and the jewelry is beautiful.

                              click here to go to their website and online store.

what im refering to is http://madewithloveinbrazil.com/ or MWLIB.

as their mission statement states : Founder Mary Jane Marcasiano uses her fashion design and non-profit experience to create unique, handmade products that connect cultures and support women’s and children’s charities in Brazil , Africa and Haiti. In 2007 Marcasiano formed MADE WITH LOVE a non-profit global initative dedicated to raising funds and awareness for NGOs aiding women and children in need through the production and sale of fair trade indigenous products.

i think what they are doing is a really beautiful and creative thing, this is a perfect Christmas or birthday gift, with immense meaning behind it.

single bangle $20
set of 4, $75

 

set of ten - $20

thick and chunky...

no, im not talking about soup.

right now, the trend that is really picking up is the thick, heavy, chunky jewelry. Though its not really new, and its been around for a while, this look is getting really popular.

dear rihanna, i love basically everything you wear, just so you know.

this example above isnt very chic, but you can pull it off, if its well thought out.

hope you were inspired!

dont be trashy, stay classy.
