</div>
If you are like me and have a bunch of beads lying around this post could be helpful to you. For some time now, I have been trying to find an <b>inexpensive and neat storage solution</b> for all of the beads I have collected over the many years. I love looking at beads, collecting them and using them for the occasional craft projects.<br />
.<br />
I find this storage solution is intended for people that do not use their beads too often but rather have them tucked away most of the time. This storage solution cost me a total of $10.00. I found most of the items at the <b>Dollar Tree</b>.<br />
Upon completion of this project I cannot tell you how relieved I felt to have all my beads in order.<br />
<br />
<b>Items used: </b><br />
Plastico Storage Basket $1.50<br />
Zip -Lock Polybags by CraftMedley (1.5 in x 2 in) $1.25<br />
Zip -Lock Polybags by CraftMedley (3 in x 4 in) $1.25<br />
Avery Colour Coding Labels around $6.00<br />

Papers can pile up rather quickly if they don't get filed accordingly every day. Therefore, if papers pile up day in and day out in the same area .....it can lead to something like this (see picture below). :(</div>

Makeup is one of the many things that tends to collect over time in either the bathroom or elsewhere inside the home. I, like many other beauty product addicts, love experimenting with new products on the market. It can get quite overwhelming if products pile up over the year(s) and eventually taking over the space in the home. I have been on a mission lately to tackle this issue and come up with an easy organizing solution.</div>

The problem is real and here for you to see. My makeup hoarding has grown out of control (for my standards) over the past few months. Thankfully, I am a big believer in the basket system. I have learned over time to (at least) place items into baskets right away when disorganization starts to creep up on me. There are times when I lack time or don't feel like organizing the proper way and therefore storing products in a simple basket works fine for the time being. Then, when the right time, motivation or opportunity arises, I take my time to organize the accumulated mess properly. So today I am ready to take a good look at what could become a better and prettier storage solution.</div>

</div>
<br />
This past weekend I had the chance to visit a Christmas Market nearby my town. The streets were full of people shining off their holiday spirits. So far the weather has been mild during this late-fall therefore bundling up has been kept to a minimum. I am getting truly excited about the upcoming holidays and therefore allowed myself to buy some extra decor and holiday food items at my local Christmas Market.<br />
<br />
<b>Christmas Market Outfit :</b><br />
A basic A-lined denim skirt, knitted, black sweater, plain black turtleneck and dressy patent leather shoes. For my accessories I chose a black wool hat and a really really soft wool scarf.<br />
<br />
<b>My Holiday Nail Polish Cocktail</b>: 3 layers of China Glaze in the colour Diva Bride and 1 layer of Nails Inc. in the colour Chelsea Square.<br />
<br />
<b>My Favourite Holiday Drink: </b>White hot sugar cookie chocolate<br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;">SEASONS GREETINGS MICHELE XX</span></i>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14609281295971410474noreply@blogger.com46tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027514291256988545.post-68207457939689302212015-12-02T18:46:00.001-08:002015-12-03T06:29:11.009-08:00PRETEND SWEETNESS FOR THE SENSES<b>Happy December to E</b><b>veryone,</b><br />
<br />
Today's post is quite sweet and tender. Recently, I have developed a love for make-believe foods. With this I mean, such as delicious smelling gingerbread candles. I purchased myself a gingerbread candle at <a href="http://www.walmart.com/" target="_blank">Walmart</a>. I am quite sensitive and picky when it comes to scented candles, however, this one is extremely delicious. I am also loving my "fake" doughnuts sitting on my kitchen counter. They are so cute and a perfect eye-candy. As the holidays are approaching, temptations are everywhere. I find myself ordering minted peppermint lattes and creme brule coffees more and more.<br />
<br />
For my #OOTD I am wearing a<a href="http://www.gap.com/" target="_blank"> Gap</a> sweater (thrifted), <a href="http://www.bearpaw.com/" target="_blank">Bearpaw </a>boots, <a href="http://www.gap.com/" target="_blank">Gap</a> jeans and my favourite <a href="http://www.katespade.com/" target="_blank">Kate Spade</a> bracelet.<br />
<br />
One little thing I have learned over the years is to involve all of the senses while eating a meal. Certain foods such as cookies and doughnuts CAN be enjoyed either while ONLY using ones sense of smell (such as a candle) or sight (such as pretty "fakes").<br />
Let me know if you have any "fake" food favourites, What do you think of pretend foods?<br />

</div>
I am sharing with you my outfit-of-the-day. Since the weather is changing, I have decided to compensate for the freezing temperatures outside with a still somewhat business-oriented approach to fashion. However, I refuse to sacrifice my external, and internal, warmth for the sake of fashion...hence, I reach for warm and cozy apparel.<br />
I find it quite a challenge to remain professional-looking during cold, harsh winters.<br />
This particular outfit-of-the-day consists of a warm, fuzzy sweater/cardigan which I bought at <a href="http://www.forever21.com/" target="_blank">Forever21</a> for a 30% discount. I am pleased how much warmth this garment provides.<br />
I find the combination of suede and faux-suede, along with cozy-materials, to be a lovely combination. My shoes are real suede by <a href="http://www.cyrillus.com/" target="_blank">Cyrillus </a>(old) and a faux-suede skirt by <a href="http://www.hm.com/" target="_blank">H&M</a>. I sprayed a hint of Coco Chanel Mademoiselle on the decollete.<br />

</div>
I purchased this purple scarf a couple of years back and had sort of forgotten about it, for all the good reasons; our fall here in Canada has been so warm and sunny that there was no need to grab this one. Why am I so excited to make a post about this scarf? Well, after today's lightless and dreary weather, I decided it was time for my purple scarf to shine once again. It radiates a beautiful pop of color on a oh-so-gloomy-day. My mood can shift towards the south on such days, and this is why I love using colorful scarfs to fight the gloomy-bite.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">When analysis leads to paralysis</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In order to feel put together and balanced, especially early mornings, I like to dress my part. In general, my outfits tend to be creative and visually appealing. With life being very busy and a 4 year old running around the house, things can get very hectic as I am sure many of you can relate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Several years ago, I went through a phase where I found it incredibly stressful to get dressed in the mornings. I had lost my spark for creativity for a while, which can happen and that's ok. However as time went by, I was noticing my jeans, t-shirts and sneakers had become my best of friends. Almost like the cookie in the kitchen cabinet, knowing it is there and easy to reach for to heal the cravings. I was unable to create outfits, period. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At that time, creating a new outfit became a time consuming chore. Each and every wardrobe staple I had combined already, and couldn't think of what to create next. Buying more clothes certainly was an option but wanted to keep an overview of the things I had already owned. The scattered thought of what will I wear next paralyzed my creativity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you ever felt like; "what will I wear tomorrow?", because you are unable to come up with new outfit combinations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, I had a clever idea about getting one of these figures that can be dressed up. I am lucky enough to have a <a href="http://www.pier1.com/Mannequin---Frenchy/2552189,default,pd.html#q=mannequin&start=1" target="_blank">Pier One Imports</a> near my home, so I went to buy her. I named her Lady Dior. Since Lady Dior started living in my closet, I started to create outfits more quickly and efficiently than ever before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How my Lady Dior Mannequin has helped me become more efficient with my </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">outfit creations. </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>ability to create outfits quickly and efficiently</li>
<li>wonderful for visually creating layered outfits with ease</li>
<li>reduces unhappiness and stress by being able to disassociate from the body and see the clothes on another frame than your own </li>
<li>sparks creativity and imagination</li>
<li>displays jewelry and clothing beautifully</li>
<li>dressing her the night before with the next day outfit helps with time management</li>
</ul>

</div>
<b>FIGHTING THE MIDWEEK BLUES? </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Whenever midweek comes around my urge to fight the forces of stress is at its best. Hence my preference to stay and live in present-moment works most of the time, however there are the bluemoon-moments of inabilities that can rob me of "the moment", for whatever reason they may be, I immediately jump from vine-to-vine, like Tarzan, to my plan-B. Plan-B sits right on my desk as an emergency measure.<br />
<br />
<b>How I fight the midweek blues: Plan B</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b> #1: </b>Keeping a picture of "my favourite place" on my work-desk serves two purposes; as a form of inspiration, and a visual relaxation technique. <br />
<b><br /></b><b>#2:</b> Reminding myself that there is "my favourite place" serves a greater purpose. That place is there waiting for me whenever I need to call upon it. Next, I write a list of things I like to do at "my favourite place". This keeps me motivated to get through the day, so<b> </b>when the time comes to embed into my favourite place, it will be so great!<br />
<br />
My list of things I like to do in "my favourite place":<br />
<ul>
<li>read a book or a magazine</li>
<li>wear a nice outfit</li>
<li>drink a cup of coffee</li>
<li>catch up with my favourite YouTube-videos etc.</li>
<li>Paint my nails</li>
</ul>
<div>
</div>
I hope you enjoyed my ideas of how to fight the midweek blues.<br />

There was a time when my inner-rebel was
full at bloom. Let's say this was eons ago, but despite the fact that my
trivial teenage-years are long behind me, my inner-rebel is still able to shine
brightly every once in a while. Actually, my 4 year old daughter recently got
me thinking about the “inner-rebel”. Yes, she said the words....” Why are you
bored Mommy?” That really got me
thinking and observing my own child as she noticed my lack of energy and zeal
for activities. </div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
So after
observing her energy for a while it gave me flashbacks of energy I now can only
dream about. That zeal, excitement, and playful-defiance young children have.
This led to me recently deciding to challenge myself and get back in touch with
my inner-rebel, of course, just for fun. I paired a padded fall-jacket with a
leather purse...and I am sorry because I wish I could be sporting a <a href="http://www.balenciaga.com/ca/metallic-edge-handbag_cod45268310qa.html" target="_blank">Balenciaga</a> bag as this would be a perfect match to this outfit…but till then, I will keep
dreaming:) I’m also wearing black boots and some gold and rustic toned chains
and jewelry. Scroll down to see more. :) <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During the fall season my favorite colors are browns and burgundies. Most fashion pieces that have graduated into my closet this fall needed to have at least one of these colors in it. Today's post is about an extremely rich color. Its vibrant and chic-nature are their most fashionable characteristics. I am talking about the color red-wine which originates from the burgundy family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing I have learned over the years when shopping for new jewelry pieces, is to make sure that each new piece can be easily matched-up with at least one piece from my current collection. This way I am mindful about my budget and the size of my collection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the time of the purchase of this bracelet, I had remembered that my mother's hand-me-down pair of vintage, jewelry ruby earrings would be a perfect match for the bracelet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>My style tips: </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>1. </b>When mixing varying shades of red, this can help make the outfit become very chic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>2.</b> Not being afraid to mix fashion jewelry with real jewelry. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My tradition for the past couple of years at Halloween night has been: the girls husband's and boyfriend's go Trick-or-Treating with the kids...whilst the ladies have a ball handing out candy, sipping coffee, eating guilt-free sweets, and all while staying cozy and warm inside. If you are looking for a healthy coffee snack-time idea, then here is one that you may almost find too easy to make :) Scroll down for the recipe if you are interested into tricking your sweet tooth, or shall I say treating it :)) </div>

</div>
Today's post is about a pretty, dark beige skirt that I came across at H&M about a month ago. It is made out of 100% polyester but it looks like a suede skirt. It is an affordable piece that hopefully will last for more than a season. This skirt has decorative buttons in the front and a concealed zip at the back. It feels light and comfortable on the body.<br />
<br />
In Canada we celebrated Thanksgiving this past weekend. Similar to the USA <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(Canada)" target="_blank">Thanksgiving</a>, Canadians celebrate by spending time with the family and eating too much delicious food. Due to this past weekend being a holiday, I decided to wear this skirt two days in a row. On the first day, I paired it with a turtle neck cashmere shirt, brown boots, small bag and a necklace. On the second day I changed up the accessories to a large <a href="http://www.michaelkors.com/" target="_blank">Michael Kors</a> tote and brown flats.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>My Style tip:</b> When wearing skirts with boots I prefer to carry a small handbag with me. I find a large handbag with boots would overpower the skirt. When I switched to the tote on the following day, I changed up my boots for a pair of flats so that the outfit would appear more balanced remain feminine. :)<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A couple years ago I walked into a store called <a href="https://www.talbots.com/online/home">Talbots</a> here in Canada. They had beautiful corduroy pants in a variety of colors. Unfortunately, I ended up leaving the store empty handed due to them being a bit pricey. I will get back to the Talbots experiece shortly but first let me share with you why I started loving the corduroy material. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I consider myself lucky to receive a hand-me-down every once in a while from my stylish mother. This fall, she handed me a black corduroy jacket. At first, I was hesitant to accept since I tend to think of corduroy of somewhat an old fashioned term and material. However, as I wore it for the first time, I had changed my mind about my preconceiving opinion. Since this piece is black, I will be able to pair it with pretty much anything this fall. It keeps me warm on those around 10 degrees C days. It feels light and roomy enough to wear a sweater underneath it. Now back to the Talbots story. I ended up regretting not buying the pants that day for quite some time. Therefore, I can't wait for this years winter sales and for sure will be heading to Talbots to pick me up some beautiful corduroy pants. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today, I paired my black jacket with a Marled <a href="http://www.forever21.com/">Forever 21</a> cardigan (purchased from last years winter sale), a pair of <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1020970&vid=1&pid=364619002">Gap</a> streight denims, gold toned jewelry and a pair of classic grey moccasins (old). My companion for today is my all time favorite <a href="http://www.toryburch.com/">Tory Burch</a> bag (double zip tote). I purchased this bag at the Tory Burch premium outlets for a fraction of the original price. So far it is holding up well and I think it is a stunning bag that can be paired with any outfit. The necklace is from <a href="http://www.hm.com/entrance.ahtml?orguri=/">H&M</a> (summer 2015 collection). </div>

Fall is here and temperatures have dropped. Leaves are falling and the squirrels are very busy preparing for the winter. I love the fall season as the lights and shadows are placed perfectly for photography.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Burgundys and browns have been and still are some of my favorite colors for fall outfits. However, I am challenging myself by trying out different colors. Today, I decided to mix blues, blacks and greys into my outfit. I have been looking for an affordable marled coat for some time now. I was out of luck last fall season, until I came across this marled coat from H&M from this years fall collection. I find it to be the perfect coat as I am extremely picky about coat designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Wishing you all a wonderful fall season. </div>

Gardening has always been on my wishlist of things to learn. This year I decided to plant the carrot seeds that I found at the dollar store. I planted the seeds in early-May and pulled the carrots today. I aspire to be a green thumb, and I am hoping to learn from this, my first vegetable garden experiment. To my surprise, it was really easy. I made sure I had fresh potting soil in my flower bed before I planted the seeds. Next, I planted the seeds and hoped that the wild rabbits won't eat them! Unexpectedly, the rabbits went after the radishes, not the carrots. I wonder if <b>Peter Rabbit</b> would</div>

have done the same in real life. :)</div>

Today, I am wearing my Zara jacket (spring 2015) and a floral top from Forever 21 (old).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My cut down Hunter boots come in really handy when I am gardening. My local shoe-repair shop cut them down for me. I loved the Hunter logo but the boots were too long and funny looking on me. I am planning to purchase the shorter version soon.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Tonight we are invited to eat at a Mexican restaurant for dinner by
very dear friends of ours. The restaurant is my all-time favorite. There are entertainers wearing Sombreros playing Mexican music and dancers dancing the Mariachi into the night.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
My favorite meal is Chimichanga with Mexican beans and rice. In the near future, due to
my love for Mexican food I have plans to visit Mexico and explore the culture
of Mexico, and of course their delicious cuisine. At least I am living La Vida Loca tonight! </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Since this is my favorite place to eat-out,
I have quite the reason to get dressed. I am certainly not yet ready to let go
of the summer-fashion. I will be wearing pinks-and- whites until the
temperatures cool down. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
For tonight’s dinner I paired blue jeans
with a simple Peplum style blouse and a pink blazer (both of which are from Ann
Taylor). My choice of shoes for today are open toed, nude-colored espadrilles.
The necklace’s colors are gold and pink. I find this matches well to my pink
blazer. I will be escorting my Ted Baker purse with gold-toned hardware which
equally matches the gold chain of my necklace. I try to keep the color of
my jewelry matching the hardware of the handbag, most of the time. <o:p></o:p></div>

I was quite in the mood to wear something floral today. My closet only holds a few floral dresses but a rather large quantity of floral blouses and shirts. I feel most comfortable wearing a basic, neutral dress and then adding something floral somewhere along the outfit. Whether it's a floral scarf or a pair of floral shoes, adding only one floral pattern at a time is the way I like it. This particular neutral dress has been part of my staple wardrobe for an entire 6 years. It is the perfect piece to add a pop of color to whilst not going too far off my conservative dressing style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since the fall season is nearing, I am currently playing up the floral patterns and sneaking them in at any chance I can get. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The floral top is from Forever 21 and it is very soft and comfortable on the skin. I love wearing this floral top over the shoulders and as a wrap shirt. My companion for today is this little vintage dainty,golden handbag. As usual I am wearing my black ballerina flats from Zara. :)</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I went to Forever21 about a month ago for a special
buy-one-top-get-one-free-top summer sales event. That day, it was extremely
busy in the store. The lines were unusually long at the check-out counter,
thusly I hurried a bit finding my two pieces. I left the store with a beautiful
floral top and a bright red spaghetti-strap top. Shortly after my purchase, I
had second thoughts about the spaghetti-strap top purchase. How was I ever
going to wear this bright red top? Whenever I have a piece in my closet that I’m
not liking anymore, I either give it to a friend or donate it to Goodwill. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
what to do with a top that you don't like if it was just purchased? Well…I
couldn't return it because it was a final sale. I gave it a good wash, a steam, and hung it in my closet with love ‘n care. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then…at
a second glance, the color wasn't actually that bad, and I decided to take on a
challenge and create an outfit with this top. I know black and red always look
good together. In order for the outfit to work and remain looking feminine, I simply
added white jeans, a silver bracelet, and necklace.<o:p></o:p></div>

The weather is hot and sunny today and I expect there to be a whole lot of people. I am looking forward to dip my feet into the cold water. :)<br />
I am wearing my water slippers from Target. I paired a white, basic tank top with a scarf which I transformed into a skirt (see below). Scarfs are one of my favorite accessories because of their versatility.<br />
<br />
Here are some ways I get use out of my scarfs at the beach:<br />
<ul>
<li>Something to sit on</li>
<li>As a light blanket</li>
<li>To protect my decollete and hair from the sun</li>
<li>To wipe off sand or excess water</li>
<li>To wrap around my torso to keep warm</li>
<li>As a skirt</li>
</ul>
<br />
I am also bringing a light purple cardigan with me, just in case the temperature cools down in the evening. My large Longchamp tote coupled with a small shoulder bag are my bag choices for the day. I made my family a healthy beet salad before heading on our beach trip.<br />
<br />
Have a great day:)<br />

Whenever mid-July comes around, I feel really light and summery. At the same time I sense fall is just around the corner. I love the color beige because it is perfect for all seasons. The color beige is dominating both my home decor and closet . Today's outfit is an idea/inspiration that works both for summer and early fall. Given that there are so many great summer sales right now, hunting for neutral and basic pieces (and of course fashion jewelry) becomes my mission.<br />
<br />
Hands down, my top weakness is fashion jewelry! I love shoes and clothes, but a glitzy piece of jewelry I cannot resist. It took me quite some time to learn how to incorporate all of my glitzy fashion-jewelry into my wardrobe. It's like I have this split personality when it comes to fashion: Fashion-jewelry....I tend to buy it glitzy; Outfits...neutral and basic. How weird is that?!!<br />
<br />
So for quite some time I purchased...and...purchased fashion-jewelry, and my collection grew larger...and...larger over the years. But my pieces remained in my closet and sadly never got to see the light of day. During such periods, I would admire my relatively inexpensive jewelry collection as if it was worth a million bucks! As time went on, I made a stance against my split fashion taste. I decided that I was going to start wearing my fashion-jewelry, and try really hard to match them with my classy taste for clothes.<br />
<br />
Recently I was walking through H&M, and came across this red bubbly necklace. I like the bold and beautiful appearance of it. However, since I do not want to look like a bird-of-paradise, I paired the red,gold necklace with a classic beige top. This way I fulfill my need for glitz, but remain chic at the same time.<br />
<br />
During my recent sales-hunting, I came across a really 'flowy' cardigan from, again, H&M. This is such a versatile piece that can be paired with any top during summer. It is made out of polyester but feels really light and comfortable. It will be the perfect piece to have for the days my monthly friend is present (Ladies!...you know what I mean). I do not like showing my arms during those days.<br />
<br />
Color conclusion: Beige, black, red<br />

Now is the time of the year for Cocktail Party invites. Personally, the word Cocktail Party always freaked me out a bit. Prior to my first ever Cocktail Party experience, I was horrified and couldn't wrap my head around what I was going to wear. In my imagination, Cocktail parties were THE hangout place for the most stylish of women. Women sitting cross legged, chatting away in perfect posture and poise, sipping away at their cocktail glasses ever so gently with the worry that red lipstick marks would show. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In all honesty, I placed my hesitant thoughts to the side and decided to attend and just be myself. My style, simple, classic and comfortable. So I bought a pretty silk blouse, matched it with fashion jewelry and light pair of jeans. I had a light cropped cardigan handy and carried a simple, black evening purse. I love to feel glamorous but not over the top glam. Therefore, I glammed up the top part of my outfit and kept the bottom part simple and comfortable. The Cocktail Party ended up being a wonderful experience, especially studying the stylish ladies. I ended up having tons of fun and even scored some compliments on my outfit. :)</div>

Silk is a wonderful material for adding a bit of glam to your outfit. I love silk because it can be dressed up or down. It feels really comfortable on the skin as well. I find that silk brings out the best in jewelry. Its like the perfect platform to show off statement or non-statement jewelry pieces. </div>
