What I’m Loving Now…

It’s fall, and for me that is a difficult time of year! It’s getting cooler, but it’s still not cold enough to wear a winter coat. I have a few fall coats such as a trench coat and a rain coat, but I often don’t want to wear them. If you feel the same way, […]

Wedding season is certainly here! If you work in the wedding business, you are probably already booking appointments, looking at current trends and helping friends shop for dresses.
