Spending my Sunday night doing a quick little spot of window shopping. As usual, I’ve landed on the Sezane website, and there is so much good stuff. At this point, you’ll be well aware of my shopping strategy. Browse now, shop later. The whole idea being that I give myself some time to mull over new purchases.
