    oh alex, i've resisted the etsy temptation for so long....

    i was just thinking, i have loads of alice-esque necklaces..
    my fave one is/was a dolls-house tea set on a silver chain..i almost wore it to death (well, the sugar pot lost it's lid, dspite the fact i glued it with the best glue i had when i made it :( )

    also, have a perfume bottle necklace, which was my best new look bargain ever..£1 in the till queue and i liked it better than whatever it was i was queuing to buy haha

    and i think i used to have a kinda charm bracelet with the red and black card symbols.. (must raid jewellery boxes when i get home!)

    :D @daisy xx

    I always wear them. I sometimes fall asleep with them still on.

    I had one of those skin damage tests once and it had huge white goggles where sunglasses have been saved from the impact of the sun. :o
