About Me |
|
| Bruises, old dresses, and French songs sung drunkenly. Things I am no good at: Riding heavy old schwinns, taking movies back on time, eating rice in a timely manner. I am currently obsessed with thrifted-fashion blogs. Help me. http://www.lomohomes.com/chicagocat http://www.librarything.com/catalog/ms.cat | |
