Ouch. Their stuff is way too pricey for my budget, but it’s adorable!
Yep. I’m with you. I’m having a fantasy moment here. (Or I will stalk the website until something is on sale or be able to buy like ONE dress.)

Educators in the Houston metro area are readying a “book trafficker” caravan that would travel March 12–18 from Houston, Texas, to Tucson, Arizona, to donate books about the Mexican-American experience to four volunteer libraries.
