  • Coffee Break: Bold Beaded Strands

    When they say “bold,” they mean bold — this is a definite statement necklace. I got this a while ago on a whim (in a very un-Kat-like orange) and have been shocked at how much I’ve worn it, both because of the orange and the multiple layered pieces. But I like it — it’s simple…
