Love K. Grace! The designer, Kamilah, is one of the sweetest people I’ve met. Her styles are great!
Just got the Water Fight Dress and it is soooo light and comfy, perfect for summer!
oooh love…i would wear the heck out of that dress.
happy weekend
I love Kamilah. She’s an amazing person and deserves the best. Yay for her new line. This has been a dream of hers for so long!
I love K. Grace! Kamilah’s designs are so fresh and fun. Can’t wait to try some of her clothes.
I can’t wait to try some of these designs!!
So lovely! And it looks really comfortable…
I love the simple lines. They actually remind me a little bit of the Amish clothes, though those tend to be made of more hard wearing synthetic fabrics.
Nice. I’m still in the market for a dress for this wedding. NOTHING is calling my name right now. Except one I saw on ebay…that’s overseas and would take 3 weeks to get here. Too late for the wedding. (Although I might just buy it anyway!)
