Say what you mean, mean what you say

In God We Trust's Sweet Nothing necklaces have become a Victoire staple. With sweet and sassy sayings like "wonder buns", "really fucking cute" and "balls to the wall", they're pretty much our go-to recommendation when folks come in looking for a gift for a friend, girl-friend or a little treat for themselves.

And while we love all of In God We Trust's classic sayings (and will keep stocking these), we recently decided to order a few custom sayings exclusive to our shops, and our shops only.



Obviously brainstorming for these has been super fun - racking our brains for lyrics, funny sayings, pop culture references, foods we like...it's been so much fun in fact that we thought we'd ask all y'all 1) for your input and help in narrowing down some of our choices and 2) if you have any ideas for what the next great "Sweet Nothing" saying could be. Cos we know you guys are super funny/into cool shit/tapped in culturally speaking ya know?

SO: please comment and let us know what your top pics are from this list. AND if you have anything brilliant that you think deserves its moment in the sun on a Sweet Nothing necklace, let us know! (Obviously we need to get quite a few of these made, so don't suggest anything that is like totally an inside joke that only you & your BFF will get.) If we choose your suggestion, you'll earn yourself a free necklace with that very saying! Fun huh??




So here are our ideas so far - let us know what you think!!

1) Say my name
2) Burger Queen
3) pizza
4) Cheeseburger Baby
5) Can I Live
6) Je t'aime
7) Do the Bartman
8) Eat my Shorts
9) Sock it to Me
10) Support Ottawa

(ok so it's pretty obvious we like Beyonce, junk food & The Simpsons...so sue us. If you read this blog/follow us on Instagram, you probably already knew that)

I think that You Go Girl would be a slam dunk.

Also, Slam Dunk!

Say My Name is my favourite from your list.

"Hopelessly Devoted" (from Grease!)
and "Call Me Maybe",

and I don't know why, but I think "bingo" would be cute :)

I realize this is super late to the party but I would love a "no means no" or even a "yes means yes" necklace! You could even donate a portion of the proceeds for the first little bit of sales to the Sexual Assault Support Centre.

I would also LOVE to have a necklace that sayas "femmeinist".
