I don't think there is any way in which I could be further converted as a Bhavana fan, but here I find myself possessing even more of a swoon-lust for this special little boutique.

It's happening right now. Just this very instant cyclists across the HRM are saddling up and taking to the street, posse style.

This weekend I tried on a $400 jade and diamond ring at The Finer Things. SHA-WING - it was totally perfect on my finger. But alas, the dilemmas of the working girl make it impossible for one to give in to such extravagant purchases.
