The Weekly Round Up

Blissfully, I am escaping the cold and enjoying a perfect patch of weather in Florida. I had all the best intentions of blogging away and at least delivering some scoop from Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, but I am a skillfull proscrastinator, particularly while sitting in the sun and catching up with old firends...not happening!  Fortunately, I can count on my Blogging Buddies to deliver.  Here's what the gang was up to this week:

Does it seem like winter is dragging on this year? Maybe there's a glimmer of spring not only outside, but inside with beauty. See what our women of beauty are sharing this week.
