The Other Fashion Weeks Street Style
Post by CM Guess what I’m bored of. Go on, guess. If you exclaimed “News about Trump’s latest antics!” “Internet commenters trying to out-do themselves with offensive ‘opinions’ about things!” “Facebook informing me that some rando friend who I’m on the brink of unfollowing has liked some stranger’s photo of their baby with spaghetti sauce […]
