I was sent this book by the author for review, and I was kind of blown away by her story. Luellen is the daughter of Allen Smiley, a man who was very publicly known to be a member of the organised crime syndicate in LA, but whom she knew as Daddy. As a sheltered child, …
Winter fashion can sometimes feel like a bit of an oxymoron to me. When you have to layer up all the time just to stay warm, you can end up feeling like the Michelin man, which is not exactly sexy. But even in a cold climate, your look doesn't have to be utilitarian. And it …
