It’s difficult for me to explain just how much I love this necklace. I had to have it the moment I saw it. It looks perfect with a black top and a ponytail, the gorgeous flower sitting proudly on my neck.

The flower is a bit heavy, so it tends to slide down to the center of my neck. I have to check it throughout the day to make sure its centered properly. But once it is, it’s just gorgeous.

I’m doting on Portabello’s other vintage goodies as well…like this gorgeous bracelet, and this lovely mother-of pearl hairpin. Everything’s so…brassy and somehow harsh and gentle at the same time.

[Sigh.]
