Navy and red is a classic combination that never fails. Add a few bows, stripes and some pleats and you've got yourself a winning combination! I found this dress a few months ago at Nordstrom Rack by a brand named Gracia. I was so drawn to the vintage look of it that exudes sophistication, class [...]
This was going to be a totally different post but as I began researching the origins of Valentine's day I inadvertently tumbled down a rabbit hole and quite frankly, was shocked. My initial questions were; where did Valentine's day originate from, why do we celebrate it now, and are we truly honoring the traditional meaning [...]
