Besides shoes, jewelry is my favorite accessory! I also believe the more, the better! I never used to wear jewelry until junior year of college..... so like 2005. Random fact.
I really started becoming attracted to interesting and unique vs. pretty jewelry thanks to the likes of Rumi Neely (of Fashiontoast) and Kristin Reiter (of BleachBlack)! Which reminds me of a story......
*I had a one day internship with RVCA two years ago in Costa Mesa, CA and Kristin Reiter was my gorgeous mentor. Even though I spent maybe 3 hours with the chick, I am more inspired by her and what she had to say than anyone I have ever met before. I remember showing up, looking so unoriginal and boring and feeling like a fish out of water. She probably thought "this girl needs some work"! I wasn't able to finish my internship with RVCA because I wasn't enrolled in school.. I was brand spankin' new to California and had just graduated from University of Minnesota. I was NOT about to enroll in school! I was completely disappointed, but it all worked out for the best. I ended up aspiring to be like Kristin and threw my life into designing and started my own clothing line called Risk vs. Reward Clothing with my fiance.*
ok, sorry for the flash back... just thought I'd share that fun story:) This post is for all the people who love jewelry and for those who wonder where I buy my gems. enjoy!
