My pleasure, Aida! Your dress is stunning. The cardi challange sounds like fun, right? I think it is really taking off on insta 🙂
I spent almost a couple of hours last night binge listening to your first 3 podcasts with Caroline and LOVED them. They were so much fun to listen to and I laughed right along with you both on many occasions drawing my husband into my office curious and maybe just a little concerned 🙂 Thank you to both of you for putting so much work into this fabulous project. Looking forward to more already – I know greedy now that you’ve already spoiled us in your launch with THREE! Thank you too Helen for another great Wednesday post. I always love Caroline’s work and somehow this post of her jacket missed me!
