Coeur de Pirate - Comme des enfants

When a lack of a summer job for the first time in four years and thus, an overspill of empty hours threatens to haunt me, I do what any self-respecting girl would do; go shopping. Recently, jewellery seems to be my Achilles heel and I’ve obtained numerous necklaces and a few rings, all from Topshop. The necklaces are delicate, on short chains and can be layered to encircle my neck in pretty golden rings.

Two were bought in the sale for a mere £2 each (the “B” and the tiny glass ball, but ignore the ugly neon chain, I’m going to slip the B onto a simple gold one asap).

My skull necklace was £5 – reasonable for Topshop, though I’ve had to transfer it onto another chain because my 1st one broke AND so did the replacement!

I also ADORE my ring, as it was also only £2 (though it does make my finger a wee bit green).

Does anyone have any recommendations of cutesy jewellery shops? I’m on a glitzy roll! I want rings, necklaces, earrings, cuffs, anklets – THE LOT!

so i've very much been M.I.A, and i do apologise. things are changing so quickly and rapidly, that everything and everyone are merging into technicoloured swirls and spirals that it's leaving me rather confused and simaltaneously wanting to go backwards AND forwards.

as spring begins to flirt with summer and the days are longer and SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNER - heads hurt and hearts hurt. no fun at all!

so instead (because superficiality cures all), i'm going to focus my energies on building up stacks of silver and turquoise jewellery, starting with this pretty little piece from new look, which was only £9.99. i also bought a summery pink dress from new look, only, shamefully, it was an age 12 dress from the kiddie section as i am vertically challenged and generally rather small.

i suspect my collection could be given a quick boost with Alice's giveway, where you can win two pieces of jewellery from Regal Rose! I've already picked out this AMAZING skull ring, which if i don't win, i'm going get anyway cause it's so freakin' cool.

ps. sorry for the crappy webcam pictures, my brother has taken my usual camera to south africa where is busy playing with BABY LIONS AND THE LIKE. here are some pictures for you to squee over, all taken by him!
