Silver is a Girls Best Friend

Girls always prefer a certain metal for their jewellery, and for me that's silver. Look at these gorgeous charms though... 

I feel like I've always owned some sort of charm bracelet; when I was christened as a baby I received a small silver bracelet with religious related charms. Growing up I went through a few but the most memorable being one with lots of dangly charms like a blue clay turtle and a purple rubix cube. But now I'm 21 so I felt like I needed a more 'adulty' bracelet and here it is! 

My parents recently bought me this Pandora bracelet along with the safety chain, two clips, and the present charm to symbolise my 18th and 21st birthday. I also received the daisy chain charm from my brother as well for my birthday. These together with the Michael Hill charms* I got to choose from their Emma & Roe range, I'm able to arrange the charms to how I'm feeling. Personally I was unsure about getting a mix of charm brands thinking that they may not work together but they do! Now I can buy charms from both brands woo! 

With the charms I have I put together a few ways I'd wear them as I don't actually like wearing loads of charms at once all the time so it's nice to have a change around. 

Filigree Open Heart Pattern Charm, Teal Matte Murano Glass Charm, Daisies Clip, Silver Present Charm, Darling Daisies Spacer, Sterling Silver Crown Charm, Milkyway Clip, Blue & Gold Sparkle Murano Glass Charm, Filigree Flower Charm.

Do you have a charm bracelet? What charms do you have, I'm thinking about getting a Lion charm next. 

*Michael Hill have kindly allowed me to choose these Emma & Roe charms but all opinions are my own. Just look at them how could you not like them!

taylor swift and friendship bracelets

The other day my bestie and I trekked over to my old flatmates new house to check it out and hang out after not seeing each other for 3 months. The walk was much longer than I expected and well the sun was out blazing so we turned up at their door hot, sweaty and in much need of a glass of water... or four. We sat out in their cute little patio while guzzling our weight in water and achieving a rather nice burn across my entire chest, shoulders and face. I must have looked a right picture! 
Eventually the sun went behind some clouds and wouldn't come out so we ventured inside to look through the collection of boxes they discovered in their attic. Under a mountain of dry highlighters and pots of various glitter we found some of your average cross stitching thread and decided to make friendship bracelets. You know those ones that every girl learns to make in like year 7, or every girl but us as we had to google how to make them. So we three girls sat with Taylor Swift playing in the background for few hours while our very handy guy made the dinner. (I question why I ever decided not to flat with him this year om nom nom)
Don't judge my first attempt at a bracelet okay it was my very first try and for half of it I couldn't attach it to anything so it was flying all over the place, but I thought I did okay. I'm gonna try a few more on my own I think just so that I can do it.
