Posted on February 5, 2010 by cheriecity

Urban Outfitters’ Boutique floor is my shopping weakness, as they are always on point with their under-the-radar designers that bridge the gap between disposable high street garments and ‘save for a year’ designer pieces. I came across t.b.a (short for … Continue reading →
