Recent Jewellery Purchases

 I didn't get round to putting this post up last night like I said I would because I spent the majority of my evening/night having a domestic over the phone with my girlfriend be we pretty much ended up solving all of our problems so I'm glad that it happened. So here are my most recent jewellery buys, and 1 is from topshop, 1 from a charity shop, and the last 2 are from miss selfridge in the sale.

 I have wanted these skull earrings for some time now but just didn't really want to spend £6.50 on a pair of earrings that only look good as a pair, and because of my tunnel (which I have taken out now), I would only be able to wear one, but when i saw that they were half price, I sort of had to buy them. My tunnel has closed up quite a bit and I only took it out roughly 2 weeks ago. It was only stretched to 10mm so of course it would close fast. These skull earrings are quite heavy so I don't want to wear them yet cause they'll just make my ear sag and look pat butcher-esque.

 For about 3 years now (ever since I did my art GCSE exam where I decided to create a shell the size of a child for my final piece), I have had a real love for scallop shells. I am planning on getting a tattoo of one either on one of my fingers or on my arm. So, whenever I see a piece of jewellery that has any type of scallop shell imagery on it, I almost feel compelled to buy it. So I was in a charity shop with my girlfriend, and we were looking at all of the ornament and jewellery cabinets, and then i saw these gorgeous earrings! I'm not planning on wearing them with that many shells still attached to the earring, because that would look slightly ridiculous, I mean I know I love them, but I don't want to look OTT, so I'm planning on making a necklace with the excess shells that I remove. 

 I've been wanting a hand harness for a while now, but just haven't been prepared to spend £10 on a flimsy chain that I don't even know that I'll even wear a lot, so I saw this in the sale in miss selfridges, for wait, £1!! I literally could not believe it. There was no doubt about whether or not I was going to buy it. I have yet to wear it because it clashes with the rest of my gold jewellery, but on a night out I will definitely wear it as the statement piece of my hand/wrist jewellery. 

This was actually a head harness thing, but I thought that it would look lovely as a necklace and so cut off the middle chain which would have gone down the center of your head. I also took 2 of the crystal gems out of the middle link as I just thought it made it look a bit tacky. It doesn't look as nice close up apparently haha, but in r/l it does look really nice.

I'm In Love With A Priest

I'm an eBay keeno so of course heard about The Ragged Priest's shop on eBay and always lusted after their clothes. I felt that their prices were reasonable, seeing as they've reworked a lot of vintage items, but I just never bought anything from there. I actually have no idea why. I think maybe though that I like to see what the clothes items that I will be buying are like in person, so I can fee the fabric and then I'll know what the quality of all the items will be. I found out that they had a concession in the Topshop on Oxford street and so knew that I would have to make a trip their at some point. I went the other day with some friends as I always forgot to check out the concessions when I go to that Topshop, as the shop is like an adventure and I always usually stay by the jewellery and spend all of my money there.

So I finally went to the concession section and literally could not believe what I was seeing. There were 3 rails filled with clothes that I now know that when I get paid I will be owning. I ended up buying only one thing as I'm meant to be saving money to pay my holiday deposit but I couldn't let it pass me by.

This gorgeous simple sleeveless tee was £25 but with my friends student discount it ended up being £22.50 which I think is crazy cheap, being that this tee is perfect. I'm planning to wear it with either leather fronted trousers, or leather/PU leggings and my Topshop Lion Wedges. That's of course for a more 'party' look.

I went on their website last night however and I saw that the dress that I had been wanting for a while now, was still on sale! I couldn't not buy it. It was originally £45 reduced by half! (£22.50) There was no way that I could leave it as I know that I would regret it. I've been selling some items on eBay so I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to get the money back.

It's just such a stunning dress. The spikes on the shoulder straps are what sells it for me. I cannot wait to wear it on a night out! The only problem that I see with it, is that it only came in one size, 8-10, and I would normally buy a size 12 just because I don't like things to cling to me. But the tee that I bought i supposed to be one size as well a size, 8-10-12, but it's more of a 14 I would say, so I'm just hoping that it's a bit bigger. It does looks a bit 'baggy' on the model so I'm hopeful.

Last night I also bought Sleigh Bells tickets for me and a friend. They were £12 each and I was so gutted that i didn't buy the London show tickets in time so I'm having to go to Brighton just for the night to see them, because that was the closest date to where we live. I'm so excited cause I've loved Sleigh Bells for a while now. If you haven't listened to them before, or don't even know who they are, well, what's wrong with you!! firstly, aha, but yes definitely give them a listen. Their new album comes out on the 21st of this month I think. I'd suggest listening to 'Rill Rill', 'Run The Heart', and 'Comeback Kid'. My favourites are 'Crown On The Ground', 'Born To Lose' and 'Rachel'.
