I’ve been to her website and all her bags are gorgeous! SO much talent!
Very lovely and fashionable girl and pretty you are have work as module before?
I can totally relate to her regarding facing an obstacle in life. I have also had that moment when almost everyone doubted me and but also wanted to see me crawl, but I stood my ground and soon showed them that what they did actually inspired me to do better and be better.
That’s a beautiful quote that she chose. Thanks for sharing her story!
Ahhhh… she’s got a chihuahua.. means she’s a loving owner, too. I like her!
I also use jojoba oil for my hair. Thanks for sharing this, I’m learning a lot about her and her fashion sense because of your blog. so grateful!
She’s beautiful and talented and witty. I like good shoes and good food, too. These should always come together, doncha think?
