</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Chances are, this is the first time you'll come across the name <a href="http://www.5inchandup.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sandra Hagelstam</a>. It's probably just because you live in the United States. It took us a minute to discover her, too. But soon you'll learn what hundreds of thousands of her followers already know - this chick has major style.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sandra is a London-based blogger who originally hails from Helsinki, Finland. She moved to London to attend fashion school and created the blog <a href="http://www.5inchandup.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">5 Inch and Up</a> in 2010 to share her personal style with the world. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">We are huge fans of her amazing personal style - she's feminine, innovative and sexy but not overtly so. Basically, we want to BE her. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Sandra spends much of her time collecting shoes, handbags, jewelry, dresses (you name it). Lest you begin to think she's simply a shop-o-holic - rest assured - it's not simply consumption. In our eyes, she's an artist. She has a way of blending patterns, prints and textures into one, cohesive style statement. If you've ever stared into your closet and felt defeated, I'm sure you know how difficult getting dressed can be.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another reason to love her? For Sandra, it's not the label that matters. If an item is unique, and plays well with others, it might make the cut. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Obsession aside, we are incredibly honored to see Sandra with one of our big-ass <a href="http://shop.graylingjewelry.com/product/celestial-necklace" target="_blank">crystal necklaces</a> around her neck. We are smitten by <a href="http://5inchandup.blogspot.com/2012/01/crystallized.html" target="_blank">Sandra's entire outfit</a> - the frilly collar, the soft hues, the peplum skirt. She looks<i> good</i>. No surprise.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thanks, Sandra, you wear it so well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">xx</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

And we are proud to be a part of it!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">If you want to line up outside a big box store at 3am, make sure you wear your mittens! The Little Boxes open at 10am. If you're looking for crowds and fist fights over toys, there's bound to be a big box out there where you can get in on that. The Little Boxes don't really do fist fights. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The big boxes will feature the big brands and the big marketing and those robot massage chairs lined up in the hallway. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The folks at the Little Boxes have filled their shelves with the lesser known brands: that line from the Netherlands, that clever thing for your kitchen, those awesome boots. Products they've researched, dug around for, and believe in. And while the Little Boxes don't have robots giving massages, they'd probably give you a hug if you asked.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We're the Little Boxes, and we're proud to invite you into our stores. We work hard to create an experience you won't find in bigger boxes. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Here's <a href="http://www.littleboxespdx.com/" target="_blank">all the details</a>. We look forward to seeing you Friday morning. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">When the move was complete, we'd created a new <a href="http://graylingjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/01/inside-grayling-showroom.html">showroom space</a> to feature our jewelry collection in its entirety. The addition of a showroom allowed us to efficiently meet with wholesale buyers.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">An area tucked behind the showroom became our new production workshop.

The high-polished shine of white metal is mellowed by the matte texture of the opposite side of the ring.

With prices ranging from approximately $800 to over $92,000 (yes, that's 5 figures) a pair of glasses from the new Bulgari collection are a splurge for most. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But the prices are in some ways, justifiable. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The price of gold closed at a <a href="http://wallstreetpit.com/79601-should-we-care-about-the-price-of-gold">record high of over $1600 per ounce</a> earlier this week. Adornments of sapphires and diamonds crank the price tag up even more. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But are these glasses a wise investment? Not if you break your glasses all the time like I do.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
