Style Rookie meets the Mad Hatter

This photo brings me endless joy, featuring Tavi and John Galliano after the Dior show. This is the type of world I want to live in, where a teen fashion blogger gets front row at the Paris couture shows and has a tet'a te with the grand master himself. I've been following Tavi for a few years now, and am so happy that she's been fulfilling her dreams and making serious waves in the fashion world. It's amusing to watch established editors get all riled up because of a young upstart with a distinct voice and simple platform (blogger) to share it. Reading her blog this last year has felt somewhat like a movie script, and I doubt it will take long for Hollywood to take notice and make that happen. Here's my casting vote--Amy Sedaris to play Tavi.

Genius

work by the great Alvin Lustig. Some inspiration as I finish up the Salt & Time ID system this week. Have you visited Ben the Butcher lately? He's got a lot of goods curing, getting ready for spring. You can be his fan on facebook.

Hint, hint, Ben
