Kelly Hoppen’s blog…

I ran 8kms early this am so already today I was feeling pretty much on top of the world but when world-renowned British Designer Kelly Hoppen suggested her followers on Twitter to follow us, it was just the cherry on the top of a very happy Friday cake!

Enjoy! http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/UxVs
