If it hadn't been for the rise of the working woman's wardrobe, I never would have found the time to sneak a kid in.
hate dresses levels
I hate to say it, but the truth is that the upscale line is where I get respect as a designer. The higher the price range, the higher the respect level from the industry, even though it's much easier to make a great $500 dress than a great $100 dress.

I'm not the type of person who dwells too much on bad things.

There is an excitement about having nightmares.

fashion home light
