  2. Hi

    I've just found your blog - we used to chat a bit on MUA about being pale and Besame/Julie Hewett cosmetics.

    You look fabulous here - I love the colours, the shapes, everything is just perfect. I'm so glad to have found your blog.

  10. So absolutely fantastic! I adore red pants and am always looking for ways to make them seem less 60s/70s and more vintage. This pair excels at that, they look so wonderfully 40s!

    Wishing you a beautiful Monday & week ahead, sweetie!
    ♥ Jessica
