I have been budgeting pretty strictly this summer, and I’m going to Chicago at the end of the month to see my sister for our birthday, and I was being so diligent and responsible, and then Playful Promises dropped the new Gabi Fresh collection this morning and, well… I saw this piece at Curve in July […] Read more…
