I love jewelry. I typically follow jewelry trends pretty closely and I have to say I’m pretty happy that bracelets have come back into style. I haven’t quite jumped on the wrap or beaded bracelet trend yet, but I love the delicate and dainty... -

“Hello! I hope that you are very well today! I have a question for you and I am hoping very much that you will be able to help me.” This is how I speak when I’m on one of those live chat things. I honestly don’t know what happens to me, I... -
