Hi EKD fam! Shoutout to the people that made it past the first blog post!! The first one was such a hit that i have decided to make this more of a regular thing. And by "regular" i mean like maybe once a week or every other week. Sometimes ya girl can't do it all, but i will keep you in the loop via instagram. If you're crazy and don't follow me on instagram you can find me at @emilykearnsdesigns - come join the funnnnnnn! 

I am so excited for you all to finally see the green bracelet drop.. Green is THE COLOR of the year and so happens to be one of my all time favs. You will see it in homes as a paint color, clothes, the new iphone (lol), and lots of jewels from EKD. These bracelets are bold, unique, beachy, and trendy. They have a little african but girly vibe to them. You can dress these bracelets up or down - totally up to you. 

I want to give you a little background on the jewelry because there is a story behind the beads I used. These beads were originally Venetian trade beads and were specifically used in the tribes of Ghana. They believed the glass beads had magical powers. The wealth of your husband or family was also determined by the number of strands worn. How unique is that!!? There's a little history lesson for ya!! :) 
 
 There are five different variants of the new bracelets. You can shop them on the website with the link below: 
 
OKAY NOW......

 

 

I told y'all that i wanted to make EKD more of an experience so that is exactly what i am doing.. I am going to link dresses, bathings suits, purses, and more that are focused on the green theme.. All of the items range from around $20-$400. So there is a lot of splurge but also a lot of deals.
