It Feels Right !
How Does one decide things? You get up in the morning, open your cupboard and think ” Hmm ! This is what I’ll wear today. ” A look is chosen. You go shopping, search for something for days, months even and then see something that seems perfect in your budget and think ” That’s what I want. ” A thing…
Sprinkled around !

Now don’t go imagining one of those girly girls who is never willing to…
