Highfalutin fashion

Top: h&m. Flower legs: h&m. Shoes: Isabel Marant

At this point, you may be wondering why a girl showing the scuffed bottoms of her favorite shoes with an almost unsettling amount of furrow in her brow is staring at you from your screen. The girl in question, whose name happens to be Chandler Mills, is the Raleigh-born and Raleigh-residing creator of the blog you are currently reading. And yes, she likes to wear fashionable outfits and take photos in ironic locations to show the juxtaposition of her pain that stems from being a true style maven born in the slow, slow, streets of North Carolina. 

Ok, so I'll stop talking about myself in the third person, it's a bit weird. But that was totally fun. Anyway, the main point being, from the time I was a little girl sewing clothes in my Nana's haunted sewing room, I loved fashion. I didn't even realize how much I loved fashion until I was older and began to notice that the other girls didn't seem to be understanding fashion. And not until I was even older than that I realized they didn't understand, nor did they see or feel the need to. Around this same time is when I realized my true calling in life... fashion. You totally didn't see that coming did you?

Growing up in Raleigh, North Carolina, I felt about as close to the contents of glossy fashion magazine pages as I did the North Pole. Which brings us to the point of this blog; finding the contents of those glossy magazine pages in my very own little city, and more importantly, meeting the muses behind it all. Whether you live in North Carolina, New York, or North Dakota, I hope  you can find inspiration in these soon-to-be-documented chance encounters.
