Very exciting – it’s going to be a wonderful weekend! And speaking of birthdays, we’ve [...]
My Closet: ‘like items’ grouped into boxes; clothes coordinated by color. You know, it’s really hard to save the world if you can’t even find your keys. And believe it or not, sometimes the ‘Socially Conscious’ part is a whole lot easier than the ‘Totally Fabulous’ side of things. But just like I didn’t always [...]
