My Birthday gift from Best.Friend. was a gift card for Pandora…we’d talked about getting a friendship bracelet for some time, and decided that if we were going to do it, we’d damn well do it properly (and might I just add, this girl is worth her weight in gold several times over). We’d initially decided to save up once I’d quit smoking (more on that some other time) but with the passing of my Nan we decided to jump the gun and get them sooner, with a charm in her memory (my grandparents long ago “adopted” her as their own).
And that is how we found ourselves, still grieving and intolerant of simple things like crowds of people at the Mall at Cribbs Causeway yesterday choosing our bracelets. We bypassed the traditional silver and opted for the leather bracelets; pink for me, purple for her (these were more budget friendly at £40 each and more us) along with the “Best Friends” scroll charm and the little silver owl, as for unknown reasons, my Nan was obsessed with those beautiful birds.
I’m glad to have something so special, to celebrate the friend who has stuck by me when many others would have walked away, and to commemorate my Nan, a woman who loved and was loved, and forever will be.
I dragged myself out of my jeans and jumper combo and in to a River Island dress, teal tights and Jeffrey Campbell boots; c/o Sarenza.
And of course, Mae had to sneak in to this post, just as she sneaks in anywhere. The pose exhibited here? Well, that either means she wants tummy rubs, or is about to launch an attack on your feet depending on her mood.
Happy Sunday,
how’s the long weekend going?
