30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No. 7

Well today is going to be a double bill as I didn't have time to post yesterday. I was a very busy lady at the moment, I managed to get my cakes stacked up and added the ribbon, today I have to make all the sugar flowers, which will take most of my day! After the cake decorating I had a nap and then me and the other half (I say that yet we haven't made it official yet!) headed down to Brighton to meet some friends for dinner.

Yesterday Brighton hosted its annual Pride celebrations, the city was bustling with tens of thousands of people - 150,000 people in Preston Park alone! As we made it down late we didn't see any of the parade or go to Preston park but we did see lots of dressed up people milling around, including many many hen parties, and the stag party for the cake I'm doing for next Saturday (small world eh!). Anyhow after a great little cheap and cheerful Japanese meal in on of my favourite cafes - Pompoko in the North Lanes we headed to the pub for a few drinks and then to the pier for donuts. Here is a fairly bad photo of me at the pier! Including exhibit no. 7 - an Accessorise necklace...

...and some close ups of the necklace, again not that good but the light isn't very good at the moment.

30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No.6

Happy Friday! I am so glad it is the weekend, this week has been very long! I will be spending my weekend finishing off a wedding cake that I am making for a friend however, tonight I am enjoying sitting on the sofa with the other half watching TV and eating cheesecake!

Anyway on to necklaces! Today I decided to step away from the red and pink tones of the week and into a lovely blue hue! I often pick my necklace before my clothes (sometimes I even buy tops to go with accessories!) today I picked this necklace and then found an outfit to go with it! This little gem is from Accessorise which has to be my favourite shop. This necklace again got a comment on how nice it was!

30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No.5

Well its time to step things up a little (and to prove I don't just own round one-colour bead sets!) This one is from New look and always gets compliments when I wear it, including today whilst buying lunch!

30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No.4

Today has been a busy one! I have had a long day at work, followed by the Gym, followed by tea out, followed by a movie! Anyway I guess this look follows on from yesterday in that it is dotty and plastic (I swear I do own actual metal necklaces! bear with me) Without further a do (because I'm very tired) here is no 4! apologies its a self portrait the other half is out at WNBC (Wednesday night beer club, AKA the pub!)

30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No. 3

I hope you are all well, we have had some sunshine here today which always makes me feel happy!

Onwards to number 3! This photo was taken this morning before I went off to work, hence looking a little bleary eyed here! This is one of my favourite necklaces, I bought it from e-bay in a job lot for 99p, I think it is a 60's one as it has no fastener and the string looks 'vintage'! It goes with lots of outfits especially this one as I think it works with the neckline well. A white string of beads is such a good thing to have in your jewelery box as they can freshen up any outfit, even a mostly black one like here.

Anyhow not sure where number 4 will take me but I may even push the boat out and try a different pose!

30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No. 2

Onwards to no 2, this one is a home made necklace and although it is a fairly understated affair it matches the red colour in this top perfectly!

I bought these beads in a little shop in Brighton (all together in a bag!) then I uber-skilfully threaded them onto some string!

I was running a little late this morning so this photo was taken this evening after a very long day at work!

30 Necklaces in 30 Days - No.1

Hello lovely readers, I'm well chuffed to be up to 14 of you! (although, I'm somehow following myself- not sure how that happened!) Anyway I hope you had a good weekend, and thanks for following me! Any comments or thoughts will be greatly appreciated, so if you want to ask about anything feel free!

Anyway I have decided to save a few pennies this month and not buy anything new! (I am having a busy one and hopefully getting lots of chances to wear some nice clothes) So I thought I'd showcase my favourite fashion item - the necklace!

This is a bit of a homage to Bloomie over at 30 Dresses in 30 Days. Whilst I could never come close to 30 dresses, I can do 30 necklaces with phenomenal ease!

So to start with here is No 1. this necklace kicked off my obsession so seemed like the logical place to start! I love anything chunky, bright and plastic (my refinement knows no bounds!) so this one is perfect for me. When ever I am feeling a bit like I need an all black day (I'm sure you ladies know what I mean there!) I brighten it up with pretty coloured accessories!
