This is an excellent blog. I am surprised at how these students have such an insight on fashion. Being a fashion designer myself, I agree with all of the points that this blog makes. Well done students and I am very impressed with this blog. I hope that everyone follows the vital information that this blog gives on how to stay in style.

yeah i read about this site in ASOS too.
why no UK reporters?
The UK is where it’s at!
I saw your blog featured in Asos magazine and had to check it out – it’s AMAZING! I’m wanting to start my own fashion blog and you’ve given me great inspiration! Keep up the good blogging
Dear Brains+Beauty,
Well done on this blog. I particularly like the reference to the importance of excellence in algebra!

Hii!
I also saw your feature in the ‘stella’ magazine and just had to look at your blog
its put together soo well and all the points made are soo true!
I attend an all girls grammer school in England so I know that just cause you have intelligence doesn’t mean the stereotypes have to come with it!
Now that I am in the 6th form year of my school, we dont have to wear our uniform (hurray!) I use it to my full advantage. Me and my friends swap and borrow each others clothes and accessories to double our wardrobe size, haha
I love fashion and photography…especially the shopping part.
If you need any UK brains and beauty editors, photographers…or just help, send me an email.
thanks,

I can’t believe you are the same age as me and have a website. Also you are very well spoken, have an excellent fashion know-how and 3 years ago you couldn’t speak english. I saw the article in Stella and thought you were amazing. Your blog has really helped me and I am forever grateful. You are such an inspiration. Who are your favourite designers? Mine are Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Westwood. If you need anyone to help you please email me. Grace, 14
Loved the site (L) and an amazing fashionista format……. however I think considering that your target audience is teenage fashion nerds – me myself being one, some of the styles and clothing featured should be a little more highstreet and affordable
Keep up the good work
Much lovees.. P
forgot to add…….. stunning job on the Last minute party wear feature…you go girl!
This is a fab site and i am a fashion nerd for sure though I agree with phoebe the clothes featured sould be a little more affordable but I still love the site
Forgot to add that your feauture in the stella mag was fab
heey gurls
well I can just say respect!
it’s really good.
I wanna do my own blog since a while.. but if it comes to an idea for the name.. haha I am just pointless. XD
well any ideas are welcome and if they are good u will see my own blog asap. btw I’m 15 and I’m sorry for my bad English.
see u soon in fashion world.

Hey!
I’m only just getting into fashion but out of all the sites I’ve looked at this one is definately my favourite. Noa you are extreemly inspiring; how do you keep up with it all? I also agree that the clothes feautured should be more affordable – it’s just heart breaking to see all these fabulous clothes, knowing I could never afford them!
But good job girl!
If you need any help email me,
