| WORD OF MOUTH |
In answer to last week's question:
Where do you buy your swimwear?
michelle101167 said: "Where do I buy my swimwear? Ironically enough through the Lands End catalog. I find that I can mix and match tops and bottoms for a customized suit for my body type. I also love the durability and freshness of the looks. I still have pieces form three years ago and simply add a new top or bottom to mix and match what I already own. I'm a loyal customer."
This Week's Question
Do you like the new no-makeup look? What's your summer beauty routine?
