My favorite item from Christyn’s shop is the asymmetrical Purple Beaded Gemstone Necklace – statement necklaces are in this season and this one looks great:) http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23014283

I love the Green with Envy Cluster Bracelet. It’s so lush with color! But, I actually bought a necklace because it was also beautiful! Thanks for the reco!

I’ve fallen in love with the Honesty necklace. I was scrolling down the page, thinking they were all beautiful, I’d never pick a favorite, and I saw that necklace and just stopped. Love.
(Does Twitter count if my Twitter is private?)

Oh yeah, I forgot I get an extra entry here for posting about Christyn on my blog. I posted about her merely because I really like her product. So, this is just bonus! Here is the post, in case I’m supposed to include it in this comment: http://somispeaks.com/833. Thanks, my dear, for introducing me to her!
