The Best Fashion Advice, Ever.
Ahh, the LBD. The garment so loved by all women, it has its own initialism. Even despite its ridiculous popularity, there’s so much criticism surrounding it!

Fall Into Autumn
I don’t know about your Facebook feed, but mine is alive with dreams of colored leaves, pumpkin lattes and apple picking. Seems safe to say that everyone is (im)patiently awaiting autumn to arrive.
