I love statement necklaces and collars, and I'm so much looking forward to wearing some in October... when I am where I most like to be! I loved number 11 from hannahzakari and then Holland Roden's collar, then number 2 by Noir Hacienda and Anja Rubik's collar! Let's see what I'll wear - after all, I will have boxes and boxes, and may not have the energy to find things... but this is about to end!
Thank you, always!, for your sweet words!!!! After the "storm" I'll send and ask news!

I have the real gold Cleopatra collar necklace (my husband gifted it to me a few years ago) but I wore it only 3(!!!) times. I definitelly need a few useful tips how to adapt this trend in fall's wardrobe...
