I love this dress

Usually, when something seems to good to be true it isn’t, but occasionally, it actually is.
I saw an adorable little black Norma Kamali dress in this month’s O Magazine (maybe you saw it – it was the issue with Oprah on the cover. Ha – a little O Magazine humor.)  I investigated, and it said [...]

The music that was missing

I recently realized that something was missing from my life.
Music.
