Friday Finds (#6)

                                                                    Chelsea Doll

It's Friday, huzzah. This week's vast array of beautiful accessories come not from Etsy, but courtesy of Chelsea Doll, an online treasure trove of kitsch delights.
Chelsea Doll has actually been open for business since 2009, but with smaller online stores it is often word of mouth that spreads news of them, so if you don't happen to come into contact with someone who has bought something from them, or if you are not the sort of person who scours Google for new finds, then you might well miss out on some lovely treats. Personally, I stumbled upon Chelsea Doll only recently, and I liked their pieces so much that I thought it only fair I share them with you!

I would just like to point out here that I am not affiliated with this brand in any way - I am sharing purely because I think you will enjoy having a browse!

Chelsea Doll Jewellery prices range from about £10-£15, with bags starting at £15, so they are affordable but not dirt cheap. I particularly love their selection of collar and spike necklaces and animal-themed jewellery. I can't decide whether I love or hate that theatrical mask ring - it's so pretty, but at the same time it freaks me out a bit! If it's not your cup of tea then the website has an amazing selection of quirky rings, featuring elephants, skulls, peacocks, rabbits, anchors...you name it. Here are a few of my favourites:

How precious is that hedgehog one? I love it.

If you haven't yet had the pleasure of shopping at Chelsea Doll then you can find their website here.

Where do you buy your jewellery and accessories? Have you discovered any hidden treasures lately?

Desire of the Day #5: ASOS Spiked Bracelet

Well. I wouldn't mind having me this little spiked delight. We all love a bit of arm candy, and I am all over the spiked jewellery trend at the moment. This beaut is just £8 from ASOS too, so what's not to love? For those of us on a spending ban, this is an affordable (ahem!) treat (clearly I haven't understood the rules very well!).

ASOS are always a gem when it comes to jewels, and I could spend an absolute fortune decking myself out in their gorgeous attire, so I wouldn't be surprised if a rose gold collar necklace or two make it onto my Desire of the Day post in the not too distant future. But who knows. Tomorrow is another day, and I am a fickle shopper.

Just a short one today, but I will be back later on with a post about - gasp! - FAKE Mac products. How to spot them and how to avoid them is key in this day and Ebay-ing age.

Hope everyone is out enjoying the sunshine while it lasts and having a lovely time. I could certainly tell you weren't at home with your heads buried in the blogosphere last night, but then who would be, unless they were ill? Anyway, sob stories aside, I am feeling much better now, thank you very much. Bit of sunbathing for me today, I think.
