Snow Boot Godsend
I am not a brand girl. I don’t care about the latest Coach or Michael Kors. Yes, give me two options, and I tend to pick the most expensive, but also have a hella lot of Target and H&M in my wardrobe. And I honestly don’t remember the last time I bought a pair of […]
Music: Dreamgirls…Jimmy says see it!

The full episode will air on January 16th at 8:00PM on WTTW. My first chance at national recognition…I will make the upcoming promo for the episode of the year! […]
