Hi Holly,
YES!!!! All the good cosmetics departments are within walking distance in Union Square, too, so we’ll have no shortage of makeup to drool over. 🙂
Girl, I have to tell you, one of the best parts about planning a wedding is getting the dress! When your time comes you’ll have to send me pics so I can vicariously live through you.
Do you have any more trips lined up for the season? Or are you staying putt for a while?
Hi Elle,
Aww, Pumpkin! How long does the shedding last? Is it days, weeks?
Tabs is starting to shed, too, so I think it’s time for him to be FURMINATED. I really feel your pain. I swear I have about eight of those lint picker-upper rolls stashed all over the house.
Hi Iheartmakeup!
Ummm… WOW! That’s so great! Aren’t you constantly tempted by it all? Nars is really fantastic…
