I am a huge fan of the 1950's and 60's, some of my style icons include Mae West, Marilyn Monroe and Bette Davis.
I love 1960's Rock'n'Roll, Sock Hops and Dita Von Teese.
....I LOVE rockabilly.
Let this be the beginning of the blog's descent into the Kool Aid Kid's jewellery obssession...
Consider yourself warned ;)
I discovered http://www.ladyluckrulesok.co.uk/ randomly, in a supplement magazine of the Sunday Times in 2008.
And I purchased one of their personalised tattoo name necklaces- a bargain at just £15!
I have since gone on to buy several more pieces, purely because of the price and the look: sugar sweet with an edge.
After learning a little bit more about the rockabilly movement I began to research more online jewellery stores, because these sorts of pieces are not easy to come by n the british high street.
It was then that I discovered http://www.punkypins.co.uk/
They to make personalised necklaces - a bit of a favourite of mine; no one can steal them and pass them off as their own (unless they have the same name as you) and it takes edge off the whole "what's your name?) thing in bars.
WARNING: You may actually think they're staring at your tits- and if you have a difficult name to pronounce/ the other party is drunk you may see them squinting and attempting to sound out the sylables... Oh dear.
Happy Shopping!
XOXO
The Kool Aid Kid
