God loves a cheerful giver.
i cannot stop staring at those carmen burgess/seventeen illustrations
Creepy and intriguing, I know. Like the Black Swan trailer.
i don't understand how miu miu paris gets those shoes. i combed every miu miu store in the US looking and everyone told me they weren't produced here except for a handful of mary janes and clogs. it's NOT FAIR. sometimes i cry myself to sleep. sometimes all a girl wants is a pair of cat platforms, okay?
:(
