A very special dress

Fashion
Jul 31, 200853 Comments

Before I embarked on the shoe challenge (which began today) I wanted to wear this vintage Carolina Herrera dress that came in the mail this week with my Balenciaga ankle boots-photographed in front of the wreckage of my sisters bathroom (installing new counters)


This dress makes me feel like a princess!

    Believe it or not, the correct answer to every question is A, B, and C — even that Saturday afternoon snooze! According to the growing “Stealth Health” movement, sneaking healthy habits into our daily living is easier than we think.

    Thank you so much Tim. I really do appreciate your feedback. I’m still struggling with the technology but I wish everyone all luck with this competition. I’ve been pinned down with a sick grandchild and today a very sick daughter – both with gastric flu which afflicts us all at this time of year – so this is the first moment I’ve had to get to the computer.
