I think she has pretty good taste!

Desiree Salas

Who doesn't LOVE an easy cotton wrap dress?  My new favorite is from local Oakland designer Desiree Salas.  I love that you can
tie this in the front or in the back - it feels like a custom fit!  The little pocket is perfect for your lipstick!  Purchase this dress here.
