I have written about this subject before, so if you are an avid reader, I hereby apologize for repeating myself. I learned something new a few years back when I opened the clothing store: there are people who will not wear shorts.

As you all know, I love bags. They are the only item I think one should never really part with unless it is just completely worn out. So when it comes to picking out bags for the store, I often find my orders a little difficult to edit. My over-indulging is now accruing to your […]
