With Valentine's Day less than a week away - and the excitement building - we figured it was about time to show off one of our favorite LBB Jewelers, because, as she says, I've never met a woman who doesn't like jewelry! dejarnette new orleans is a boutique jewelry designer out of - you guessed it - New Orleans and we can't get enough of her dainty detailed pieces. So we asked her to sit down and answer a few questions we were dying... [MORE]

So many of us were, are, or will be in the exact same boat this bride was in when the moment she was engaged.

Instead, go for a pretty silk flower that adds that same touch of romance without the high maintenance... [MORE]
