" Pretty Portobello: More is more - Mixing necklaces

More is more - Mixing necklaces

A quick mix and match here with some of my latest and favourites necklaces. I recently got tree new fantastic necklaces and I loved the idea of mixing them. I wanted that full maxi necklace effect, super Tom Binns inspired and I think now I have just achieved it! It's bold, bulky and blingy, just how I intended.

I combined the H&M necklace with the Zara necklace.

I was so surprised when H&M released this necklace. It was love at first sight when I saw a friend wearing it and by the time I found out where it was from, it had been sold out. I couldn't believe I had missed out on that one and so I had a quick look on Ebay for it but I refused to pay over £30. I was almost giving up when for much of my surprise of course, I came across one on my local H&M. It had been hidden by someone behind many other necklaces and I literally squealed with excitement as I saw it, I couldn't believe what I called my 'bloggers luck' that day. Since this necklace has been advertised as 'the bloggers' favourite and we can clearly see why.

On the other hand, what I had been waiting for, were these necklaces by Zara. I saw them on the Zara lookbook at the beginning of the season and whilst I had been focusing on them so much, with my eyes glues to the website, I (almost) missed out on the H&M ones. These came out in two colours and I bought both. I think I prefer the yellow but I know I would regret not getting the pink. They just came out this week and it was already difficult to get hold of them.

Carrying on matching them... Although I prefer the yellow on yellow combination with the pink necklace, it becomes even more eye catching as the colours are so strong together.

I wanted to try just the Zara necklaces together to see if they would work like that but unfortunately they don't sit that well together within each other.


They will also work really well with some of the rhinestones necklaces that I already have. If you guys remember I had done the same with them in past and the result was terrific.

See you soon.
