I was thrilled by how glamorous she looks. Those big shades are just right with that cut. And I had to agree with her comment, “I think my new do really shows off the jewelry, don’t you??” Hell, yeah! Melissa is one of my most devoted clients. The three pieces she’s wearing here are just a small part of her Wendy Brandes collection. When I dropped off her “M” Boleyn Necklace last month<\/a>, she said, “It’s art!” You can’t imagine how honored I was to hear that. In addition to the Boleyn<\/a>, she’s wearing the Papessa Necklace<\/a> and the Clemence Ring in black spinel and rock crystal<\/a>. (Those earrings are not mine. Gotta do something about that.)<\/p>\n Now that you’ve had a few moments to admire Melissa’s new ‘do, she wants you to know that this style wasn’t a mere fashion decision. Melissa is being treated for breast cancer, and even the “light” chemo causes hair to thin, so she felt a short cut would be easier to handle. I asked Melissa if she wanted me to avoid mentioning the cancer here and she said, “No, let people know! If one person gets a mammogram they’ve been putting off, it’s worth it!” (What a change from this experience<\/a>.) So listen to Melissa, ladies, and take care of your health.<\/p>\n
