Polly told me that the inspiration for this look […]

Fashion Week & Beauty Bloggers & Video Oh My!

I feel like it’s Christmas around here–I’m frantically shopping last minute to find some clothes (but my new Anne Klein shoes are the best!), making my list of things to get done before I go and checking it twice! Only a few days left until I leave for NYC and get to hang out with […]
