First of all, we would like to thank you ladies for the awesome response on our blog and Facebook page you have given us so far. We're still in the midst of working up some really interesting projects for clothesxenvy. We'll attempt to update this space as often as time allows us to :)
It's been raining almost everyday where we live and the weather hasn't been very good in perking up spirits. Hope everyone has been wrapping up in knits, drinking their favourite hot tea and enjoying the best out of the stormy weather!
