Hi :) so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! Sorry I'm not there! I hope you have a fabulous today. This blog is going to be short because I really am not feeling very well. I think every fashion girl either was sick last week or is sick now. Literally, girls are walking together in groups to the American doctor to try and get better.
