Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Sarah’s bloom skirt I’m surprised by how much I love this dress, this whole look. The more I look at it, the more I love it. It’s so cute. It’s so pretty.

If you’re too young to know, oh you just wait, because one day, all of a sudden your foot will reject anything that is uncomfortable. It’s like after years of concubine-ing them By Sasha • Oct 12, 2018 02:10 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Cara Delevingne's Outfit of the Week at the Royal Wedding As I’ve mentioned, I typically don’t include models in fashion posts – especially not at the Met Gala – because, well, it’s not that hard, you know?
