Response by poster: Thanks; I tried that which gave me the general idea, but I wouldn't mind getting a better feel on sentences like "I also open it and other jewelry minutes, because I was afraid it would not."

The sentence that confused you merely means that "I keep it apart from my other jewelry, because I'm afraid I might lose it."
Other mistranslations: 'Guinness' is really her Chihuahua, and 'pungent' is 'hot', as in sexy.

Best answer: I'm not a professional, but here it goes.
22 year-old Mara Marini is an actress from California. Because of the demands of her job, she has just about every kind of style in her closet, from chic to business professional. She loves to dress up, and sometimes even dresses up her Chihuahua in a pink [something] so it's just as fashionable as her.
"Because of my job, I have a lot of different styles of clothes. I have cute jean miniskirts and I have an OL suit. All of these clothes take up a lot of space in my closet. Also, since I love to buy clothes, my closet is a complete mess. I wish I had a magic closet where I could just press a button and a matching outfit would come out. That would save me so much time."
"I really love Juicy Couture. I'll go on their site to buy clothes. Most of my jeans and dresses I all bought in a Mendocino store in Canada. When I go out shopping, I'll greedily want to buy everything I like. I don't like stuff like the Gap, which is so dull and which everyone wears. I prefer clothes with special designs or really bright colors."
"I have some special accessories, like this Christian Dior necklace. I always keep this one separate from my others, since I'm afraid I'll lose it. My other accessories I like to put in a big set of drawers. I have them separated into bracelets, large necklaces, small necklaces, etc."
Looking at Mara's shoes and bags, they all have very feminine designs. "Ever since I was little, I loved Madonna, the way she sexily dressed up. I love that style. So for my dream wardrobe, I'd love to have sexy outfits like that."
