Trendspotting: Necklaces that Go to Great Lengths

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!

i got a necklace like this yesterday, sooooo excited about it!

Anonymous said...

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!

I love pretty much all of these. They are really stunning. Thanks for sharing these with us. Take care. Hope you've been having a great weekend. Cheers!

Fab post...shoow, I kind of love most of them:)

Fifi Flowers said...

Adore all these necklaces! Accessories are divine!

Ohh, fabulous! I adore long necklaces, and they are the only kind I wear! I'm especially excited to layer lots of chains this spring, but first I need to buy some.

I'm totally not a jewelry person, but I definitely look for one great statement piece.

Cait said...

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.

Syed said...

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 :)

Camille said...

Love golden necklaces. :)

Tina { Luphia Loves... } said...

i love a statement necklace! these are a beautiful selection!

Syed said...

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!

Allison said...

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!

Graça Ventura Medeiros said...

Siru said...

A BIT COQUETTISH said...

Such gorgeous necklaces =]

I love the new header!

Wanderlusting said...

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!

Daniela Valdez said...

I just bought one yesterday! I love them!!

erika sorocco said...

I so love long necklaces. I just bought a 36-inch owl pendant necklace from Forever 21, and it has become my new best friend. Fabulous post, as usual! :)

STEFANIE said...

Need one now! ^-^

zoe aka drinkupthefashion said...

i love long necklaces. they're so amazing! i bought this really funky long necklace from f21 a while ago, and i've only been able to wear it once or twice but i'm definitely going to try and wear it more. starting this week!

thanks so much for your compliments! i appreciate them so much :)

wow, that horseshow is so blinged out and shiny. i could stare at it for quite some time (and i did, for like...5 minutes before i commented).

said...

The bigger and more unique the necklace, the better. I buy coat hooks to keep all of mine in order (ethnic, chunky, beaded, statement, etc) I adore your inspiration!

Albino had the most stunning necklaces of the season, along with Lanvin! Givenchy must get credit for really introducing this as a trend/staple.

oh I love them all ...I have a vintage yellow and black long bauble and just haven't figured out just how to wear it yet ...hopefully soon ;)

T said...

I AM LOVING ALL OF THIS NECKLACE PORN. Ahh! I'm in love. I need to go shopping!

Annabel Wendt (LoveMore) said...

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

Anika said...

Hey CC :)

Love the pendant you got, you lucky girl. I'm scorpio too.
Also, long necklaces/OTT chains/any form of extravagance when it comes to accessories is A-Ok with me.

Fab post, gorgeous :)
