First post

I'll just say it bluntly.

I love fashion.

It's my life. Without it, I just couldn't function. Fashion is what keeps me sane. I am addicted to fashion blogging (seriously, I go to like 20 sites a day) and considering I want to be a fashion journalist, I might as well try my hand at it. Tell me what you think. Comment. Give me feedback. As long as there's one person out there interested in this blog I'll be inspired enough to keep writing.

First let me tell you a little bit about me.

My name is Leah and I live in, of all places, Juneau, Alaska. No, we do not live in igloos or ride polar bears to school. Nor is there any form of fashion anything here. There are one or two tiny boutiques that are halfway decent here but besides that, online shopping is the way to go. That's the problem with this town. It is very difficult to be a fashion-savvy dresser when there is nowhere to shop. I want to scream at my wardrobe every morning because of the frustration of it. It doesn't help that most of the people in this town still have the old-fashioned point of view that a career in fashion is a frivoulous and shady one. But enough with the complaints. As soon as I graduate, I'm moving to New York and applying to FIT.

I have big dreams.

I know.
