Absolutely Mrs. K said...: oh what a pretty dress, it looks fabulous with your dark hair. The dress has a tricky cut, but it looks perfect on you. I love the fact that you have combined it with nude stylish heels, it makes the look a little bit more urban (I’m sure it also looks amazing with flats). Love the setting with the balloons. Oh and those fabulous earrings!!!!!; March 3, 2011 at 2:45 AM
