Tea Party: The Fashion
You may recall that I issued a challenge to my friends: You must dress up. Using your existing wardrobe, create an outfit that expresses YOUR interpretation of “tea party”. I was stoked to see what all my friends came up with! A lot of them were panicking about what to wear but I wasn’t concerned.…

Nooo!
My heart is breaking! I just found out that the Monif C bathing suit that I was dying to get has been sold out and they’re not making any more! I even went so far as to call New York to see if I could get one… I can’t believe it! I finally made the…
