  12. Cute posts! I'm kinda on the fence with this trend, sometimes it looks great, and other times it's a bit too girl for me. Maybe it'd appeal more to me if paired with some A. Wang ripped leggings? LOL

  20. I think I sometimes avoid looking at Anna Sui, just because everything always makes me feel such ridiculous, consistent urgency to have and wear IMMEDIATELY. That flouncy frock is a perfect example.

    ReplyDelete
