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.

There are just soooo many gorgeous things in the shops at the moment, it is actually paining me not to be buying them all up. And it doesn't help that there are sales on EVERYWHERE! Ordinarily, that would be a good thing, but when you are not supposed to be spending at all, that means even sales aren't allowed. I'm cheering myself up by reminding myself that whenever I try to sale shop, they never have anything left in my size anyway. Plus, sales make me buy things I don't really want, just because they are going cheap, and they I have nothing left to invest in items I really have been lusting after. So there, sales. I don't like you anyway.

This week, I have decided to try something a little bit different, and so my picks are coming to you in the form of a collage. If I'm honest, I am just trying to figure out how to use Picasa, so what you see here was my first little dalliance with that. Please do let me know what you think in the comments below, whether you like to see my wishlists in collage form, or if you prefer my usual, more traditional format.

These three lonely guys didn't make it into the collage, for some reason, but check out how gorgeous they are, and how bargainous the bright printed scarf is!

Print Scarf, £7 (Sale), Miss Selfridge

Skull Print Blouse, £11.49, Ebay

(Originally Primark, not sure if it's currently in store or not.)
