I have been in love with fashion for many years even though I'm only eleven. My dad has a blog, IdeasandThoughts.org, and my mom too, bobbysocksqc.com. But anyways this is about fashion. Some of my favourite designers are Marc Jacobs, Chloe, Stella Mccartney, Betsy Johnson, and Nanette Lepore. I know it's a little weird that an eleven year old will be talking about fashion but I truly love it! Please leave free to post comments!<br />
