New Arrivals Week of January 31st 2023

It's the last day of January! Final hours to get your orders in before Frugal February begins. Get it out of your system now. 😆 This was an interesting upload. Lots of new items in Velvet Dust which I approve of. Lots of new in different shades of blue. The  Always Effortless Trench  looks awesome, but sadly it will be too overwhelming for us petites.

Frugal February Challenge, Fit Requests, and My Growing Wish!

  I can't believe February is right around the corner. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know I'll be participating in Frugal February.

It will be more of a challenge with a coat or jacket which is something to keep in mind.  Numéro Neuf Mini Blush Dimensions - 9" (L) x 5.25" (H)  x 5.5" (W) Polène uses full-grain textured calf leather for most of their ba
