Statement Necklace Craze

Hi All,

How are you guys going? I hope 2013 was good to you, hopefully 2014 will be better.

I hoping to blog a lot more this year, but I work all day in front of a PC and hate the thought of sitting in front of one in the evening – hope you understand.  But I am planning on getting back in to the swing of things. 

Firstly this year I would like to share a few statement necklaces I have purchased in the sales over the holidays. I don’t normally buy neck jewellery because I wear a Hijab and my neck in never on show. But that is the fantastic thing about these necklaces; they are long and big enough to wear under or even on top of you Hijab. I posted a few of these on my Instagram page, BobaleenaA – feel free to follow me – be aware that if you request to follow me but have zero posts of your own – you will not be accepted.

Anyway, let’s start; the first one I brought was one I had my eye on for a while. It’s from New Look, and I picked it up for £6. It is a very Asian style necklace.

The second one, is also from New look. I brought these two at the same time – I just didn’t have the heart to put it down – it was also £6. Isn’t it just lovely?

The Third one is a smaller one I Picked up from Primark. I like the black and gold chain, this one was a complete bargain at £2. I know £2; I would have been a crime not to buy this one.

The forth one is from Mark & Spencer, I wouldn’t normally have picked this one as it is a smaller version of the one above but it was brought for me and I will wear it, so I’ve added it in.

I have saved the best one till last – I loved it as soon as I set my eyes on it.  I picked this one up for £8 from River Island. I saw it in my local shop but it had stones missing, so I went out of town to pick this up – so glad I managed to get it. It reminds me of the Indian Maharaja Style jewellery.  I love all of these buys, but this one is defiantly my favourite one.

Which one is your favourite?

For someone that doesn’t normally buy necklaces, buying 5 (4 plus one gift) in the last two weeks is just crazy. I normally just wear bracelets but can now see myself wearing necklaces too – happy days.

Well, that is all for now, Hopefully my next post will be based on French Connections make up palette and Brushes that I picked up, so watch out for that.

Also, just to fill you in about my eyebrow growing issue from my last post, I had to get them done sooner than planned.  I will start the test again at the end of the month. I need neat eyebrows for a few weeks - after that I will let them just grow wild.

Anyway, we shall meet again on my next post…
