"Take Flight" Earrings By Anika Braxton Joy-Ani Designs
This issue is all about making a statement! A statement piece is a unique piece that puts an exclamation point on your outfit or your home. It's that extra something that gives what you add it to an extra punch. It can define who you are at that very moment. A statement piece is something that tells the world one more thing about you, without you ever saying a word. I would also like to welcome back Ms. Anika Braxton of Joy-Ani Designs! She's been hard at work lately with her latest collection, Birds, Butterflies & Botanicals and we are honored to have her present many of her pieces right here, all of which are for sale! See more of Anika's amazing work starting on page 3!
