In third grade I picked up Vogue for the first time. Ever since then fashion has been my life. People can make fun of my skirts made of feathers, my seven inch platforms and my puffy sweaters, but it will never make me love fashion any less. Today, I write the fashion column for my high school newspaper. Tomorrow, I will write a fashion column for Elle.Tumblr (3.0; @fashionmirage)http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m53vv4NEfq1qzcl51o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Housing Works is a charitable book store on the Lower East Side.</p>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/24413738367http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/24413738367Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:40:16 -0400<p>I started <a href="http://morganinthemaking.tumblr.com" title="Morgan in the Making" target="_blank">Morgan in the Making</a> because I wanted to get into ELLE magazine (it worked!), but so far it has gotten me much further.

He is the Creative Director of ELLE magazine, and my ultimate role model in life. He then replied and invited me and one of my best friends up to tour the magazine. It was one of the best days of my life.</strong></p>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/8909712075http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/8909712075Sun, 14 Aug 2011 11:57:00 -0400fashiongpoyjoe zeerapelleelle magazine<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp5tjz32dG1qztnveo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/8265330902http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/8265330902Sat, 30 Jul 2011 14:49:45 -0400<p>Thank you! Usually it’s the latest trends or things that high school girls who aren’t interested in fashion could relate to. I’m aiming to make it a little more high fashion this year.</p>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/7819098070http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/7819098070Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:34:13 -0400http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/6599765204http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/6599765204Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:54:08 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmj213jH2Z1qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/6353730619http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/6353730619Thu, 09 Jun 2011 10:39:04 -0400marc jacobsfashion<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmj1x5jW7y1qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/6353687969http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/6353687969Thu, 09 Jun 2011 10:36:41 -0400emma watsonfashion<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmj1qzYXxv1qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/6353618437http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/6353618437Thu, 09 Jun 2011 10:32:59 -0400karolinaKarolina Kurkovafashionalexander wangmodels<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmj1p3kv4j1qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/6353597567http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/6353597567Thu, 09 Jun 2011 10:31:52 -0400interview magzineinterviewashley smithfashionmodels<p>My schedule went like this: -Drive 5 hours to Savannah, Georgia from Greensboro, North Carolina. -Put on my black sequin dress, red blouse, Loeffler Randall for Target flats, and a big necklace. -Go to the 4:00 SCAD senior fashion show because the 8:00 was sold out. -Sneak backstage where I introduced myself to Jay Alexander, ANTM judge and runway coach. -Talked to the SCAD president about his great speech. -Introduced myself to fashion designer Chris Benz, took pictures. -Went vintage shopping where I bought and necklace, two belts, a notebook and some pencils. -Noticed Mickey Boardman and my idol Joe Zee tweeted they were there -Sprinted back to theatre. -Met Creative Director of ELLE, Joe Zee.

I’ve worn contacts everyday since I was eight, and it’s gotten to a point where I fell grimy and undressed without them. I would love to be able to wear my glasses because they are Dolce & Gabbana, but I just can’t do it. Awesome question! </p>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5398763013http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5398763013Wed, 11 May 2011 16:35:00 -0400http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5370906117http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5370906117Tue, 10 May 2011 17:50:49 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkvyjlAjnU1qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5308024635http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5308024635Sun, 08 May 2011 12:45:21 -0400chanelfashion<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lktzu0m5iD1qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5274015319http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5274015319Sat, 07 May 2011 11:18:00 -0400christopher kanetopshoptommy tonjak and jilchristopher kane for topshopfashion<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lktzrruhbN1qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5273982382http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5273982382Sat, 07 May 2011 11:16:39 -0400fridafrida gusstavankarlieKarlie Klossfashionmodelmax vadakulhermes<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lktzo5Sp8d1qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5273928216http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5273928216Sat, 07 May 2011 11:14:29 -0400ellen von unwerthemma watson<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lktzjeoNt81qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5273857436http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5273857436Sat, 07 May 2011 11:11:00 -0400british voguevoguevogue magazinevogue uknick knight<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lktzhbt3eP1qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5273827281http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5273827281Sat, 07 May 2011 11:10:23 -0400Raquel Zimmermanfashionmodels<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lktz7hhajA1qzcl51o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5273683121http://fashionmirage.tumblr.com/post/5273683121Sat, 07 May 2011 11:04:29 -0400ww magazinekarlie klossfashionmodels
