I was always dazzled by the glitter of Tiffany as a young girl. I look at their website regularly but there are so few things i’d actually wear i’m always quite dissapointed.
They have a silver and turquoise enamel ring that I like, I wanted it as a wedding band but it only comes in Silver. I was super excited for the Rubido pink metal but then I saw it was all stamped on the outside and in the style of their one collection that I wouldn’t wear without being paid an advertising fee. A lot of their stuff reminds me of Nike with labels and logos unecessarily emblazoned on it…If others like it thats awesome for them but it just seems really uncouth to me, makes me feel uncomfortable.
The few things I like from Tiffany I like a lot, but if I had a big pile of cash and wanted really high end jewelry I’d be toddling off to the Jewelry Quarter.
It arrived yesterday and today i’m trying it out.

A little small in the cup but the top band doesn’t cut into me.
Could do with a bit firmer back support.
Straps tighten forwards so when I run my fingers under to reposition them they loosen, it’s frustrating!
Shape is good.
Better support than expected given delicacy of fabric.
Things that I intend to save up for and aquire and possess and adore. Any birthday money I receive will be more than likely going towards …
Nars Damage lipstick
Nars Grand Palais eyeshadow Duo
Nars Silk Road eyeshadow Duo
Illamasqua Freak perfume (It has a little silver snail on it! How apt!)
I imagined wedding dress shopping was going to be relativley easy (i know right!) an excuse to buy a really fancy dress. I’ve been to fairs and shops and found squillions of dresses I adore, but there’s always something wrong. I’ve realised how incredibly picky I am XD
Ignoring more obvious difficulties like cost, finding a colour that isn’t one of five thousand names for white, or how none of these designers considered busty women - I really didn’t realise how many people have their emotions invested in your choices.
Mum of course, excited for her little girl has dreams and pictures in her own head, she wants everyone to feel as enamoured as she. In fact, I found most female relatives had lots of assumptions and ideas.
It’s easy to say a wedding is all about you, but when you have a very big, or very interested family, and you want them to share your joy, it can be hard to find a good compromise - especially if like me you don’t care much for tradition.
(incidently white was never a traditional wedding dress colour in the UK until Queen Victoria wore white and it became fashionable. Prior to that Green was traditional, representing family and fertility or, a colour chosen by the bride to ensure maximum rewearability! White is traditional in Catholisism however, but as the colour has no significance to me, and it’s not one that suits me, I don’t want to be pressured into wearing it!
