DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE:Eclectic yet sophisticated. Right now, I am loving patterned dresses.

ReplyDeleteI love the first glasses. I am pretty sick of mine alr..

ReplyDeleteHey CC! Always enjoy reading your tags.. very cool that you're also a Pilates instructor. Enrolling in a Pilates class is near the top of my 'to do' list. LOVE those statement glasses and the blue asymmetrical dress! And I'm with you that if I won some dough tomorrow, it would def. go towards anything Balmain!
ReplyDeletexo, Becs
This is one of the best answers yet - I totally love that you are doing what you love and that it trumps having lots of money. Also I totally agree with this statement: Wearing something that makes one uncomfortable (psychologically, not physically).
ReplyDeleteOooh, who is that last dress by? I would feel psychologically sound in that dress and worthy of sitting for a portrait by gorgeous Fifi.
