14 things we lusted after in Claire's Accessories growing up

The 3 for 2 on pens bankrupted primary school students everywhere.

1. Anything from Stuff by Hilary Duff

Very imaginatively titled, might I add.

2. Fingerless fishnet gloves

We ALL had an emo phase, however big or small.

3. Sex bands

Before they were band from schools. (I was too afraid to Google Image search a picture but they were basically glorified elastic bands).

4. Pre-made scoobie bracelets/key-chains

Another craze lost to the hands of time.

5. Lipsmackers

For reasons we shouldn’t have to explain.

6. Any of the mad rainbow eyeshadow palettes

The gateway drug to MAC.

7. Their fairy-cake lip balm

SO edible smelling, yet so not actually edible. :(

8. The many, many multi-packs of earrings on offer

In particular, those weird multi-coloured spiky jelly ones.

9. … And belly bars

10. A shitey hair band you’d pick up, wear once, and resign to The Drawer

Every house hold had a drawer of hair bands bought after many an experimental fringe.

11. Those sk8r wristbands that Avril Lavigne made popular among teenage girls and NEVER APOLOGISED FOR

Any combination of pink and black/red and black/white and black stripes is PTSD inducing.

12. Braces

To be found on the emo wall, to be exact. Probably next to the fingerless fishnet gloves.

13. Anything with Hello Kitty on it

14. The animal keyrings that you used be able to squeeze fake poo out of

The height of comedy back in 5th and 6th class.
