Charmed, I'm Sure

I have previously professed my love for charm bracelets, but I am seriously lacking the patience to collect charms from here and there to create my own unique bracelet. I would buy the bracelet chain, find one charm that I love, then bury it at the bottom of my jewelry box until I find it years down the road and realize that I had once had intentions of being a charm collector. And if I did find the patience within to go through the the charm-collecting process, the bracelet would no doubt find itself buried at the bottom of my jewelry box because, after a day of wear, I would decide that it's too much of distraction in class.

This necklace (Lisa Goodwin @ ShopIntuition) does the dirty work for me and eliminates the "that girl has the noisiest bracelet ever, I am going to fail my exam and blame her" factor. Available in two lengths and nine equally fabulous themes, this necklace is nearly a steal at $55.

Although all of the charm themes are ridiculously cool, I want the "I Will Survive" themed necklace, not because I consider myself a survivor (at 19, I haven't survived through a whole lot, unless you count my spanish exam that nearly killed me), but because I love the idea of a little inspiration floating around my neck.

Others that are particularly cute include "California Girls" with cupcakes and palm trees, "Fantasy" with mermaids and rainbows, and "How Sweet It Is" with candy kisses and lollipops.
