Friday Frock and Fizz
Serving up a visual frock and fizz today. I am on the fly often; jersey knit dresses with chic sneaks keep me feeling comfortable. And, who doesn't get a kick of cheer while looking at colorful fizz-spiration? Happy weekend! Image Credits - Frock: Unknown // Fizz:...

JBD an-uh-vur-suh-ree
