Tagalicious

Okay, so I've been tagged by Six O'clock Style to share 7 random facts about myself:

1) Just in case you couldn't tell from the photos, I'm kinda young compared to most other fashion bloggers. I'll just get it out there - I'm 17. Almost 18, though. I'm really grateful to all the other fashion bloggers for treating me so nicely/respectfully even though I'm so much younger. Having a blog is a great experience for a girl my age, and such good practice for someone who might want a career involving writing and/or fashion.

2) I'm a twin. I have a twin brother, and for some reason everyone always asks me if we're identical even after they know we are different genders. No, we are not identical. That would make him quite feminine. Ha. If you're curious enough to gaze upon our twindom (hmm...I'm kinda liking that word I just made up), then you can see a picture of us together here. I also have a little sister, but I suppose that isn't as unique.

3) I have other interests besides fashion and blogging (gasp!). I'm an obsessive and fast reader, and I read several books per week even when I'm busy. I love to bake/cook, and my favorite thing to bake is chocolate cakes. Mostly because eating them is so fun! I also like to act, although I haven't been in very many plays. My favorite play I did was A Midsummer Night's Dream. I was a hobogoblin and didn't have any lines, but it was great anyway. There's a photo of me and my fellow hobogoblins here if you're curious. The concept was that the play took place in modern day Central Park, so we were supposed to be able to be mistaken for a motorcycle gang if seen at night in Central Park.

4) I went to Israel last summer, and it was the greatest experience of my life. I went on a trip with a group of Jewish American and Israeli teens, and we spent three weeks in Israel and 3 weeks in the US. I made so many great friends, and I had some intense and fun experiences. I actually was in Haifa when rockets fell on it, so I had the crazy, scary experience of evacuating to Jerusalem.

5) I'm running out of things to say. Apparently I'm not as creative as I thought.

6) I have a goal of traveling the world. My cousin and I are planning to travel around Europe together when we're older, because our moms did it and we want to make it a family tradition. I am so psyched! Hopefully the dollar will be stronger by then, because I am so stocking up on Topshop clothing when I'm in the UK.

7) I actually started this blog as a place for me to write down the shopping websites and things I found so that I wouldn't forget them. So the blog was just for me. But I started reading more and more fashion blogs, and eventually it became clear that I really wanted one of my own, so I sort of morphed this blog into a fashion blog and set about getting readers. That's why my earliest posts are totally different than my more recent ones.

I hope that wasn't too boring for you all. I'm going to tag all of you, because most bloggers I can think of have been tagged already. Go forth and be tagalicious!

Well okay, I guess it wasn't your twin modeling for UO after all then... ;)

You are not the only one who's age is diverse from other fashion bloggers: at 43, I am older than most. ;)

And I could be your mom. I actually have a daughter who will be 18 in September.
