While I openly admit that I am powerless over my addiction to jewelry and that my accessories have become unmanageable (Step One), I cannot seem to stop collecting sparkly things.

Is Peek-a-Boo Tucking a Do?

A Girl’s Gotta Get Her Kicks
A girl’s gotta get her kicks, doesn’t she? I often get mine window shopping ~ in my jammies, sprawled across the couch and via MacBook.
