Leather string thing

Just a quickie: here's the leather string thing I got from ebay after I became obsessed (and then unobsessed in the same 24 hour period!) with having a lovelink necklace.

Today is the first day I've worn it; and that was for the 5 minute 'photo shoot'.


It's not bad. It's just not me. Debating whether I should get some glass beads to jazz it up, or cut my losses now.

What were you shortly obsessed with and then wish you didn't bother spending money on? Comment below.

not enough love...

Hello!

Well, after I posted my last entry my fingers were just itching to get onto some lovelinks action BUT though I like to shop shop shop I am not totally stupid so instead of getting the lovelinks or a string I did the next best thing....I got a lovelinks copy aka FAKE. YAY!

[Above image: not the one I got, I think it's a genuine.

I'm sure this is just a fad of mine that I will quickly get bored of so I think I've made a good decision...I guess I'll know by this time next week (free p+p so I'm not expecting it to get here super fast but who knows!)

So all I need now is a pendant/charm of some sort. As I haven't really worn a necklace type thing before I have no idea what to go for, plus I have the harder task of rocking a piece of leather. I'm sure a wolf tooth would go with the leather but I'm not really a wolf tooth type of girl....

I have two ideas in my head:
look 1 = cute and quirky; which I could wear on Saturdays so just about anything would go. At least I don't need to worry about a colour palette as I'm usually in black or cream.
look 2 = pretty and sophisticated; this would be for work and is a toughie as my work clothes wouldn't be an obvious choice but I'm sure I'll think of something........I dunno....

Below is a scrabble tile pendant. Pixie Lott wore one in a MV and it's cute, def a Saturday charm, what do you think?


Next is my cute frog! The image is not accurate, I just google searched this one as the ebay one is protected or something; only problem with froggy is that he'll probably be upside down most of the time...

And then I've got my elephant. There are some really gorgeous one's on the market, but quite pricey so I'd have to get something plain like this...or maybe wait for my birthday?



And lastly, how cool is this?! It's a Miss Piggy pendant, one of a kind supposedly. But at a starting bid price of £18 I will never be wearing this, it's just not worth it for a fad :( But hey, if I end up rocking my leather string for 5 years then I will get this if it's still around!


Ok boy I need to get myself offline cos a) I'll be bankrupt with nothing to show but a handful of beads and b) it's frigging 1am and I wanted to be at work for 8am.

Goodnight folks xoxo

lovelinks

I want to talk about my new obsession: LOVELINKS.

Here is a link if you don't know about lovelinks (I didn't until yesterday!)

http://www.lesterandbrown.com/p1325-lovelinks-gold-plated-90cm-black-leather-necklacebracelet-ref-0732334-90.html

Background: So basically I can't wear (most) jewelry. I'm allergic to just about all metals and even gold gets me all itchy and stainless steel (watch backs) is a no no for me also, which is a shame. I can wear my darling pearls as there is no metal; my necklace has a silver clasp but it's a really cute chunky one so i wear it to the front so that it rests on my clothes and not on my skin. Anyway, for some reason last night I just really really wanted a bracelet or/and necklace so I was looking up leather bracelets/necklaces on ebay and came across a 90cm leather lovelinks necklace for £15. I thought that was a bit steep because you can get just a long leather 'thong' for £2 so I googled lovelinks and BAM my life as I knew it changed (RRP £25 btw).

My dilemma now is: do I just get a £2 thing or a rip off £25 thing, only difference being is the lovelinks 'polo' at the end of the string...the polo that I'm allergic too? I know it doesn't seem much of a dilemma but I swear to god I could not sleep last night I was fretting about it loads.

The nice thing about the lovelinks is that I would be able to wear it without any charms/pendants but if i got a 'string' then I would have to put something in it.

Is it sad for a girl to buy her own 'jewelry'?

And randomly, if I ever do find someone to marry I won't be able to wear my engagement/wedding ring....unless I string it onto my lovelinks!!!!!!
