  13. The Greek goddess look is something I wish I could channel and don all year long. It seems to sit well with me and my personal style preferences best! :)

    What is it about white chocolate that is so incredibly delicious? I am a chocolate fanatic, but white chocolate has this sort of je ne sais quoi?... It's just so good. ♥

    Thanks, I had a fun time with the "diy" project on my jeans.

  38. The ones that goes like flair I feel they are hard to wear fine, they can be really unflattering if you are not a tall skinny person.

    But the ones wich embrasse the natural curves are some of my favorites models, love them!
