My Favourite Things: My Name is Rhonda

I got this necklace about 10 years ago, from one of those jewellery shops on Yonge Street. This was during the first season of Sex and the City and although I’ve never sat through an entire episode of that show, the famous “Carrie” nameplate necklace had a certain retro ’70s appeal to me.

I also remember my colleague David making light at the amount of money I spent on a faddish necklace, calling it my “investment jewellery.” I still wear it all the time, though, especially when attending awkward social situations where I’m certain that no one will remember my name.
