By Erika, Fashion Expert I have a LOT of things I love. A lot of products I swear by. A lot of things I simply can't live without. But my list of things I love is always growing. So, each month I'm going to share with you guys what I'm loving for that month. In [...]
By Erika, Fashion Expert I don’t necessarily like living on the edge. OK, I don't like it at all. But I know some of you do and that extreme Christmas shopping is your thing. I’m still so tickled by the texts I get on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of December asking what I think [...]
