Finding Nirvana 10/16/2009
 I was sitting in my Social Studies watching the endless rain hit the school room window and tugging at my uniform sweater to cover my frozen hands, just wishing that I had a scarf and gloves. My classmates continued to murmur on about the dance happening tonight – which oddly enough I wasn’t all too interested in, wearing mini skirts and tee shirts at night in 45 degree weather isn’t exactly my forte. All I was interested in wearing was a blanket or two, long gauzy skirts, and thick Santa Fe sweaters, but I knew no one ever wears that. Then I thought again people actually did wear that – in the 90’s.  And that reminded me of a lush spread featuring these clothing items I longed for, from Teen Vogue, that arrived not but two days ago. Once I got home, I ran up the stairs nearly slipping in the process, to where my sacred barely opened magazine lay. Moments later I found the spread; and here it is.  Isn’t there something crazily gorgeous and simplistic about these photos? And my goodness how that light shines in the previous photo makes the models look almost godly. Now I am on a hunt to find the Navaho sweaters my mum brought back years ago from Santa Fe (that she now thinks are ghastly) similar looking to this Stella McCartney sweater, some plaid that manages not to look pre-teen cheesy (especially not in pink or any other revolting plaid colour), and a pair of black Doc Martens (that I have been begging my parents to let me get a pair for ages). However, you will have to wish me luck with my mum, when she heard me listening to Nirvana she nearly had a heart attack. As it is customary, I will now also wish you luck in finding your fashion Nirvana. Have a nice evening hearing the rain on the roofs!  CommentsViola Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:16:59 1st to comment!!!!!!!

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:40:37 She freaked out when you were listening to Nirvana, they aren't even that "bad" just a little on the depressing side. So what, every teenager is. Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:41:47 Its 45 degrees, darling go get some of this grunge comfy clothing on, i refuse to let you freeze! Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:42:47 Teen Vohue is impressing me much these days, I think I might even need to get a subscription even though I'm no longer a teen, eek! Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:43:30 I spelled Vogue wrong, oh dear how sad and I'm 28 now I should be able to spell and type! Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:45:42 Man it's raining everywhere, i will be hearing it on my rooftop tonight! Have fun at your dance don't get too cold! ANONYMOUS Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:05:37 utterly genuis. Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:25:44 Having been a young teen during the first wave of grunge, I still hold the look in a special place in my heart. Fri, 16 Oct 2009 19:49:53 YES! I saw this spread yesterday. I think that today's teens dress awfully. (I hope I don't sound prestigious, seeing that I, too, am a teen.) But really! I love the 90s. Great post. Did you go to your dance? Hope you had fun, if so! Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:29:49 I too am looking for non-cheesy plaid! I saw a pink and orange plaid shirt today that was quite sad...pink + orange + plaid = unattractive shirt. Sat, 17 Oct 2009 08:31:30 What a gorgeous, well-written post, darling! Love these pics! Sat, 17 Oct 2009 08:52:26 I could not egree more. The simplicity and sheer innocence of these photographs is what I find so enchanting - it's all very effortless and organic in terms of poses, which makes the entire editorial seem real. :) Ulli Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:15:42 I hate cheesy pink plaid, uhg ew! Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:53:07 I'm not sure whether grunge is just flattering on pin sized people like you or also larger girls? Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:53:43 i love all photos. Sat, 17 Oct 2009 18:59:22 I got this magazine this week too, and I die for grunge. You should totally get Docs! I'm in the process of convincing my parents as well ;) In the mean time, cozy knits and plaids will have to suffice. LOVE your blog! Nicola Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:19:19 I need a pair of docs lost mine a few years ago :( Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:20:32 90's + me = not a good look, but good luck on finding your fashion nirvana! Lucy Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:22:52 You have a great blog honey keep it up! Anonymous Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:24:33 Romatic teenagers how sweet!

And i highly recommend you to buy some gloves and a scarf because i dont want you to get sick! sniffles and red noses make any day worse Sun, 18 Oct 2009 02:20:59 I absolutely love these pictures, they've made me realize I need a flannel skirt!! Sun, 18 Oct 2009 06:09:00 Hey there. I hope this finds you doing well. I also hope you've had a great weekend so far. Take care. Have a nice week. Cheers! Sun, 18 Oct 2009 09:41:38 this spread was amazing. the first 2 looks were my favorites. i'm sorry i don't have any advice on the bootie issue. mine were vintage. most of the ones i find online are pretty expensive. good luck looking for some.
