Closet Makeover
Mmmm, online holiday shopping. Nothing more fun than mingling with kindred spirits (especially when you can’t see them), in single-minded pursuit of the perfect thing

Girl, you are fortunate. Incredibly, undeniably, downright fortunate. Because you’ve been blessed with some of the best gifts in the world.

2007. Oh, what a year it was. Time to kick-back, prop your heels ever so smartly on your desk, clasp your hands confidently behind your head, and reflect... So many successes... So many accomplishments...
