While I was home, I was glancing at my desk. I have some RANDOM books. Then I started laughing at how much my taste in books varies. Each book brings back so many memories from when I first read them. And then I was thinking, this would make a really great post for College Prep….
Winner + Sydney
Sydney Buchanan used to be THE place to get presents in South Tampa. You practically couldn’t go to a birthday party without bringing a Sydney piece as a present. “Sydney’s,” is always the response when asked where you got your necklace (or bracelet or earrings, etc).
