Around a year ago, I developed a craving for jingling and jangling as I move, so I started passively looking for the type of jewelry that would do this. From there, I set my sights on the necklaces and bracelets made of coins. I find coin jewelry charming and a bit cheesy, the cruise ship equivalent of spoons bent and soldered into rings. I recently picked one up from a very old man selling antiques on Portobello road and have worn it since. It feels a bit bohemian, even the coins around my neck are not (being old American or British currency, I have not looked hard enough to be sure). Because it fits tight around the neck, the coins neither jingle nor jangle when I move, but there is a phantom clanging that does the job.

makes jingling noises as you move and just a bunch of cute symbols (meaningful or not) in one rockin piece of jewelry

⛓️I have worn both since childhood as protective jewelry. I had to go a few months without the coin bracelet though because I forgot it at the jeweller's when it was being repaired and I flew out the country–cue the worst few months of my life yet.
I don't take the pendant off ever, unless I need to do an X-ray.

🪙I have a bunch of fun charms (mobile charm from a temple recently, Riddler coin in my wallet, a prosperity bead bracelet from an Indigenous artist in Taiwan, etc. etc.) but the most permanent one is the silver pendant my mum made me wear as a child and I literally never take it off except for those chest x-rays, it feels very odd to do so, I feel kind of naked without it.

This will fix you, I promise. But actually, it’s something I have to do for American Style all the time and I think it keeps your heart and mind elasticated.

M&S is a British grocery store that also sells clothes. There is no real American equivalent — it has an emphasis on nicer versions of groceries, but it’s not like Whole Foods or Erewhon and it’s less silly or specific than your average specialty store in the US. It was one of the first places that brought me comfort and happiness after moving to London. It still does, largely because I know I’ll like basically whatever I buy there (my favorite is their milk chocolate mini buttons, I also love a Colin the Caterpillar and the white chocolate milkshake in a bottle).
In the US, places like Target and Walmart sell groceries and clothes together, but the clothes at M&S are really nice. They sell cashmere and trench coats and when I went into the flagship on Oxford Street the other day I saw a lot of summer offerings inspired by Chemena Kamali’s Chloé. I bought way too much.
