOUS AND CAROLINE
WASTED NO TIME
SUCKING EACH OTHER’S DICKS
I featured you on my blog http://thirstythought.wordpress.com/2009/08/09/street-style-loving/
I hope its okay! BIG BIG FAN :)
your shoe wall is insane! love the blue strappy heels on the second shelf and the gold platform ones!
and the metal dragon in the last picture is too cool
http://fashionhandglide.blogspot.com
shoe wall…incredible!!
That fluffy toy dog thing looks like it’s humping the lizard!
And the shoe wall… Ahh, be still my heart!
this is perhaps my favorite post in many months. seeing small tokens of your life only intensifies your cool. you’ve got a smart brain in that skull on those shoulders of yours. thank you for sharing your things with the rest of us :)
There are so many nipples in this entry! Ha ha!
I’m still in awe of your shoe wall & those cut-out Margielas. So envious!
http://sushiforlunch.com
Your shoe wall is fantastic. My collection isn’t as big, and mine are all flats. :3
I think that the ‘haters” for want of a better word, do most blog readers a disservice by suggesting that they will look at Janes’ things and not have the intelligence to separate fantasy from reality
Reading this blog, as I do daily, is pure escapism for me, much as I might gaze upon an original artwork. Knowing that I will never own it, detracts not from it’s beauty and ability to inspire awe
There are blogs in interweb land that cover the whole range of the financial/social spectrum , how dull a world it would be if there weren’t
what an adorable collection of toys!!
Louboutins are THE MOST painful of all. I haven’t even worn mine out of the house.
i really liked this post
Your shoe collection is crazy! Those shoes are to die for..
-Hayanna&Cathy
Your toys are adorable! And honestly, your shoe wall makes my jaw drop and pupils dilate involuntarily. I would love to have a collection like you! I’m far beyond envious.
you are very fortunate to own such extravagant things! i think we all wish we had the money to own such expensive clothes.
That shoe collection, (judging by the shoes you’ve posted in the past, this picture doesn’t include all of them) must have easily cost your parents tens of thousands of dollars, probably more. Coming from someone who can barely make a tuition payment each semester (and I go to a CHEAP public college in NYC), I am incredibly jealous.
I’m not hating on you though. It’s just remarkable for so much to be spent on clothes and shoes to someone like me. However, I’m not even gonna front about world poverty and shit, I would absolutely do the same thing if I was in your situation. I hope you really understand how truly lucky you are. :)
OBSESSION WITH THE LOUBOUTINS. LOVE IT

These series pictures are so inspiring! I wish I could take pictures like that! Couple things to address:
1. Those snakeskin Loubs are amazing! I thought all Loubs were comfortable? ;)
2. Your shoe wall is everything that I dream of! Of course, you have those Miu Miu studded boots that I covet and the runway Marni wedges that I’ve been dying to buy for so long–but nothing comes in my little size 5.5/6 feet :(
3. Love the Assad Mounser necklace!

your shoe collection = drooool!
i love your necklaces and bracelet.
Please where do you buy that snake bracelet??
I need to know it! I’ve been looking for one too many years.
i just died
My jaw dropped when I saw the photo of your shoe wall! It’s heaven! I wish I could steal them all, haha
Dear Jane,

Love your shoe wall, I would die for it….
Well not really ofcourse, than I couldn’t wear them after all!

Wow, your shoe-collection is amazing! You´re such a lucky girl :)
bloody hell what a fantastic shoe collection.
you might find a ring that could interest u on:
http://www.monsieur-mode.blogspot.com
i love your photos, jane. more importantly, i love all your shoes <3
The only thing that keeps me from crying when I look at your shoe closet is if I laugh. I don’t know why this is, but if I didn’t I’m sure I’d be equipped with a padded room asap! These pictures are lovely, thanks for sharing!
(o:
i have your yellow margielas in black.. i love how the leather is so buttery soft!.. <3
anyway in awe of your shoe collection! absolutely magnificent!!!
x
I love your shoe wall! It is fantastic
oh god, i’m utterly in love with our amazing shoe wall ! just out of curiosity, how many pairs of shoes do you have? :o
The Comme des Garcons skeleton jacket is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Love it!
BS—
How nice that what you post is reflective of your name. =)
Furthermore, how are Anonymous and me “haters” (I absolutely loathe this word)? We haven’t made any rude or derogatory comments about Jane. We both admire this blog but at the same time find it troubling, hence our conflicting feelings. Also troubling is that some people feel the need to attack others who speak their minds and don’t resort to name calling or insults.
Blogs are supposed to be alternatives to boring mags like Vogue, truer to how people actually dress and in accordance with real life budgets, yet a number of them (including this one) are increasingly straying from this. If I want pure escapism, I’ll flip through some international edition of Vogue at a bookstore.
Personally, I’m more impressed when a blogger incorporates just one or two new pieces into her existing wardrobe and is creative enough to compose a bunch of new outfits rather than buying new items nearly every day. Camille from Childhood Flames does this extremely well. I love that she scrimps and saves to buy a pair of Dries shoes with babysitting money—you share her excitement at finally being able to make the purchase, you know she’ll love them and get so much use out of them.
If such thinking makes me a “hater,” so be it.
So cool to see that you’ve so many animal toys. I think that’s such a good inspiration source! And I would die for your shoe collection, I’ve been watching that photo for like 30 min. or something and I can’t get bored of it!
I love your shoes!!!!
saw my blog:

Dear shoe wall…thank you for blessing me with your amazing power and wisdom…i love thy…yours truly…Elizabeth
Your drawings are rather charming. But that shoe wall, wow. Just had a mini heart attack.
More shoe closet pictures, please! I love your collection of Japanese designer goods.
i of course love the shoe wall, can I possibly have those anne demeulemeester shoes? hehe ;) P.s i find it interesting you collect little animal creatures just like shoes haha, and I absolutely love that old wooden shelf with the creamo sign on it!
While the shoes themselves are amazing, I’d settle for having to space to have a wall dedicated to all my shoes!
Who takes all the beautiful pictures? love it!
Your shoe collection. OH MY GOD! Want all those shoes.
lvoe your shoes!

UR SHOE WALL IS LIKE SHOE PORN. AMAZING. SRRY ABOUT THE CAPS LOCK, THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY LAPTOP. HAVE A NICE DAY (:
Why do we always have to have someone preaching the credit crunch gospel? Would you really enjoy Vogue if it only featured highstreet? I certainly wouldn’t! I think most women are intelligent enough to know the difference between what they can and cannot afford. I personally enjoy Janes blog as I like to see how she interprets her designer pieces, which she obviously acknowledges how lucky she is to have. I have never heard anyone sing the praises so much of each designer and subsequent piece she shows in her posts.
Oh and about the economy, it would totally collapse if people stopped spending in their entirety!
I love your shoe wall! i am still trying to convince my parents to reconsturct my closet like so for my b-day! :D

Love your shoe wall..it actually looks more like a wall in a shoe shop to me…heavenly! Haha, I bet it’s aweseome browsing that shoewall everyday when choosing the right pair for an outfit. =)
I just counted the cost of the shoes in the picture and it’s upwards of $30,000 and that’s a fraction of her collection…
OH MY GOOOOOOD skeleton jacket, how fab :)
And that turtle necklace is the CUTEST ;)
Is that the ‘Regal necklace’ in gunmetal from Assad Mounser’s A/W 09 line? I WANT TO BUY IT, have to make sure it’s the right one!!!

Love Velveteen.

Dear Jane,
Your shoes are incredible.
I’ve been pondering the question as to why people love you so much as we all do. Is it because you wear things we would never dare to wear? Is it because we wish we were you? That we had your sense of style? I can’t figure it out. Does internet popularity translate to real world popularity? Obviously among the fashion world, but I want to know about the real people.
Love,
Brittany
you are really starting to bore me. just having expensive clothes and photos that are supposed to look like you are being shot by papparazi or something are not enough to impress me when there are lots of other bloggers with creativity and originality out there. your blog used to be so much better.
I would like to marry your shoe wall pretty pretty please !!
http://goodgirlsstudio.blogpspot.com
Really don’t want to come off like I’m hating b/c I really do enjoy this blog… it’s just that I bet your laughing right now b/c your outfits are so simple (like even though your backpack’s Balenciaga you might of as well paid a 10th of the price for a real leather non-designer one since it’s that basic).
Glad to see your doing so well even though I know and you obviously know too that if 8 out of 10 people walked past you on a street they wouldn’t look twice b/c you’re literally wearing a tank and black jeans -thank god for those daring shoes. You get 200+ comments for wearing a pair of shorts and a white top so you must be doing something right when it comes to this blog… so I can’t and won’t attempt to knock you.
I suppose your professional camera also helps…
I just can’t help but think this absurd. You and your family are clearly unmitigated millionaires. Your “favorite things” can be find in 3% of the closets in AMERICA; don’t you find that a bit disturbing? Isn’t it further disgusting that you constantly show off, boast and gain posterity for being wealthy? You might as well be Paris Hilton, yet another young rich girl famous for doing absolutely nothing. Shame on all of you who obsess over this girl and her blog.
bets that the last couple of comments all came from the same IP?
I am ridiculously jealous of your shoe closet. Only in the past year or so have I really gotten into shoes, so I’m just starting to get a good collection going.
FYI I mentioned you in my blog (really not a big deal, since it isn’t like I have anybody who even reads my blog yet…I just started it a few days ago), but I wanted to let you know anyways. If you have any tips on how to really get my blog going I would be unbelievably appreciative. I’m 16, so it’s helpful to hear from a girl close to my age who is already making a difference and an impact.
Love the dragon necklace! I’d love to get one for myself soon :)
You have an amazing collection of shoes! Wow! I’m so envious right now haha !
Great blog!!!
http://www.montreal-instyle.blogspot.com
See, Caroline and Anon (who BS claims to be sucking each others’ dick) are thoughtfully dissecting this blog, while Name Name and Mindy are just plain hating.
Don’t let the fact that most of her items cost thousands of dollars undermine Jane’s sense of style, there are people (well, C-list celebs and minor heiresses) with budgets roughly equal to Jane’s who have never displayed the same amount of taste and talent when it comes to fashion.
At the same time, the whole thing IS extravagant and there ARE more important and/or more altruistic things that can use that kind of money. I’m not “fronting about world poverty and shit” (as Gabrielle put it), I genuinely think it is a part of being a reasonable human with empathy and all to share, at least a little, when you have more than most, much much more than those who struggle to even survive. On the other hand, knowing how much people just love to attack other without any thought, they’d still accuse Jane of doing it only for show if she posted her more charitable efforts.
In the end it is her money and, therefore, her decision and I bet posting nasty comments anonymously won’t change her mind. And really, she’s not blogging to be a Role Model of Financial Responsibility for Fashion-conscious Young Women or whatever.
And to those who said blog readers can separate fantasy from reality — are you sure? You know there’s a lot of women that get into massive debts because they unthinkingly buy things they can never afford. But again, it’s their own responsibility and trying to shut down blogs/fashion magazines for “promoting irrational fashion spending” is as ridiculous as it sounds.
(By the way, what’s up with getting labeled a hater when you’re not posting gushing praises that noone reads anyway?)
Oh my goodness – the shoe wall alone is enough to swoon over. Some lovely things.. you have impeccable taste
wow I like the shoewall the best, and I love the gucci metallic platform shoes….
your favorite things are my favorite things. that’s all I have to say. oh ya, I’m also jealous of your shoe collection.

Jane! You have to know that I love you so much!
You’ve got a very original style, you’re so different in this world!
I love watching your things! That’s why I want to ask for something. Could you take some photos with your whole wardrobe? I want to see all these shoes and some other things! Think about it if you agree :)
Wish you luck with fashion!
I’m sure You’ll be a great fashion designer in the future!
Sorry for my bad english,

I love how quirky your room is…I want to live there!
Jane,
I’m relatively new to your blog, but I must admit it is one of my major obsessions. You are so creative and daring. Your outfits always have the contrast to acheive some twisted yet perfect balance. Like some of your other readers, I would love if you would photograph all the contents of your shoewall and tag each pair. (i.e. brand and style) I’d almost like a catalogue style of all your shoes. Thank you for sharing your creativity and fabulous wardrobe with a world that merely dreams of such luxury. Now we don’t have to dream, we can just read Sea of Shoes (:

Thank you so much for being a huge inspiration, even to us girls in Denmark!!
You really got a great sense, not only with shoes, but with colours and light and …. well thank you for doing this.
LOVE the shoe wall!
Mine is like a fourth of yours, and half of my shoes are stacked on the floor in the hall…
Love your little friends and of course your shoes x
Will you give us a tour of your room?! It looks so well organized and cute!
wow ur shoes collection is awesome!!, u make me jealous >.<

“creative and daring”, i agree with one of the posters here (BiadaBella).
1. open, white shoe wall: i believe this is THE best way to store shoes (unless your climate is dusty like mine!) having one’s wardrobe displayed in this manner is one of the keys to putting together an outfit.
2. the plastic dinosaurs are fun. these pics, and the little stuffed octopus, made me smile. i used to collect ceramic animals when i was your age…still have the collection stored somewhere…
3. the assad necklace is gorgeous, i LOVE it!
4. whiting & davis snake: that’s a fun label, so retro and almost old-lady-ish, in a good way.
sick shoe wall, the shoes are awesome! literally my college tuition on the wall, hahaha!! not hating though, just appreciating!! they’re all beautiful
The shoe wall is amazing, jealous! these are some of my favourite things too!

I love your Chanel booties! I must have those for fall….
your shoe wall is glorious!! love it.
This skeleton jacket and the shoes are to die for (especially your Loubs:) For me, your blog is the best. I know many people prefer more original ones a la stylebubble but i prefer your beautiful shots and much more wearable combinations. Yours is like my dream closet and that is all I care basically. I wish I had your budget, I mean I can afford one or two Loubs or Sergios myself here and there, but nothing compared to you:) Other than that, I see your pictures with Fowles and Nabokov and the dogs and your travels and I really appreciate that you are not one of those ignorant types who are only interested in fashion and nothing more. Really, it’s not everyday that we have a 17 year old fashion blogger posing with The Magus. Keep it up Jane:)
BS, your my hero! Mindy, name name, and Caroline all blow each other.
That shoes wall is the shit. Sorry, I just had to say it. Hahaha :]
FYI – I used your “Show Wall” as my desktop wallpaper.
Heavenly…
Wow, this post is wonderfully enchanting, and powerful.
First of all, I had no idea you were such a good sketcher, far better than my attempts at fashion sketching.
And secondly, a girl could fall in love with your show wall, as if of on a venture into Wonderland.
Thirdly, I love your style, it’s poignant, and based on individuality.
The Comme des Garcons skeleton dress is eclectic, magical even.
Your are a very lucky girl for having such a blessing of a closet. (:
xoxo, Nata.

Turtles are one of the most calm and cute animals in the world they don’t hurt anyone, so why do we have to hurt them.
I won’t react to the bizarre and strange comments that have appeared elsewhere about BIFA (some people should get out more!), but I will say that anyone interested in our group of supporters should get in touch. It should be a way for supporters to discuss issues in a reasoned way, but not be mistaken for yet another messageboard or rant line.
