Do you have to make it part of your jewelry wardrobe even if you don't like it? NO! Jewelry is personal and while I steer clear of dictating what anyone should wear, I do like to shar

Inspiration can come from anywhere. Staying current on what to wear means being up to date on music, couture and low-end fashion, art and more. Of course, it helps to know how to synthesize all of that into a look for a particular personality and body type, but... details, details.
