$100 Work the Metal Giveaway + What I Love

I’m hosting a very fun Work the Metal giveaway over on Instagram.  Naturally, I stopped by so that I could show you all the fun new arrivals they have in store.  If you’re not familiar with Work the Metal, it’s one of my favorite Louisville boutiques that stocks tons of fun jewelry, hostess gifts, decor items, and clothes.
