About Quyen
A California girl with the typical penchant for Starbucks, beaches, and fashion... Naturally gifted with the ability to make any fashion product sound like the a fundamental neccessity required for basic everyday operation.

Cheers!

Well, I’ll admit to the occasional lazy Sunday, but just as often as I’m strolling around like Holly Golightly at Tiffany’s, I’m also frowning [...]
