Karen Walker dress, Glassons cardigan, Beau Coop x KW shoes, Country Rd socks, Alexander Wang devere bag, Cheap Monday ring, Marc by Marc Jacobs katie bracelet I have always been a sucker for sales. Always. There is something thrilling about nabbing a purchase for an absolute bargain, and even better if it’s something that you have been wanting to buy for some time.
