Lily Lemontree

Something that I enjoy doing in my little boudoir is visiting other blogs. One that I came across today is called Lily Lemontree. The header alone is enough to draw you in… What’s even better is that she has a contest going through March 2nd where you can win Coco Before Chanel on DVD (which …

Since I’m guessing that most of you (including me) didn’t have the opportunity to attend Naomi Campbell’s Fashion for Relief fashion show that I posted pre-sale ticket information for back on February 5th (followed by an update the same day), I wanted to share a video clip from the show. I would have loved to …
