OMG! The Iowa Fashion Week article killed me!
Jeanie
The story about the girl who grew up in Africa is like real life Mean Girls!!!
Zephyr - CF Editor
Jeanie – Oh my god, yes!!!
Erin
Poor Cinderella. Hasn’t she already been tramped up enough for the most recent Disney Princesses revamp? She looks like a trailer park prom queen, I can’t even imagine what a miniskirt will do for that.

Thank you so much for featuring my Instagram postcards of Paris. Glad you liked it! :)
Catherine
I think you misused some words in the line linking to drugstore princess…. the phrase “different levels of must-have products, from beginner to novice” doesn’t make any sense.
:)
Zephyr - CF Editor
Catherine – Yes, the words are kind of weird but that actually is what the website says. Those are their level names, not mine. I took “novice” to mean “interested in makeup but not a first-timer”, where as beginner is supposed to mean “true makeup first-timer”. But check out the link for their explanation!
Chickie
Doesn’t novice mean beginner?
