Hello Vanessa! I like the featured restaurants you did for today’s show! My cousin owns a boutique also in California. I was wondering if you do features on fashion shops too, maybe you can also shoot at my cousin’s shop. Thanks!
Hi Mayee! First off, thank you so much for your kind words! Secondly, I love love love fashion, part of my brand is “ChicFire” which is all about being fabulous and loving fashion.
