Yes what’s her name is still modeling for me and I’m desperately seeking a name instead ofSusan… My eyes bugged out when I first felt this blouse and then sawthe French Connectiontag still on the rayon top.

This top still had the Bloomingdale’s $98 tag on it and you knowI didn’t pay anywhere near that neighborhood. This brand

To mewhen I even hear someone make that comment it’s like running yourfingernails over a chalk board. Who deemed this idiot all the powert

Lilly Pulitzer was born into socialite family inNew York, her mother was
