WEDDING BELLE

July 11 2012

  It’s hard to let go of some things that are very meaningful to you especially if that ‘thing’ is your wedding dress.  I’ve been married for only four months and one day my husband suggested that I sell my wedding dress, I flatly said “No, that dress has sentimental value to me” and always [...]

MADE TO FIT

July 10 2012

I always make it a point to get myself a one-of-a-kind present whenever I travel.
