♥ never break the chain.

is it just me -

or do the gloriously heavy-looking chain necklaces

from louis vuitton's fall fall 2009 collection

closely resemble the paper chains often

used in holiday decorating?

it makes me laugh to think that the

things we learn as children

can become so relevant once again

when the fashion world decides

to give it back to us in a flashier

+ more fabulous form.

it sort of makes me want to break out this exciting necklace

given to me by my friend, timothy.

i mistook it at first for a glorified macaroni necklace--

but he assured me that it is an artpiece,

made entirely of glittered splattered and studded spools,

not uncooked pasta!

or maybe i will follow these instructions

and make myself a makeshift macaroni necklace

to tide me over until i can acquire the louis...

does anyone remember the toothbrush bracelet phase?

i never made one, but maybe i should get on the ball

and try this guide from gurl.com or buy one here.

before marc jacobs makes one out of gold and

sends it down the runway for his next

LV collection!
