Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved dressing up. My family’s proclivity for cruise holidays meant that I became acquainted with dressing up and fancier dresses very young, and since I was a complete poser I absolutely loved…
I’ve always said that being a child in a single parent family never really affected me. I’ve turned out pretty well, all things considered. While I think the trope of the troubled child of a broken marriage is a load…
Now, I’m not about to claim that I’m some serious style maven, but I do like to keep my finger on fashion’s figurative pulse (I’m also fond of fricatives) and now that we’re over halfway through February we can definitely…
