Lisa Marie Presley’s life and legacy was honored on Sunday morning at an emotional memorial service held at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.
Among the many celebrities and famous figures who spoke during the livestreamed event was Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, a longtime friend of Lisa Marie.

John Mayer has a new jewelry line, and it couldn't capture his essence more than it does. The pieces are a collab with George Frost and are available in the merch section of his website. It looks as if there are five pieces total, ranging from beaded necklaces to woven bracelets. The whole thing screams summer camp with a dash of Coachella and a sprinkle of incense. It's also very reminiscent of middle school puka shells, which, considering everyone's obsession with nostalgia, he might be onto something. The line is perfect for those gentle and sensitive souls, like that questionable hot guy who plays acoustic guitar in the middle of your college courtyard. Honestly, we're into these, simply because...
