blogs we love.... Brighton Style Memos

The first blog EVER to be featured on This Grown Up Girl is a blog by a friend in Brighton, England where Ami lived for two years. Alexis Foreman has an edgy style, mixing modern shapes and silhouettes with key vintage items and floaty feminine fabrics. How she gets it ridiculously right every time, we still do not know. One thing that we truly appreciate about Alexis is that she is a great example of how to bring ambitious runway looks to the street. If you are ladies like us, you love to keep up with what's happening in the land of new designers and shows but struggle to translate the fashion into everyday style. We hope you enjoy her blog as much as we do: http://brightonstylememos.blogspot.com/

on a rainy day....

This is what we want:

it's a pleasure to meet you....

We thought it would be a little random if we didn't introduce ourselves properly (we are ladies with impeccable manners).
