GO-TO SPRING TREND: Scarves and sandals.
HEIRLOOM JEWELRY: “I wear my mom’s emerald ring and my dad’s Rolex watch every day. His name is engraved on the back. Karat Creations in Texas City spruced it up for me by adding a turquoise face and diamond bezel. They are precious to me.”
I WANT YOUR CLOSET!
I love the way you dress and you always have interesting jewels.
