Garden Party or Funeral? Banana Republic's Garden Statement Necklace

Banana Republic Garden Statement Necklace Hmm… I can’t quite make up my mind about this piece.

Henri Bendel Debutante Pearl Bracelet More often than not, you will see me wearing a combination of two things – pave and pearls. While virtually everyone loves pave, I feel like pearls still get a bad rap. They’re still perceived as prissy, stuffy and/or conservative, and evoke images of repressed ’50s housewives holding apple pies … Continue reading “Henri Bendel Debutante Pearl Bracelet”
