Power shopping

I’m on instagram!

I know! It kind of took me a while but I got there! You’ll find me as retromummy (well, obviously) but I don’t really know what I’m doing! In fact I had to ask my nanny how to reply to someone:) And I haven’t worked how to blog the photo yet without using flickr but I’ll get […]
