a few of my favorite things…  silver bib fringe necklace by countess cis zoltowska made from five inch long chains.  the bad news?  it’s vintage.  and it’s sold.  i’m thinking about attempting to recreate a similar look with normal fringe, which is a big look this season.  i think it could definitely be cool, if [...]
