All Kinds of Everything

Edited by: Florrie Clarke of Intrinsically Florrie

There's  such lovely variation amongst the links submitted this week. We are  fashion bloggers - of course we like things that are pretty things from expensive handbags to quirky DIY jewelry - but the dedication to great  content and a passion for good causes is what really stands out with this week's posts.
