There are only 15 days left until this year's Bazaar and we're getting excited. We have piles and piles of beautiful rugs, baskets, pillows stacked all over the office, which makes coming to work that much more exciting (and staying focused at work that much harder). Every time we pick a favorite, something new pops up and steals our hearts. We can't imagine how Suzy and Betsy managed to sort through the thousands of items available from the vendors at the Tucson Gem Show to bring back these select goods.
Suzy and Betsy are our resident style gurus, so if anyone could pick the best of the best, it would be them. Suzy is our retail buyer, aka the mastermind behind non-betsy & iya things sold. Betsy's had her house featured on Apartment Therapy before, so clearly she knows interior design as well as she knows jewelry design. Together these two are able to find the most stylish items at the Tucson Gem Show and bring them back for the rest of us to enjoy. Take a look at our gurus in action down below!
