Kukee Jewelry

Hello!

I would like to finally share my Kukee experience with you. It is a small store full of trendy, super cute and super cheap accessories. The quality is impressive, I have owned some or their jewelry for months now and they are like new. You are not likely to find this jewelry somewhere in another store and certainly not for this price.
Every smaller order comes in a cute package like this one:



And when you open it, a bright pink paper appears, with a sticker saying "Thanks for your purchase". Isn't that super lovely? No bigger company would every invest so much time in packaging!


Another adorable feature is that you sometimes get a little gift item with your order! This time I got dangly feather earrings in orange. I am not as much of a fan of orange as Bianca is, but I love how big they are and you can't deny that it is very fashionable color at the moment. And I love feather earrings so much as well! This color has sold out, but the earrings are still available in blue and pink.

super cute bags!

I have ordered an open above knuckle ringtwo silver above knuckle rings, a raw quartz necklace in gold (Nr. 9) and dangly feather chain earrings. You can find my unpacked items below:


My favorite piece in this order is the raw quartz necklace. I am very happy with it, I expected it to be smaller but it isn't so I am even more delighted. What bothers me is that I apparently ordered the wrong size for the two simple knuckle rings. Unfortunately they are too small, I will keep them anyway, maybe as a gift for a friend.
At the end, I have to tell you a little story about this order. I have ordered all of this once already, but the parcel obviously got lost. I have then contacted the owner and her reaction was surprisingly nice. She was so kind to resend my order and it finally reached me a week later. Thank you so much!
What is your Kukee experience? Do you have a favorite jewelry store?

B's Summer Accessories

Hi again!

While I was shooting my summer products photos, I thought I might also take a couple of snaps of the accessories/jewelry I've been loving in the past month or two. I get my jewelry from all kinds of places, but I do have a couple of shops where I always return! 


                                                                                                                                                            Here's the necklaces I've been wearing the most recently.
1/ ASOS silver and black necklace (it actually belongs with necklace #4, the thin golden triangle necklace). I love these two dainty little necklaces, because they are great to wear individually or paired together, which I like because it allows me to mix my golden and my silver jewelry easily. Sadly, these necklaces have now sold out, but you can find similar ones on the ASOS website! They also currently have a great sale on!
2/ For MONTHS, I'd been eye-ing this golden lions head chunky chain necklace, and for some reason I never came about buying it, until a couple of weeks ago. Crazy, I know, as it is one of the best necklaces I own and I am completely in love with it. I know it's very on trend right now and everyone including Rihanna and various fashion bloggers owns them, but that doesn't really bother me. You can buy them on Ebay, Plndr, and many other sites, but I got mine off this sweet little online jewelry store called Kukee (watch out, Kym has a review for you about them soon!), where I get a lot of my stuff from. You can get this lion's head necklace here (and it only costs 5 pounds).
3/ My number 3 is a necklace I got a couple of weeks ago in Vienna, at H&M, because I had a 30% off gift card on a full priced item. I love it! The quality is amazing, especially considering it's H&M and their necklaces can be a bit flimsy sometimes, but this one feels heavy and nice, and the blue and shimmery stones are perfect to dress up an outfit for a night out.
4/ Little triangle necklace via ASOS (see 1/)
5/ This golden and black thick beaded necklace is a piece I bought about 4 months ago at Forever 21. They had a turquoise version too, but ultimately I had to go for the black one, because everything I wear and love is black, and I am glad I did, as the black color makes the necklace seem a lot more expensive than it was. Money well spent!


Next up, my "summer rings": I have a HUGE ring collection, as I am very much a ring lady (I can wear up to 10 rings at a time...). These are my rings of the moment: Purple glitter stone ring (Accessorize), Silver detail ring (thrifted: my all-time favorite ring since forever), brown shimmery stone ring (Accessorize), thin woven golden heart ring (friendship ring with Kym from Forever 21), thin silver woven ring with turquoise stone (Accessorize), twisted hands ring (ASOS).



                                                                                                                                                           
And finally, my every day watch, some earrings and a couple of other little gems I have been sporting nearly every day these past few weeks: White daisy hair band (River Island), Handmade Red Rose Flower Crown (Beauxoxo on Etsy), silver mini Casio watch (via ASOS), roman coin anklet (River Island, similar here), Door Knocker Lion's Head Earstuds (both via Kukee).

What I bought

I went to Primark today with a friend. I planed not to spend a lot of money, but as usual I ended up buying clothes and accessories for nearly 50€. At the cash register, I realized that I have bought one entire outfit, which wasn't on purpose at all!


I have chosen an oversized blouse in khaki, black long leggings, a studded black belt, pyramid shaped earrings and black front closed sandals.
The vest is made out of a super light material which makes it perfect for summer. I am very impressed about the leggings because they are made out of viscose so they are super soft. The leggings I usually by are from H&M but they wear out quickly and are expensive compared to those from Primark.


The studs on the belt are really small and pyramid shaped. The only belts I have in my wardrobe are plain and actually quite boting, so I went for something simple but a bit more fancy.


I have always wanted pyramid shaped earrings in gold. I am very happy with them, they are not too oversized but still eye-catching. I have to add here that I barely ever wear earrings, I don't even know why. Maybe it's because I usually wear necklaces and I think necklaces and earrings together are a bit too much, but that's because I'm a minimalist.


And the best comes last: my new sandals. I have searched for some like these everywhere and unfortunately Austria is not known for how fashionable and up to date it is. These beauties are made out of real leather and they were the last in the entire shop. I was so happy to see that they are exactly my size and they also fit really well. This is my favorite buy of today.
Do you like shopping at Primark? Is there anything you have found lately that you have searched for for a very long time?
