Tattoo!

So last night I got to thinking about tattoo's (yeah, I went to bed thinking about that gorge Anna Lou tattoo necklace *sigh*). I have always wanted one, but haven't really got round to it. Mainly because part of me thinks that getting a tattoo would kind of be like getting an accessory that you have to wear every day for the rest of your life. I wouldn't wear the same necklace every day, so it kind of puts me off a little. So I decided to have a look to see if I could get my hands on some tattoo style necklaces.

I already have this one from my ultimate fave www.ladyluckrulesok.com :


Which is now apparently sold out, bad times... It was an 18th birthday present from one of my bestest friends =)

But I want moooooooooore!!

I found this etsy shop: SwallowKisses which is fantastic. Top three:



They do have other stuff besides swallows, but I do love me a bit of swallow tattoo inspired jewellery. Also, check out some of the non-necklace stuff too! I <3 this cuff...



Definately gonna order me some stuff off there today methinks =)

I also found this place: www.bowandcrossbonesshop.com which has a few tattoo inspired necklaces which I love and aren't swallows!!



Very nice indeed =)

Interchangable, non-permanent tattoo's ftw!!

Peace,

Lilly xoxo

New Love!

I fell in love today =) No, not with a human being, don't be silly. I have new necklace love!! Trawling around on the internet and I discovered, probably belatedly, feel free to laugh at me, the wonderful Anna Lou. Check her out: www.annalouoflondon.co.uk/

The hard part is choosing my favouritest necklace of the bunch! Although this is made slightly easier by a lot of them being sold out =( Bad times... So I picke a top three, but there is so much loveliness on this site so go check it out!!



The Tattoo one is my ultimate fave, its soooo amazing but at £34 I haven't quite made the plunge just yet!! But watch this space ;)

Oh, and I guess its not all about the necklaces! (What? I know, apparently other things exist too! Crazy....) I love love love these two too!


Om...nom...nom... =D

Lots of Love,

Lilly xoxo

The search is over!!!

Ok, so I have a bit of an obsession. With necklaces. And when I say a bit of an obsession, I mean a lot of an obsession.
Lately, I have be on a hunt. For a necklace. Specifically, an 'I love Paris' necklace. Now, there are a lot of these things around, but I was looking for; something specific, and it can be so hard o find exactly what I want, and for a student budget price!

So, first stop was my favourite necklace shopping destination, www.ladyluckrulesok.com . I'm not kidding, I must have like 50 pieces from this site. I will count one day... But yeah, the necklace. Lady Luck never fails to disapoint, and had a tres cute offering:



Unfortunately, not quite right. Eiffel Tower = fantastic. Black heart and bow are cute in a kind of punky way, but at £12, it just wasn't... special enough (told you I was on a strict budget). So, time to move on.

Next stop, www.punkypins.co.uk . Dont really have a great deal of stuff from here, not that I don't want it all. Again, budget issues etc. The paris necklace:

Its a perspex wonder! And I adore perspex jewelry. Especially mirrored perspex jewellery. It is gorge... however, Lilly is picky once more. Its this necklace that makes me realise I want something a bit more vintage looking. Don't get me wrong, I do love this necklace. Pink is always an attractive factor, (I <3 pink!!), mirrored perspex is a bonus, and the J'taime, although kinda hard to read in a way, is so cute! But I guess its a bit modern if you're looking for something vintage, so I move on.

And then I found it.

Product of a random and exhaustive google search. Its cute, vintage looking, and an ok price! However, it was out of stock when I found it, so.... had a bit more of a look round. and found........

Whats that, the same necklace? For £2.49???? MADNESS!!! *Throws in shopping cart* Also found cute vintage heart studs for £1 which will look sooooooo cute with it!

And postage? Just £1.50 no matter how much you order. Get in! Quest over!! Perfect necklace found, and at a great price and a few extra treats =)

Unfortunately, search led to me finding a few extra items that I now really really want:


 sooo cute an kitsch!

absolutely amazing Paris necklace, a bit expensive, might treat myself for the end of exams. This site has loads more completely gorge jewelry, a tad expensive but worth it!

And finally, if I had the money, this is the perfect item of Paris related jewelry....



*sigh*.... one can dream.

Peace, till I next time
