Tina CraigAugust 30, 2013

Ahh, this looks like fun! There’s nothing more relaxing than soaking in a hot bath, except when your tub is uncomfortable.

Tina CraigAugust 29, 2013

Sometimes (a lot of times), more is better. Dolce & Gabbana lives by that idea, as evidenced by this beaded pony hair bag that also just happens to be leopard-printed. Want even more?
