My Fashion Story
Hey beautiful people, I decided to do a post to share something really exciting with you, I made a gorgeous satin halter neck dress for the first time in the space of a day!!!

Winter has got to be my favourite time of year, even though I was born in summer, the tummy warming food, cosy weather, and longer nights (all this sounds like a recipe for weight gain) are enough for me to fall in love with this chilly season, but nothing excites me as much winter fashion.
