Hello Friends,

Those that are in on my on Facebook status updates, or follow me on Twitter, already know, but I just want to take a moment to let all of the loyal readers of Style 360 know that I have made the tough decision to leave JCK.

Over the next year I will be studying for the LSAT (so if you know anyone in admissions anywhere, tell them how great I am) and finishing up the last two semesters of my Master's Degree at Pratt Institute's School of Information and Library Science.

It truly has been a pleasure being a small part of the jewelry industry and gettting to meet many of the great people that make up this close-knit community.

If anyone would like to keep in touch you can find me on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, LinkedIn, MySpace ... the list goes on.

Ever Yours,
bm2

Say it ain't so Bacilio! Who is going to give me a rundown on the jewelry at the VMA's? Well?

I met Bacilio in Vegas, it was my first Vegas well, and we had a good laugh at the spectacle of it all. But more importantly I was thankful to see another young person that was so commited to helping out retailers and giving a younger perspective a voice in a very stodgy industry. I am just getting on my feet, as I took over the family business after the sudden passing of my father, and as someone in their late twenties, the Style 360 Blog and JCK as a whole has been very helpful. I agree with all of the commenters here, you will be missed Bacilio, and to be honest I was worried this blog would just fizzle out without you, but it looks like Ms. Rumore is stepping up on the blog front. I'll be sure to find you on Facebook, Myspace is a bit much for me, and I encourage more jewelers to get on the internet bandwagon!
