Turquoise Obsession

I love turquoise. Obsessed really. Throughout the years, I have either found pieces that I've had to have, or had some lovely people gift them to me. 

My mom recently got back from a trip to Cancun for a Matrix training. While she was there, she bartered with a local vendor to bring me back a fab turquoise beaded cuff. Of course I went gaga over it, and promptly added it to my collection.

drédin FOREVER

It's not very often that you'll find a friendship like ours. At the age of 5, a bond started that would never be broken.

Now we look back at over 20 years of friendship [ true ladies will not reveal their exact age ;) ]  and we have a  mutual love for fashion, fluency in speaking [code], and sisterhood as strong as a blood bond.

To share something so grand, we felt the burning need to inscript our bodies with a customized [code] that only we could interpret. 

It's been just over a year that we've had our matching ink, and this Christmas we received a gift from dré's husband of our names on matching bracelets! Don't you love them?!

[DIY] Bracelets

I've always found men that do hard physical labor to be sexy. Big strong hands, rippled bodies glistening in the sun....you get the picture! Well, who knew that I would hit the jackpot when I found my man! Not only is he a workin' man (who's fine as can be), turns out he has knack for fashion!

Feast your eyes upon my fabulous bangles and bracelets my boo made for me out of electrical wire! Love it?? Then go Do It Yourself!!

XOXO Dré
