You've Got Mail (Accessories)!

There is a growing trend at the moment and I want a piece of it! There are some delightful bags and purses cropping up in high-street shops and online that are designed to look like letters or postcards. I visited my local Accessorize shop (swooning with delight upon entry... I mean really, those shops are feasts for the eyes) and found not one but two uber cute purses which following the trend:
From Paris With Love Purse Sequin Je T'aime Purse
The From Paris With Love Postcard Purse is the cheaper option at £7 and features some lovely lil' pictures of airplanes and hearts; however, the Sequin Je T'aime Coin Purse is only an extra £1 (retailing at £8) and has lovely pearly sequins all over it! I just can't decide which one to buy... someone help! I went online to have a look around in search of some more letter and postcard impersonators and found the delight for £54.99: Paper Planes Overnight Bag.

I don't know about you, the reader, but I hope that this trend is here to stay with little treasures like this!

Review: Boopydoodle Jewellery

I will never say no to a new piece of jewellery. Fact. The reason for this is that one can easily resurrect an old outfit from certain death (by charity bag) with some carefully chosen pieces of jewellery. So when I come across a website chocked with kitsch goodies, I tend to go a lil' crazy with the bank card! Boopydoodle Jewellery is "where cute meets sweet" and they are not lying.


Scuba Blue Bikini Girl Necklace

This little beauty is the Scuba Blue Bikini Girl Necklace which retails at £8.99. The naughty pin-up girl is actually from old playing cards - how great is that?! This charming gal also doubles as a hair accessory, thanks to a clip on the back.


Kitsch Plastic Chequer Board Studs

I like these earrings for their simplicity and their 50s appeal. These studs are aptly named the Kitsch Plastic Chequer Board Studs and also come in baby pink and blue! At £4.99 each, these cuties are so great that I want them all!


Alice In Wonderland Crown Necklace

I am not really a gold person but I have never seen a crown necklace before so I thought I would give it a mention! The Alice In Wonderland Necklace would look fantastic against a plain red or black dress - it looks so sparkly (and a steal for £7.99).

Boopydoodle Jewellery treat each customer order with love and kisses. The jewellery is carefully gift-wrapped in boxes or tissue paper and they aim to dispatch within 24 hours. Well, I think this blogger has finished her rant, now to resist the temptation... eek!

Review: Little Miss Delicious Jewellery

Hello everyone! Thankyou for taking an interest in my new blog about the wonderful world of kitsch and vintage jewellery and accessories avaliable online and in high-street shops. I shall begin my blog with a review about some lovely jewellery: Little Miss Delicious.

Fast Food Charm Bracelet

Little Miss Delicious jewellery is handmade in the UK and the designs are not only unique but packing some serious cuteness! The company was founded in December 2009 by pin-up model and creative whizz, Maxine Ashleigh Johnston. Since then, her gorgeous necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings have adorned rockabilly chicks and glamorous gals from all over the United Kingdom! My favourite piece from the current collection is the Fast Food Charm Bracelet (see above for picture) which is priced at £20; however, girlies looking for a cheap fix will find the Happy Fried Egg Necklace too adorable to resist for just £9.

I mean really... how much cuter can it get?!
