why is it that every single time i see a scarf so beautiful it makes me gasp, it turns out to be by epice? seriously…every. single. time. oh, the colors, the dreamy oversized floral, the gauzy light-as-air cotton…sigh. sadly, epice’s prices are increasing, as is inevitable when i find a brand i adore. this one’s […]
