“I know, I know. It’s a splurge. But, I genuinely think the Dyson hair dryer would be worth the expense. With incredibly thick hair (like mine), the hair dryer (supposedly) makes hair styling so much easier. It’s obviously not a need, but the hair dryer is certainly a want of mine.”
Olivia Book: Marc Jacobs Purse
