Plenty of Parentheses
I'm procrastinating. Surprise, surprise! To be fair, I'm suffering a little bit with what I'm (not so) fondly calling "Final Year Fatigue". It's really just general all-round tiredness and feeling a bit rundown but I love me some catchy alliteration! So instead of tapping away trying to redraft my essays whilst I'm not feeling 100%, I thought I'd turn my attention to some things far less academically tiring (and, if I'm being honest, much nicer to look at than articles on sonnets!)

I've been quite good with purchases recently and have been trying not to spend too much money on clothing for myself with Christmas just around the corner. Still, I am finding myself being drawn more and more to the collections of long line necklaces every time I have a quick browse online. Now I love high, chunky necklaces. I think they're so versatile and great to wear both during the day and out at night. However, I also love a collar and recently I've been feeling that a longer style necklace would just revamp a couple of my favourite shirt/jumper combos. So I've browsed around and found a few of my faves. 
From top left clockwise: i. Topshop | ii. Topshop | iii. Zara
iv.  Asos | v. New Look

Now I love all of theses a lot but I feel like the Zara necklace needs a special mention (and also a special place on my dressing table!) because I don't think I have ever wanted to buy something more in my life! It has everything I love in life: the classic pearl, the mix & match colour scheme, the edgy impact of the skulls, spikes and pins.. what more can I say? I think I actually love it! I'm even considering asking for it for Christmas!

Or, in other words, how to put a sting into spring.

1. one 
2. two 
 3. three
4. four
5. five

I love, love, love that Spring has finally decided to make an appearance but that does not mean I'm leaping straight into summer dresses and frilly bikinis. So how better to toughen up a nice, bright outfit than with a couple of well placed studs and spikes?
 
New Look have got a great range of chunky necklaces in at the moment and I've been searching for a nice, spiky gold one to wear with an outfit I'm planning on wearing to an upcoming ball at uni. I love the blue triangle one but the colour would clash with what I'm wearing so I'm keeping an eye out for any others that take my fancy. If that fails, I'm definitely considering popping into Topshop to see if the spiky ball earrings are in store - such an easy way to go from girly to down-right gangsta. Nearly.
 
 
I'm sorry for such a short post - the first week back at uni is always a bit of a busy one and I'm trying really hard to get into a solid fitness regime which I'm looking forward to blogging about soon. Hope everyone else is having weather as nice as I've had the last few days - it makes everything seem so much better.
