Ok - first off, imho, your blurring too much again! 
It ruins the line and the pop of the subject. Use a wider aperture to blur the background rather than PP.
The colours are nice and work well with each other. The light in the mirror is a little distracting but its nothing major
The mirror frame could work realy well as a natural frame, but watch your angles, as it can make the whole image look "out"
Try to Move the hair away from her eyes and get her to show some teeth!!! I can imagine she has a beautiful warm smile, so lets see it. One more thing, get some catch lights in her eyes, either by using a dedicated light or put her closer to a window
Keep shooting!

Agree with KK
Esp on using the camera to blur the background instead of using photoshop.
