Cause now I'm broken... by iloveBAGS! on Polyvore.com

Hmm... I'm not really an expert on this matter. But I do know that loving isn't easy, that getting hurt is a part of it. This is no reason to avoid it though since it's probably one of the best experiences one can have.

Diane von Furstenberg always knows how to make women feel and look sexy. This mini dress would perfectly hug a woman's curves. I bet wearing it would make one feel like a modern princess. This set is another entry to Vera Wang's contest. I used the shoes again since I love the color and it looks very comfortable with the thick heels and the fully covered top. urgh I want em.

This is my third entry to the sparkle with Coach contest. I love the shot of the model, she looks so real and uninhibited hence I thought the "just be you" slogan would be perfect for her. I love hats, I don't wear them as much since it's too hot here but I do collect them and I want that Coach beret for myself. As apparent in the outfit, I'm a sucker for pink especially this particular shade. It looks so clean and youthful. How I wish it's not such a hassle to shop online, passing through customs is just annoying and expensive. Online shopping should be tax-free!!!
