Diary of Natalie Rose

Quite a while ago I made a skirt that was inspired by my favorite magazine. LARME magazine, founded in 2012, aims to be a “sweet and cute picture book” for young women and teens. LARME magazine gained notoriety for being the pioneer of its own unique style. While the magazine does follow trends, it combines elements of many different styles to achieve the overall vibe of “dolly sweetheart” in its photos. The substyle that was birthed from this magazine, which is literally just called Larme, has no specific rules. Thus “Larme'' is a very loose term. However I did notice one detail that was common in Larme photos. That being sheer/tulle fabric. When I decided to make a garment inspired by the magazine I knew the design had to incorporate tulle. I made a digital college (I lost it) of outfits from the magazine that inspired me. After completing my college I noticed that many skirts featured in the magazine incorporated a layer of tulle that extended past the fabric it was layered

They came to chat with you about how the pursuit of their passions was going, and, obviously, to buy clothes that will aid them in pursuing their current goal. I wish this was my life. I would love to have the ability to purchase clothes directly from my favorite brands once a week. I’d love to run my own boutique too. Unfortunately, in real life buying quality stylish clothes once a week is expensive, and would also become wasteful at some point. Rather than shop, I’ve decided to play boutique manager today, and recommend fifteen of my favorite feminine pieces that I’ve come across recently. These are in no specific order, as I don’t own anything on this list. “Ribbon Off Shoulder Knit Top” from Michell Macaron This top comes in red and white. I personally favor the white because it can be styled successfully with more d
