Thursday, June 26

I have fond memories of raiding my grandmothers wardrobe as a child, having been a fan of 'dressing up', with a specific desire for jewellery. I would pile it on, whether it be silver, gold, pearls, or simple rings, and i would love it. Since then, i have continued on my magpie-esque love of jewellery, and now i admit, i am obsessed. 60% of what i buy is jewellery, often from small boutiques near my aunt's house. However, now i fear my love for jewels has spiralled out of control.
Grandma's Jewellery perfection: Mui-Mui's Jumble sale necklace. And at £155 a pop, i guess this delight will only ever appear in my dreams...
Oh Net-A-Porter, why do you have such painful allure...?

I looove all these big, chunky necklaces - Lanvin, YSL, the ones at Net-a-P . . . adore them all!

The Clothes Horse said...

The necklace is so random, shiny, and wonderful. I adore.

Modelizer said...

I feel like you could totally make that on your own or probably find a look alike at topshop. There's nothing on that necklace that's worth 155, aside from the Miu Miu name. haha

Thanks for the commenting. Yeah, Gordy has to be my favorite too..I keep hearing lines as Scott M. Foster would say them.

I loved the chunky neclace. I wonder if I could make something like that.

I like jeweleries (?) but I hardly ever wear them, except for some cheap, colourful bracelets, but still I tend to spend money on necklaces and such.

Carolina Lange said...

I adore the necklace!

Lauren said...

I love that necklace, but I'm sure you could find one similar or make your own. But I totally get what you mean, I hate lusting over something that would put a major dent in my wallet.

Sinead said...

I love your blog! Very cool. I love the necklace, it's so unique.

I would love to link exchange, let me know!

That necklace is beautiful! I loved dressing up when I was little too.

Laurel said...

That is such a beautiful, eccentric piece - but it's so simple at the same time.

Net-a-porter is the death of me, I spend way too much time on that thing....

Thank you for the wonderful comment, dear!!

I used to do that in a chest my mother had. I would wear more than 10 pearl necklaces... it was fun

Cate said...

hey, what a coincidence! you are lusting after a miu miu necklace--and i am craving a miu miu bag! which is of course even further out of my reach than the necklace ^^

I really love those chunky necklaces - especially the Marni ones.

coco said...

It is very pretty. There is a good sale on at Net-A-Porter at the moment!

Cuz we all were youngers

Kat said...

Oh I know what you mean! I am a jewellery obsessive! I truely believe it makes an outfit but from years of experimenting I have finally learnt that one should not go overboard!
Gorgeous necklace.

Jill said...

It looks like someone broke apart a bunch of necklaces and glued them onto one chain, in a good way. I like it, but the price is not quite as nice.

Siobhan said...

i think the closest i shall ever get to this necklace is dreaming also!
I buy too much jewellery for my own good and love vintage markets and little boutqiues for finding quircky things

STYLE DU MONDE said...

Adorable necklace! I would love one :-)

Dapper Kid said...

Super super necklace! And don't feel guilty about jewelry, it's technically an investment, if you're ever a grandmother, your grand daughter will be lucky!!!

atelier said...

looks very nice. Maybe you can save a bit and buy it, it's really cool!

Secretista said...

I love it. It's a wonderful surprise.

Sunniva said...
