Here I am, at my final week of a two month university holiday- it's actually gone by so quickly, and spending the majority of my week in Manly with Mark has been a big learning experience; living with someone else is a mixed bag, but it's brought us closer as best friends and as a couple. We have already started looking at properties in the area, and are planning for the next few months ahead.
Below is a snapshot of my jewellery purchases over the last few weeks. I liked how all these pieces fit together in their styles- it might just be because Spring is on it's way, but the pretty colours & delicate chains are my favourite for the coming season.
Cobalt Semi Precious Lapis Gold Necklace- Lovisa
The photo really doesn't do the Lapis patter justice at all! I've always liked the semi precious stone look- amethyst, rose quartz, opal- all favourites of mine. This pendant is loose inside the U-bend frame and hanging off a medium length chain. I would style this gorgeous colour with a white blouse and leather pants with gold accessories.
Cobalt Semi Precious Lapis Gold Faceted Pendant- Lovisa
This photo was taken quite close up, so it does look large but in reality it's about the size of a five cent piece. It's on a long fine gold chain and is a cute necklace to match with the above pendant.
Cobalt Semi Precious Lapis Gold Ring- Lovisa
This is more of a statement ring, it is quite large but again with the colour- this one has gold marble through it and blue and gold in my opinion are a winning combination. I really like the oblong shape of it too, very different.
Turquoise Double Arrow Pendant- Lovisa
I totally blame the Catching Fire trailer for these arrow related purchases! The mint colour is a favourite of mine, and reminds me of something you'd wear with a paisley print.
Turquoise Aztec Arrow Gold Pendant- Lovisa
This reminded me of something you'd find on a totem pole & something military related- all of which makes me happy.
Gold Linked Knot Pendant- Lovisa
I love this because it made me think of something my grandmother would wear- it's elegant and on a very long chain and looks great with a simple outfit. Black, white and gold are always a winning combination.
Luxe Links Pink Rosette Chain Bracelet
I've had my eye on this for a while & finally caved- I love the layered up look with a statement watch, and this bracelet is just enough to style it. And the little roses are cute and ready made for Spring.
Indie Tote in Black- Sportsgirl
I met up with a friend of mine a few weeks ago and she had this bag with her & it's such a good sized staple piece. It's beyond spacious and fits everything I would need every day.
And lastly, I saw this very pretty sight when I was walking to work. This is half the reason I love being in Manly- the locals love their succulents!
Long post today, hope you're having an awesome day, and don't forget to appreciate the beautiful things around you. Take heaps of pretty pictures & keep them forever.
Stay tuned. x
