two of my favorite things: wine (preferably red) and fabulous dresses.

LOVE this post...great pics, love the models drinking the beer...that's probably their calories for the day! Those dresses are beautiful...love the metallics.
I have to admit that your blog always makes me want to blog even more... I usually wait until I write a post before reading it because that way, it gives me something exciting to do afterwards.
