Until I can slow down on my ‘roughhousing’, I only wear it when I’m going out…but still equally in love with it. It’s no longer available
One of my new favorite online magazines is Net-a-Porter‘s ~ it gives great tidbits and snippets from culture to fashion to beauty to trends…all with a stylish focus, and always give you something to salivate over until the next issue.
