This past weekend, I was pointed in the direction of an amazing fashion blog. It’s written by a witty, snarky girl with some bold fashion choices. Her name is Tavi and she lives in Chicago…but what you probably wouldn’t have guessed is she is only 12 years old.
Yup.

Her blog is Style Rookie. Check it out.

Err…. I dont know how I feel about it…. her style resembles Mary-Kate and Ashley too much. She’s 12 and shouldn’t dress like a hobo. No one should….

This 12-year-old makes me feel bad about my lack of fashion sense.
Damnit. I’m twice her age and she dresses better than I do!

You know, I went to check it out when I saw your Tweet and I can’t wrap my head around it. She doesn’t write like a 12 year old its weird. She is undoubtedly super adorable, quirky, spunky, but she thinks like a woman.
I was mature for my age but wow, she blows me out of the water.

I agree with Jossie. I read about four pages of her blog so far, and it is so strange to think of myself when I was her age. Shopping at Kids R Us still, perhaps?

Um, her writing shames me. She’s really witty for a 12 year old. I’m kind of meh about her fashion, she looks cute in it, but I definitely wouldn’t.
Love the photos though. whoever takes the pictures does a fabulous job.

Her fashion sense is way better than mine at 12. And 28.

How does a 12 year old get to be so freakin’ cool? seriously, I wish I had been that adventurous at that young of an age.

There is no way a 12 year old is writing like this unless she is secretly Gossip Girl.

guess hobo is in!
i’m so mixed on this hipster fashion writer and apparently rap queen.
i’d want to be her friend but would i be more of a big sister to her cause i’m double her age? hmm. probably not cause she’s dakota fanning mature, yikes. oh if only i was this cool at 12 though.

What the heckers? Twelve? I was still playing with my American Girl doll and wearing jean overalls with Winnie the Pooh embroidered on them when I was twelve.
Wait, did I just write that? That’s embarassing.

And I wonder if it really is, indeed, her blog. I can’t think of one twelve year old that advanced in any way. I think that I’m jaded, or something. Heehee.
