I can walk past Macy’s, H&M or any boutique with no problem, but Forever 21 tempts me every time. Let me explain… As much as I love a flirty dress, I...

This past weekend I hosted a Sip & Swap with the ladies of O So Chic. If you were one of the ladies in attendance, then you know we had a great time and if you couldn’t join us, check out the recap.
