    I'm so in love with ruffles... but not to the extreme of Charles Anastase's white dress I must say :) I'd rather love more Valentino like. lol.
    have a beautiful weekend, darling CC! xo

    I'm a fan of ruffles - especially on that Dior outfit. I just wish they didn't look so ridiculous on my curvy figure, hah.
    Oh that's so cool that you're 5'10" as well haha! It's a nice height, I think. :)
