Fall Line of Baby Gassy Gooma

Too many trips to Starbucks for those gals at BGG? LOL! While I like this dress and the color too, I'm not crazy about the name, it seems as though it should have a name like mocha leopard or giraffe couture. While I have been a huge fan over the years, there are some fall lines this year I don't care for like: Back In Style Argyle and Berry Brook Cottage. I also miss my favorite boutique model this year - Chaislyn Jay. Bad move for them not to use her - I think she really brought alot to BBG.
