So I got this beauty last week from my oh-so-awesome boyfriend. A necklace that holds quarters: practicality and beauty rolled into one- I love it! It comes from a delightful online shop called Snoozer Looser, often highlighted on the wonderful blog, Getting Beat Like You Stole Something.
I had eyed it a few weeks before and left subtle hints for my boyfriend. It went something like "{cough, cough} I want this for my birthday." Sometimes the magic works.
I apologize for the excessive posing above. I also got/bought myself a remote clicker thingy for my camera, as any serious amateur, amateur photographer should have. So I took about 50 photos of myself with the clicker and now feel like I could successfully give any narcissist a run for their money.
You would think as a twin (living with her twin), I wouldn't need a remote shutter release. Unfortunately Cath and I hardly see each other during the week because of our separate schedules (boo) and separate boyfriends (good!). It's a good thing my face resembles hers or I would forget what she looked like.

Happy belated birthday.... love the necklace!
ReplyDeletePretty brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI had a similar schedule with my fiancé Nate when I attended night classes at Uni. I'd only see him around 10 when I got home. We'd eat a late dinner, and he would go back to designing in the office and I would go to bed. But we always found ways to connect during the day.
Thankfully you have a twin.
Great outfit. Very funky-fresh.
Love that necklace! You look great!
ReplyDeleteI see a national show in the future for you guys. I mean, we're all learning so much about twins by reading this blog! And fashion, and Decatur, and....shouldn't we share this with the nation?!
ReplyDeleteYour poses always put a smile on my face. Enjoy your week!
Oh lord! Thanks for mentioning the remote clicker! BRILLIANT! I am totally investing in one, if I can. Also, your new necklace is the bomb. Say goodbye to not being able to feed the meter.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful neklace and you look gorgeous on the pictures too :-) Remote for the camera? What a great idea...I need one!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely week, much love: Evi
What a fun piece ... and what a clever boyfriend!
ReplyDeleteYour boyfriend is a darling! The necklace is so pretty:)
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I hardly see each other during the week as well, I think it's pretty common:P
lovessss the necklace! i think i will have to buy one! you look great!
ReplyDeleteOooh nice. Although now you won't have an excuse for any parking tickets...
ReplyDeletethanks for the shout-out and I'm glad he got your hint.
Cool gift!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous necklace! I love vintage inspired pieces - I tend to see a lot of the pendant = watch ones, but I"ve never seen one that holds quarters. How cool is that.
ReplyDeleteOh, and a belated happy birthday to you both! :) Hope you girls had a great time celebrating!
What a great birthday present! Haha the hints paid off.
ReplyDeleteWay to give the bf a good hint, and way to take it bf! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThat necklace is great, and the quarter-holding function is very creative!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I agree with you about the camera remote--it's 1000 times better than awkwardly waiting 10 seconds for the auto timer, and is infinitely better than trying to take your own photo while holding the camera.

"It's a good thing my face resembles hers or I would forget what she looked like." LOL on that one. The necklace is lovely! I drop hints to my oh so receptive bf all the time, but he doesn't get them. Next time, I'll just have him reimburse me.
ReplyDeletehaha
Ooh, my grandmother had a necklace like that, but for dimes. Very cool! I could definitely use a remote--10 second self-timer is such a pain.
ReplyDeletelast winter, i used a remote clicker too.
ReplyDeleteoh boy, i had a hard time taking my pictures
because i wanted it to look perfect.

LOVE that necklace!!! Love when those subtle hints actually register : ) And your jacket's super cute!
ReplyDeleteOh that necklace is the sweetest! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat necklace is so cool!

Aww, your boyfriend definitely has a nice sense of style. The necklace is very unique.
ReplyDeletethat necklace is AWESOME, and lar, you are soooo funny! :)
ReplyDeleteOh that necklace is so fun! I haven't ever seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you're onto something... Maybe I should have invested in a remote shutter release. Haha setting the self timer and running seven feet away isn't exactly conducive to amazing photos for me.
