Welcome to Fashion Friday dear friends! As I child I would watch the classic holiday film White Christmas every year. I longed for a stunning turquoise gown, rhinestone gloves and even an enchantingly simple circle skirt.

His tales regaling weird customer demands and rudeness are horrifying. I always treat the people preparing my food nicely.
