The Naked Dress

I was so honored and surprised when Ayana, of The Naked Dress, contacted me via Twitter for an interview. The Naked Dress conducted a really fascinating interview on Miss Priss Jewels and I am excited to share it with you all. Be certain to check it out here.

Snippet from the interview: "Tell us a little bit about Kari: I’m married to my best friend, my husband. We can’t wait to celebrate our second wedding anniversary in August. I’m a total nerd and love learning. I have a Bachelors of Arts in English and African American studies and I have a Masters in Education. I’m also contemplating furthering my education to a doctorate or a second Masters degree. I have a passion for fashion! I appreciate all things unique. Whether it is jewelry, fashion, makeup, writing, art or whatever, really it is all the same to me. It allows me to express my creative liberties and break away from the norm. As a result, I admire genuine diversity. "

I love springtime. We had a long winter this year and I couldn't be any happier to wave goodbye to the snow. I've been head over heels for the China Glaze Crackle polishes. Pictured above I paired China Glaze Crackle with Broken Hearted and Sally Hansen Yellow Insta-Dry polish. I loved this combo.

I'm getting all excited for summertime too! I can't wait to get to a beach somewhere warm and break out my new bathing suit. Until that time comes, I'll just express myself through bright polish. About two nights ago I tried a nail tutorial I saw a Youtuber create. She did such an amazing job that I had to try it for myself. She said it reminded the of Lisa Frank from back in the day and I agree! What do you think?

Housekeeping!
I'm purposely try to keep costs down on Miss Priss Jewels so that our products are affordable for everyone. Recently, the USPS has increased their shipping and they are raising it once again at the end of the month. As a result our shipping will undoubtedly increase also. I will be adjusting shipping separately on our Etsy site to become flat rate and the prices on the website will be slightly higher to include shipping.

::Warning:: (rant) As Miss Priss Jewels grows, we get more attention. More often than not people reach out to Miss Priss Jewels seeking free products for reviews, conferences, giveaways and many other reasons. I am very generous and usually try to send people who inquire about our items jewelry for review. Unfortunately, I can no longer accommodate everyone who asks for jewelry. The requests are growing and simply do not fit in our budget. From now on items will be sent for review solely at our discretion. Otherwise people will need to purchase.
