Overstated and Somewhat Tacky


Lately, I've been seriously craving anything and everything sparkly. More specifically; anything and everything diamondy and being me, I want them insanely huge and tacky. Obviously, real diamonds are way way way out of my price range, but I can still bling myself out with plastic.

I have no idea where I got the necklace, but I recently found it while cleaning my room and decided that it is pretty much the best thing on earth. I made the earrings when I realized that my life couldn't be complete without a pair of Lego head earrings, and that the only thing better than Lego head earrings would be Lego head earrings with large, slightly pink, plastic crystals. My next plan is to try and get my hands on some crystals from a chandelier or something, since, like I said, overstated and tacky are practically my middle names. 

Do you love diamonds? Do you like them understated and demure or over the top?

Love,
Rosie

  7. Hahaha!!! I can do tacky and big if it were a gaudy diamond ring :) But no, I have very small, demure diamond hoops. That's about it! Love the Lego earrings!

  8. I love these pics - I think you could wear a simple outfit, and then glam it up with OTT amounts of jewels. But then again that's just me!

  9. I love your bling. I think diamonds are beautiful and my engagement ring and wedding band have several, but I'm always concerned about the provenance of diamonds, considering the bloodshed and pain they have caused in many African countries.

  10. No diamonds here, but if you're into the whole bling thing I do like the new retro-inspired necklaces at Charlotte Russe. I do have a thing for sparkly too, but all my vintage rhinestones were stolen in a burglary a couple of years ago. ):
