Accessory Review: Ice.com!
CC just received an absolutely gorgeous package (with an even more lovely pendant inside!) from jewelry store Ice.com, an amazing site for BLING. CC selected this gorgeous Blue Topaz Horseshoe Pendant on a delicate White Gold Chain. CC has always wanted a horseshoe necklace since Carrie wore one on “Sex and the City” and was delighted to acquire this one because it has sparkling blue topaz (CC’s birthstone – yay Scorpio!). A special thanks to Nadia! Ice.com has a multitude of amazing pieces like this one… Visit here asap, darlings!

    Oh my god. I want them ALL! I've been seeing these really cool ones at Aldo that make me think of like rosary beads, which is weird. Some of them have ikons and things. I know it's a little weird that they're marketing Jesus haha but the style is beautiful!

    Definitely, some beautiful pieces. Some look as if the whole dress is part of the neclace.

    I think I want to make more jewelry..some how. I do like the chunky stuff.

    It's odd how something so simple can transform a basic outfit such as a white tee and jeans. I love the Fiona Paxton and Dannijo necklaces :)

    My favourite fashion photographer at the moment is Tim Walker, after which Mario Testino and Terry Richardson battle it out for second place :) Going back a bit, David Bailey and Helmut Newton are always an inspiration, and although not fashion related, Anselm Adams was the pinnacle of a landscape photographer!

    I just adore long necklaces. I especially enjoy layering them on top of another! Surprisingly I really like the Baby Phat necklaces - I'm a big fan of rosary inspired necklaces :) I also love the Bottega Veneta!

    Congrats on your gift, darling. That necklace looks lovely!

    Good to know the bib isn't as worthwhile an investment _though still fairly classic, no?

    I haven't gotten the hang of long necklaces yet...I feel it looks overwhelming on me but maybe I'll experiment come Summer!

    oh good trend coverage! like so much to gush over it's silly! you do it everytime..to clever miss. I love how all of these necklaces are so different..there aren't many which resemble eachother, which is great to see!

    thanks for your comment! yes i do think about it...but i am not good at having attention on myself..plus adel (Where i live) doesn't have much to offer work wise..i would need to move interstate and i have NO money or family support with funds..so makes things difficult! but i am open to the idea..would be a dream job in my eyes! literally, would make my world!

    hope you are well honey. much love as always
