Jealousy isn't becoming...

This is beyond unfair in my book. I was doing some research on fashion blogs and bloggers and stumbled on this story from June of 2009. Yes, it's dated, but I still thought it was interesting. Apparently this girl, Jane Aldridge who was 17 at the time was really into blogging about fashion for the site "Sea for Shoes"-- she claimed her name to fame as she was asked by Urban Outfitters to team up with them and develop a new line of shoes. I had no idea about this! And I hate to say it, but I wish I had never found out. It may not be every girls dream, but it is definitely mine. Who wouldn't want to do work with a huge fashion company like Urban.

DREAM LIFE.

THEN, as Dr. Akhavan mentioned, I found an article on the most fashionable 14 year old I have ever seen. Meet her, Tavi Gevinson:

 GET OUT OF HERE.

She is amazing, and she is one of the most well known fashion bloggers to date! But seriously, look at her- better style than me! I just watched an 8-minute video of her at Fashion Week and I can't handle it. She is divine. It is weird to think that a 14 year old girl can make it in the blogging world, maybe in a few years if I keep up I could be her! Ridiculous.

Check out this little clip of her, it's amazing. She has tremendous talent....but is still a little girl, even though she doesn't sound like one!!

The World of New Media - Dependency

The more and more I think about new media in my life the more and more I think about dependency. In society today I believe that we rely on technologies like computers, phones, ipods, and even email way too much, but these ideas are now infused in the way we live. Can you imagine you life without them?

Computers have become the most important new media in my life. It is something I am on everyday because it gives access to everything, it holds my entire existence! Every assignment I have ever done is on my laptop because nothing is hand written anymore. Without my computer I feel like I would be completely lost, that's pretty sad. I was recently at work and I was talking to my boss about this idea of dependancy and she was telling me about her experience in college and how she had to look everything up on her own, there was no quick fix like Google. Honestly, I don't know what I would do without the internet today- it has saved me numerous times! Life has become to easy, not that people don't work hard anymore but in my opinion, a lot of people have become lazy. Have you become dependent??
