I started writing this post by apologizing about the fact that it has been so quiet on Thefashionguitar.com the past week, but then I reminded myself of an article I read on Vogue.com this weekend, about the “6 things working women should never email”.

I love the “Carrie Bradshaw” vibe, and the romance it brings to a look, yet without looking like a fairy princess – cause that’s not me at all!
