That Day Has Come.

Something very exciting happened today. My House of Harlow 1960 Sunburst necklace finally arrived.

I've been waiting for it to arrive before I made this post. The necklace was supposed to be a Christmas present, as I mentioned a long time ago. The order for the necklace was placed on December 12th, and it just arrived today, more than 4 months later.

The website the necklace was ordered from was The Hip Chick, a site I've never dealt with before.

I contacted Hip Chick multiple times to make sure the necklace was really coming, but they only contacted me in response to my calls and emails. They never called to assure me it was still coming unless I called first. On March 5th they did contact me to say that they were just going to be receiving a shipment of the Sunburst necklaces in on March 15th. I was told to expect the necklace by the end of March, but clearly that isn't what happened.

If the necklace had come in January I wouldn't have made this post. But four months is just too extreme, especially when it was ordered around holiday time. As happy as I am to receive my necklace, and I still had a great Christmas, it's a lot different getting it in April.

Hip Chick told me the cause behind all of this was that House of Harlow was having problems with their manufacturers and it was taking longer to complete their orders than expected. (I wasn't made aware that there weren't any necklaces in stock until I contacted them.)

In conclusion, I expect Nicole Richie to come and meet me to make up for this.

Anyway, as frustrating as it was waiting for the necklace to come and having to worry that maybe it had been ordered from an unreliable website, I couldn't be happier that it came. The chain is longer than I expected, but it is perfect. I can't wait to wear it tomorrow and as soon as my mom let me know it had arrived I started planning outfits out in my mind. Here are more pictures!
