How to make all heels comfortable
Shoes are fabulous – even if they’re not always comfortable – Kimora We all know I have an affinity for shoes. I love how they can transform an outfit, make a statement, and that they always fit.

Lust list
I am on a dire quest for a messenger style satchel, and the urban decay naked palette. Consider them both mine if I ever find them. I am also lusting for a trapper hat that Florida’s weather will not permit, so that most likely won’t happen. Speaking of the UD Naked palette, I had made up [...]
