Grace's blog symbolizes her misunderstanding of beauty. She is, perhaps, the ultimate millennial. She has a style blog in the years before Instagram makes visual blogging a mainstream part of the culture, and she lives through this blog. For her, arranging things into a single moment, a unified image of stylistic perfection is the height of beauty. The blog symbolizes her lack of engagement with the world. Sheltered and pampered, it is not until Grace is at the end of the road that she realizes that beauty exists outside of the careful arrangement in her blog.
