Lots and lots of sales. Labor Day Sale shopping might be on your radar this weekend. So I thought I'd be your personal shopper and share … [Read more...]
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: #NSALE

Fashion Trend: Rompers and Gladiators

Today, I've … [Read more...]

From that moment on she become one of my most favorite designers. Not long after that, watching The Apprentice on tv, I shouted out, "OMG! THAT CONDO! … [Read more...]
