I love trends just as much as the next girl... and fedoras were huge last year. I don't care one bit if they are slightly out of fashion... I'm obsessed.

I was facing a conundrum commonly faced by young accessory laden women... I didn't know where to put all of my necklaces. I had the standard jewelry box solution covered... But there were some long, dramatic necklaces that were too pretty to be put away. And so my jewelry board was born.
