Welcome to Blue Dress:

Welcome to my twenties: life is on the cusp, my nail varnish is chipped, and my sheets are stained by fake tan which pales to orange against the diamonds I wear around my fingers. My world is wide and small; it tastes like salt air and the fizz of champagne and I open it to you from the pages of a pink notebook. Hold it gently — the pages are liable to fall out.
