Not Just Any Doorstep…

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

So, at the beginning of March I had an email from the lovely Charlotte Ward. Charlotte is a writer and was working on a Sex And The City article for Cosmopolitan magazine. She said she had found the photograph of me sat on the infamous stoop of Carrie Bradshaw’s humble abode and would like to write a small article about how I came about Carrie’s stoop – what happened before her stoop and what has happened since.

I was more than happy to oblige of course; so we had a telephone interview and that was that… Until the JUNE 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine hit shelves this week of course;o

You can read the ‘Not Just Any Doorstep…’ article, by Charlotte Ward from page 121 onwards (I’m on page 122).

ENJOY!

(PS – Hands up who can’t wait for SATC 2?!)

We need money for moving to London! So look at this!

James literally bought this XBOX 360 Arcade console for the latest and greatest Grand Theft Auto release. He also bought Grand Theft Auto seperately. He’s selling both together as a neat package on eBay. He has completed GTA and subsequently has no need for this XBOX now (we’re not console players, apart from the Wii, but that doesn’t count!) So yeah, its ACTUALLY brand new!!

So please please PLEASE help us in our funding for our big bad move to the big bad smoke!

Clearly this package is well sought after, still! So get you bidding guns at the ready! [Please pass on the details of this auction to your family/friends/related parties! Thanks!]

My beautiful BIBA Necklace.

This is a genuine BIBA necklace from the 1970s, just before it closed for business.

It’s one of my favourite necklaces in the whole wide world. James bought it for me for one Valentines, years ago. Its absolutely amazing isnt it. The proper BIBA Dancing Couple:)

I love the dancing couple that much I used the logo on our Engagement Party Invites earlier this year:)

JUDY PINK, by Tatty Devine.

I had this necklace made by Tatty Devine (www.tattydevine.com) for my graduation, last year, as a surprise:) It’s like my own version of the infamous ‘Carrie Necklace’ as worn by the wonderful Carrie Bradshaw herself in Sex and the City.

I must say, these necklaces are super fragile… as I found when it got caught in my scarf. Devastated at the snappage between the P and the I, and the fact that I knew James would be upset, I tried to get the necklace fixed without him knowing… I’m rubbish and told him everything.

I emailed Leigh at Tatty Devine, and the very next day my necklace was on it’s way back to Brick Lane, London, to be fixed. The customer service at Tatty Devine is beyond impressive. They charge £5 for items to be fixed, which I think is extremely reasonable. In addition, the day after, I received a phone call asking if I wanted the charm and chain replacing. I said ‘no’ as they were both fine and it was just a matter of the P and I being glued back together, professionally. Within a week my necklace arrived back on my doorstep, Recorded Delivery of course, I opened the beautiful packaging to find they’d actually replaced everything, the charm, the chain, and the lasercut lettering; all for £5! How good is that?! Very good is the answer.

I adore my necklace:) It’s very individual, and clearly personal to me. PLUS, its a talking point:) “Who is Judy Pink?” “My cheeky alter-ego” ;o

“Touch Wood” Necklace by Vivienne Westwood, worn by ME!

As I said in my previous post (click HERE!! ), the brand new “Touch Wood” necklace was made for me! I’m beyond superstitious these days and this necklace is just perfect – however, it was placed at the top of my “to buy” list ready for pay-day!

But James being James, met me after work as a surprise and took me straight to the Newcastle Vivienne Westwood store to have a look at the necklace – and there and then I fell in love with it! (as did James). So without further a do we made the purchase!:D I believe it’s Limited Edition aswell, so I’m rather glad loads of people won’t be wearing it and it will indeed remain special to me:)

All in al, a good purchase I feel!

Vivienne Westwood: Orb Necklaces.

Vivienne Westwood jewellery is classical, shows the signature style of the brand perfectly, has timeless beauty and isn’t (too) faddy, meaning it’ll go with everything (smart or casual!) and won’t go out of fashion next week. Which really you’d expect, considering the prices range from £50 onwards and upwards.

I absolutely adore the jewellery offered, I swoon everyday over the new items online and in my local Newcastle stand-alone store. Unfortunately for me however, I only own one piece of Vivienne Westwood jewellery, probably one of the more decadent pieces mind! Its the Bas-Relief Orb, with 3 rows of pearls choker necklace; priced at a mere £335! I am indeed very lucky, and probably shouldn’t complain, but hey-ho, I’m hard done by;o This beautiful necklace has 3 rows of graduated size pearls attached to a stunning 6.5cm Swarovski Crystal studded orb, the one I own is the same as the below; with the gold orb. This was a gift from my wonderful James for my 21st Birthday, so a very special necklace all round indeed.

-Bas Relief Choker – 3 Row Pearl, £335.00.

-This is me wearing my beautiful choker, after my birthday meal in New York City!

So, I’m not going to outline a few of the other orb pendant necklaces on my ‘to buy’ list. I’ll not include the ‘Touch Wood’ one in this blog, but thats DEFINITELY my next purchase this pay day without a doubt!!

-Silver Orb Locket, £190.00

This is certainly one of my faves! I think it’s so sentimental, and I’ve got such a ‘thing’ for lockets, theres something a little bit more magical about adding a photograph and keeping it close to your heart:) The locket is made entirely of sterling silver; open its bottom half revealing heart shaped inscription: ” +qu’hier -que demain ” meaning (I love you) more than yesterday less than tomorrow. Beautiful.

-Gold Tiny 3D Orb, £140.00.

This lovely 3D orb is on a really long chain, so its abit more casual for my liking, but I love the gold and the 3D orbs!

-Enamel Orb Pendant, £70.00

The classic orb. This orb is on my Bordeaux red purse, so I’d really like this necklace to match (theres also matching earrings too!) ALSO, abit off subject, but I’m really debating over getting this particular orb tattooed as my next tattoo! I feel a homage to the great Ms. Vivienne is imminent in some shape or form! Thoughts please!!!

-Limited Edition Bow and Asymmetric Valentine Heart Pendant, £90.00

This necklace was released as part of a Limited Edition collection for Valentines Day 2008, as were the matching Brooch, Earrings and Bracelet, however, I think it would make a welcome place in any jewellery box and match any outfit as abit of a statement piece. Careful though, its Limited Edition!
