[Messy Nessy Chic]   Annie Hall is a fan. Yup, you’re in good company at Messy Nessy Chic. As it turns out, Diane Keaton herself is a fellow reader, which we discovered after the iconic actress shared some fashion inspiration courtesy of 13 Things via her Instagram account, giving us a much-appreciated shout out in the process.  But this community is pretty awesome – we already knew that.
