Orange! I’ve been on a bit of an orange kick lately. It all started when my sister asked me to make a necklace for her friend’s birthday.

I’m a rule breaker! Not the serious ones, probably just more a non-conformist, especially when it comes to clothes and jewellery. I love big jewellery, that stands out. I’m not really a tiny little charm on a gold chain kind of girl.
