I haven't posted a blog in awhile.  Now that summer is half over (at least here in Minnesota) I thought I would share my summer of PUG outfits!

Hi All! 

I want to share more candid VLV pics - many of these were taken by my dear friend Julie.  You can also catch up on my day by day account of Viva on my blog - www.pinupatheart.wordpress.com.
