For Me, For You Exclusive Necklace for Target’s Red Hot Shop
I’m terrible at keeping secrets, and while I’ve told most of my close friends and family, it’s hard keeping such a project up my sleeve from you, dear readers! I’m very excited to finally reveal the project that consumed my life not too long ago – an exclusive necklace for Target.com’s Red Hot Shop! The Red Hot Shop is a boutique on Target.com done in partnership with Daily Candy. The necklace is a double strand – one overdyed strand of blues, greens, and greys, and one strand of grey. On Sunday, July 4th, there will be 100 necklaces available to purchase on Target.com (now available!). I know the timing isn’t ideal for those of you in the US with it being a holiday, but the quantity is much much larger than my usual shop updates and of only one type of necklace, so I don’t expect them to sell out as quickly as usual. Once they’re online I’ll post a link here, on twitter, and send out an email announcement to my subscribers. I’m sorry I can’t give you a specific time!
Thank you to my friends for putting up with my absence in life, Lauren Yakatan for helping me make a few of the necklaces during a moment of pure panic, Billy for never once complaining that I pretty much ignored him for a month and made necklaces during every singe movie we watched in April, and seasons 1, 2, and 3 of Friday Night Lights for keeping me sane through it all. What would I have done without my boyfriend #2, Tim Riggins?
Thank you everyone for your support and stay tuned Sunday! Update: Here’s the link!
UPDATE: Some questions answered!

Well, I have the same excitement/well wishings as others…I’ve never met you and you don’t know me, but I’m still super chuffed for you and oddly proud. I’m sure that you never thought you would have an opportunity to do something for target/daily candy. Or well maybe you did. And then well done and seeing to your dreams…!
