  7. Oh, oh, that outfit is fab.

    He needed to change that to "You make me jealous I am not YOU" as not all women are as fabulously stylish as you, my gorgeous.

  23. You make me jealous I'm not a woman too... Whoops, forgot, I AM!
    I do feel a little envious of your spectacular style though, look at your fabulousness! I think this outfit kind of sums you up, Desiree - flouncy foofy frock, rock chick leggings and gloves, military and animal print, and beautiful flowers. A wee master class in Desiree Style! Gorgeous! xxxxxxx
