  47. Dearest CC,

    Thanks so much for this post, but more importantly, the whole blog. The information is overwhelming, but in a good way. I just adore your eye for all the little details. Details are so important. As a side note, have you seen A. McQueen's Pre-Fall 09? I'm curious of your take on it. I fell head over heels, if you must know! ^_^
