Cloud Necklaces
Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 6:30AM I recently watched Broken English, a 2007 film starring Parker Posey as a single woman in her thirties, living in NYC, and generally displeased with all aspects of her life. If you like slower-paced, independent films, you'll like this. If you only like action films or romantic comedies, this one isn't for you.
One of the best parts of the film was Parker Posey's wardrobe (don't all independent films have great styling?). One item in particular that stood out for me was this raining cloud necklace she wore in several scenes:
The thing about independent films (well, or really any films or television shows) is that they show people of average or modest lives wearing great pieces, and then you find out those pieces are exorbitantly priced.
But this necklace is just SO me. I believe a rainy day is just as beautiful as a sunny one (which is why the hubby calls me Eeyore sometimes) so I headed over to Etsy and typed "raining cloud necklace" into the search.
And... eureka! What a treasure of choices! These are my three favorites:
This one might be my favorite favorite. It's so beautiful and unique and I love the idea that Cloud 9 can be a rain cloud. It's very yin and yang - with the good there is always bad and that provides the balance in life.
This one is really cool. It's got a tribal quality to it and I love the speckled raindrop.
This one is so remarkably beautiful in its subtlety. You may not see it as a raining cloud... or you might. Either way, it's simply beautiful.
I want all three. I have this plan to work on my style now that I'm not pregnant anymore and don't have to worry about how things will fit - and I think these necklaces would give quite a touch of spark to any outfit.

Ooh yeah I like the 3rd one the best. Looks like an interesting movie too; I'll have to watch it!
Oooh. These are all really cool. Also, I just added Broken English to my Instant Netflix queue to watch when I get a chance. Sounds interesting :)
Wow! These are pretty! The first one does give justice to its name "cloud necklace". Love the silver ones. The first is a fairly good representation of a cloud and some rain.
