I was asked to review some jeans from Maurices.com. I had never heard of this company before, so I did some quick research and decided to say yes. Maurices is online, and they have physical stores in different cities around the country. They are a woman’s clothing store that sells plus and straight sizes. Maurices [...]

I love Rupert Sanderson shoes, and I love Florence + The Machine. Rupert Sanderson has some pretty awesome shoes. I hope to own a pair some day. Florence + The Machine makes some amazing music. The ruby red haired singer is pretty big in the UK, but they sell her cd on the US iTunes [...]

Bodyamr presented some amazing Grecian inspired clothes with wonderful draping. Hakaan showed excellent, architectural, and very short dresses that are great for the girl who wants to [...]
