I'm the worlds worst blogger….

Hi Everyone! 

It's official, i'm the worlds worst blogger. 
Juggling jewellery making, updating the website, managing the social media and packing orders has totally dominated all my time recently (which is amazing!) but it's left very little time for blogging so I apologise for my lack of presence in this area.

Loads of exciting things have happened this year and Cheap Frills has definitely faced new and exciting challenges along the way. I'm far better at regularly updating my instagram and Facebook pages so if your not following me already, please pop by those platforms and say Hi. 

A few months ago, the super talented Gemma Correll posted this hilarious illustration on her instagram, based on the Cheap Frills Aphrodite Mood Ring
I was lucky enough to meet Gemma a while back now when we were both at the Mama San web launch. 
She's a lovely lady and a blooming pen-punn genius too!

Recently, i've started working in real silver and precious materials (how terribly grown up!). It's all very new to me and something i'm going to keep working on. Ive already introduced my first handmade silver item to the web shop these cute little Ice-cream stud earrings… 


I'm planning on getting the little Love letter earrings up online soon too. 

I was super excited when the fabulous Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter started following me over on twitter.
Louise has a huge influence in the world of fashion and accessories so it was pretty exciting that she had discovered Cheap Frills.
I've since become a sponsor on Sprinkle of Glitter and here are some lovely words Louise had to say about my shop… 

What a darl! 

There are exciting things on the horizon. I'm planning lots of new products, which i'll gradually be making/popping up onto the website. I'm toying with the idea of a Cheap Frills youtube channel. I'm a visual & hands-on person so I might find making/editing videos easier and more enjoyable than blog writing. I'd possibly be answering questions about me and my jewels, tutorials, speaking about other brands I love. Is this something you might like to see?

I'm off to walk doggies and drink wine with my girl pal Gemma from Rock'a'frilly now.
Have a fabulous bank holiday weekend everyone!

A Brief Encounter...

Last Tuesday I visited the Victorias Secret flagship store on New Bond Street, London. The gigantic boudoir is split into 4 floors- to say that your spoilt for choice is an understatement...
For a gal who loves a bit of lace, neon and jewels I was not disappointed!
The costumes from Victoria's Secret catwalk extravaganza are displayed all around the shop, along with lots of framed model portraits upon the walls.

The glitzy emporium also stocks all 15 VS fragrances,
 including the a limited-edition perfume called 'London'.
I spent ages in there deciding what to buy 
but in the end I went for these...
I fell in love with the candy and leopard combo and went for a classic (safe option) black bra too. The bras were £28 each but you could buy two for £44. The knickers were 5 for £20 and there is 
a HUGE selection to choose from. 
I can't stress how beautifully the bras fit. The knickers are so comfy and unlike lots of underwear shops they are pretty generous sizes too. 

Have you been yet? If not make a visit, you won't be disappointed!

Comfort In Biscuits

I recently discovered Nikki McWilliams Design and I'm in love!
  The super talented Nikki McWilliams is a designer and maker, based in Dundee. Inspired by her lifelong love of tea and a biscuits, Nikki has created these delicious designs...
 
   Party Ring Cushions! £29.50
 
There's nothing quite like a party ring to bring back memories of
Birthdays past. I adore these cushions! The colours are so beautiful together. You can buy them as a set of three too-
Who could ever have just one party ring anyway?  
 
Tunnock bar £44.50 and Teacake cushions £29.50
 
How gorgeous are these beauties? Perfect for some more
childhood nostalgia.
 
The classics! Nice Biscuit and Malted Milk Cushions. Both £29.50
All cushions are hand screen-printed by Nikki.
 
Imagine how amazing a mixture of these cushions would look
stacked up on a sofa.
 
 
For a slightly smaller taste of Nikki's work, why not treat yourself to one of her biscuit brooches £6 each
