Ben and I were down in Chinatown a few days ago to take a specific picture from the Manhattan Bridge walkway. We decided that while we were down there, we might as well pop into … Continue reading Dana Digs Dumplings Vol. 2
I've never really been a skirt kind of girl. I went through that awful black bandaged mini skirt with sky high Steve Madden pumps phase (Ew, I know) back in my high school and early college days, but I've never had a love affair with skirts.
