I’ve already reviewed the Guimard Dress ($148). I’ve already chosen this as my July buy. The question is which pattern? Or, sorry, motif. The blue or the red?

I was positively giddy to see this in my Inbox (See how easy I am to market to? Make me feel special and I’m in!). I like customer surveys. It was pretty short — I was asked to…
Just over a day into the We’re All in This Together contest, we’re already almost 1/4 of the way to the goal of $1000! I could not be more pleased — thank you to everyone who has entered so far.
