Today was my first day back at school, and I figured some retail therapy was in order, in the form of these two beautiful Karen Caldwell dresses. They’re so classy and elegant, and I really love the way they look on. I can’t wait for my final fitting! But my dresses aren’t the reason for this blog.

Today, euro100 million ($123 million) in art was stolen from the Paris Museum of Modern Art, including a Picasso and a Matisse, making it one of the greatest heists in history. No one was hurt. The only causalities were a window and a padlock, which were broken. Of course, the paintings were taken, but the thing is… they’re unsellable. Too recognizable, even the mention of one...
