Accessory Review: Ice.com!
CC just received an absolutely gorgeous package (with an even more lovely pendant inside!) from jewelry store Ice.com, an amazing site for BLING. CC selected this gorgeous Blue Topaz Horseshoe Pendant on a delicate White Gold Chain. CC has always wanted a horseshoe necklace since Carrie wore one on “Sex and the City” and was delighted to acquire this one because it has sparkling blue topaz (CC’s birthstone – yay Scorpio!). A special thanks to Nadia! Ice.com has a multitude of amazing pieces like this one… Visit here asap, darlings!
