The Love List Spreads the Love with Milly and Krystal Sasso

I die. I DIE. It's no secret I love, love, love Milly. I have a veritable collection of dresses growing in my closet and I can see that this spring I am going to have to save my pennies so I can get my hands on more of these fantastic frocks. Remember my post on Michelle Smith's gorgeous Manhattan apartment?

Here is something even cooler; remember my post on my friend Krystal Sasso? To refresh, she is a jewelry designer in Palm Beach whose stuff I fell in love with when I saw it in a local boutique on the island. I mean really, look at it:

So naturally, since I love to wear both of these things, I mentioned to Krystal that she should get in touch with Michelle Smith's camp because her jewelry would look great on her runways. I had been in touch with Milly's PR people before, specifically the super-sweet Jennifer at Laforce + Stevens, (who so kindly invited me down to Saks of Palm Beach for a fashion show and interview with Michelle when I was a wee bitty starter blog) so I passed along her name to Krystal, who emailed Jennifer about her line.

Cut to NY Fashion week - KRYSTAL'S JEWELRY WAS ALL OVER THE MILLY RUNWAY! How amazing is that? She met with Michelle Smith several times and Krystal told me it was amazing. What a good feeling to know I helped!

Moral of the story is this - no favor is too small, and no idea, even passing, is a bad one if it helps someone - especially a talented friend.
