When I was fourteen I was writing bad poetry in my diary, praying that I would lose weight before high school started, and dreaming about my latest crush. Linda Manizaris is not your typical fourteen-year-old, she’s combined her passion for designing jewelry and helping others to start up her own business. Body Bijou is Linda’s online uniqued handmade jewelry store whose motto Look Good, Feel Good and Do Good is something we can definitely stand behind. Her jewelry (ringalets, necklaces, body and hip chains, etc) is chic, edgy and it even supports a great cause. Linda is an inspiration to us here at Chic Darling, it’s no wonder why she is our youngest Darling of the Week.
