SIX MONTHS [NO HEELS]

via

Well hello strangers!

Long time no update?

Seriously! We know!

How've you been? Did Santa bring you all you hoped and wished for? Was your New Years magical and filled with fireworks, friends sequins and champagne? 

We hope so.

So much has been going on since we've last posted!

My neglect towards the blog actually has a valid excuse... 

which I like to hashtag as #strandedwithabrokenfoot (check it, it's on @instagram) 

I spent half of November and all of December posted up on a couch, 

and sometimes in a wheelchair, with a broken foot, stranded, back home in New York.

Gone are the days of The Devil Wears Prada. The days when a single viewing of this spectacular movie showed us girls that there was a world full of glamour, light, and sparkle. But, also a world full of back-stabbing and ambition. Anne Hathaway, with her innocent brown eyes and big full-hearted smile couldn't have been the more perfect person to play the role. Her style, equally #stunning.

:: BE POLITE ::

 

We're avid believers in being polite and minding our manners. After-all  we did meet in the South, ya'll! 

How are you embracing the cooler months and autumnal colours? // Layers? New lipstick? 

We've been indulging in lipstick and handbags... the easiest fall updates there are!
