  7. That is such a great idea! I should suggest that to my local news station; some people in the area really could use these suggestions. Great finds.

    I really love your top as well!

  8. I love Rachel's outfit... Is it inappropriate that I feel like I would totally wear that?! :) And I love that you put Moira in wedges. Never to early to start! But my favourite part is your leopard print pants. You would think a print like that would be so hard to wear but in the grey, it seems subtle and way more wearable. Great job!
