It was a no-brainer to me to accept the offer to join friends Saasha Burns and Sam Leetham, for the launch of their latest…
It was my goal .. I must admit to wear more dresses. It’s no wonder that you hadn’t seen me in anything this ladylike for a long while when a recent rustle through my repository could uncover no more than the aforementioned. Don’t get me wrong I love a good gown as much as the next girl, but when…
