The Kool Aid Kid discovers greatness...

When wandering down Drury Lane (yes people, home to the muffin man) today, I discovered the most amazing shop and promptly spent £70 on jewellery.

I have an illness... I'm aware of it...

Happie Loves It !!!!

Clothes seem hand made, the designs are fresh, urban and kooky.

Happie combines the perfect mix of tea dresses, structured skirts and shirts and kooky, bling'd and snuggly accessories.


So get your butts on http://www.happielovesit.com/

I immediately fell in love with several items and have convinced the boy toy to take me there another day.

*sigh* 

Love at first sight.

If only all relationships were that easy...

XOXO

The Kool Aid Kid's Latest Purchase

I'm a huge fan of Tom Binns, a jewellery designer whose designs are favoured by people like Michelle Obama and SJP in 'Sex and the City'.

And as a jewellery collector, only one thing stands in the way of me buying it all... and that's the price.

as seen on Eva Longoria

But thank the powers that be for 'Disney' (who'd ever think they'd hear me say that?!)

Disney Couture have comissioned Tom Binns to create a range of jewellery for Alice In Wonderland- my favourite childhood Disney film and book.

It's a win/ win situation!

They're bang on trend with the current British obssession with Keys, Vintage, Alice In Wonderland, Kooky feel that we have going on.

They'll go great with either the floral/ hippy/ festival or rock chick look.

http://www.asos.com/ have an excellent range of Disney Couture Jewellery that's a really good price.

I have just bought myself the following two pieces from http://www.zentosa.com/

Disney Couture Alice in Wonderland Silver ID Key Bracelet

£25.00

How excited am I!?!?!?!?!

Not only were  they reasonably priced, UK delivery is free!!!!

Disney Couture Alice In Wonderland Multi Keys Charm Bracelet

£45.00

Disney and jewellery fans check it out!

Happy days

The Kool Aid Kid's Ode to Rockabilly Kitsch - Part 2 -

Following on from my previous post, I thought I should let rockabilly jewellery fans in on my latest find.

For my birthday this year my sister bought me some pieces http://www.meandzena.com/

Their tag line reads 'Jewellery for the unruly'

How fitting.

And as per usual I had to google it, just to see what the designer 'was saying'.

It was a lot. The bracelets are beautiful and the sayings tongue in cheek.

I suggest fans of the nautical trend, take a peek.


Over and out

The Kool Aid Kid's Latest Style Crush

...And as per usual...

It's jewellery! Surprise, surprise!

If you read fashion magazines like Vogue you may have seen these adverts before.

These beautiful pieces are by Stephen Webster. His website is just beautiful- and really speaks to my inner (if not overtly glamourous) rock chick self.

I love Xtina, she has become an 1940's and 50's style icon and these photo's show her in a beautiful light.

Take a closer look at his amazing designs and collections at http://www.stephenwebster.com/

...And try not to have palpitations at the prices! ;)

Serious Eye Candy

All Thing's Tatty Are Devine

http://www.tattydevine.com/ is a treasure trove of acrylic statement jewellery pieces that I have been craving for at least 2 or 3 years.

I'm actually surprised I don't own any of their pieces...

I think I should do something about that  real soon...

Do as I say, not as I do.

Buy something. It'll make you feel better.

XOXO

The Kool Aid Kid's Ode to Rockabilly Kitsch

I thought, why not share some hidden gems that I love?

I am a huge fan of the 1950's and 60's, some of my style icons include Mae West, Marilyn Monroe and Bette Davis.

I love 1960's Rock'n'Roll, Sock Hops and Dita Von Teese.

....I LOVE rockabilly.



Let this be the beginning of the blog's descent into the Kool Aid Kid's jewellery obssession...

Consider yourself warned ;)

I discovered http://www.ladyluckrulesok.co.uk/ randomly, in a supplement magazine of the Sunday Times in 2008.

And I purchased one of their personalised tattoo name necklaces- a bargain at just £15!

I have since gone on to buy several more pieces, purely because of the price and the look: sugar sweet with an edge.

After learning a little bit more about the rockabilly movement I began to research more online jewellery stores, because these sorts of pieces are not easy to come by n the british high street.

It was then that I discovered http://www.punkypins.co.uk/

They to make personalised necklaces - a bit of a favourite of mine; no one can steal them and pass them off as their own (unless they have the same name as you) and it takes edge off the whole "what's your name?) thing in bars.

WARNING: You may actually think they're staring at your tits- and if you have a difficult name to pronounce/ the other party is drunk you may see them squinting and attempting to sound out the sylables... Oh dear.




Happy Shopping!

XOXO
