i came across a new blog today . its really rather cute . Im not a big fan of blogs that just take photos of peoples outfits and themselves only . I find it rather dull . And it seems everyone is doing it and all i think of is big corporate companies tuning in and ripping off ,then everyone looks the same . But i found this blog and its the only one that changed my mind.She is super cute and her outfits are super sweet . You can find it here.

you can also vote for her blog here too in the dazed blogs awards …but if your feeling trigger happy with your finger vote for disneyrollergirl too . shes always worth a visit when you have acuppa at the computer x
