Etsy is my new best friend!

I don't think I have ever been more excited than when I have look around on Etsy to see what I will find this time. It's a treasure trove full of wonderful handmade and vintage items and I wish I had an unlimited amount of money so I could buy every beautiful item that I see!!

However today I decided I would look specifically for princess-y items. And there are some exquisite examples out there. Bear in mind though that I found so many handmade items that I didn't even start looking in the vintage section for fear my head may explode from jealousy that I didn't have those things!

I'll start off with this adorable little bracelet from jacarandadesigns.


With it's dainty and elegant design I think this would make any girl feel like she had something special wrapped round her wrist.

I feel this is the appropriate time to unleash my love of lockets. Big or small, fancy or simple, I adore them all and every time i wear one it makes me feel almost magical. Like there is something precious inside them, even if there isn't physically anything in there. I am sure I will be writing about this slight obsession many times however for now I shall restrain myself to featuring just two lovely examples I have found. The first gorgeous one is from BijouxOdalisque and is something that I shall probably only be able to dream about.


However this one from poetsummer is slightly more affordable.


Now on to the ultimate princess items that I have found and I would probably marry anyone who bought me both of these. Please don't do that though. It would be highly unlikely to work in the long run as it would be based on material possesions. ANYWHO, enough of my ramblings and on to this scrumptious looking tiara from acpetrille. Jewels and pearls galore, it is perfect for any princess. :)


And how could a princess post be complete without a mention of Disney. They know exactly how to create the perfect princess and ladysolo has replicated this perfectly in her Belle dress.

Introduction! :)

Hello!

Well this is my blog. I'm Viki, I am 18 and I live in England :) I was always a girly girl at heart but like most teenagers I went through what I thought was a "rebellious" stage where I turned slightly goth/emo. So many of my friends may be surprised at the content of this blog :P


The above picture is a card from sweetpeaink's Etsy store and is how I was inspired to write this blog. I will be writing mostly about many girly things that will make most men feel queasy at the sentimentality of it all :) Everything which will make us girls feel good about ourselves from clothing and jewellery to tasty treats and films and books, anything you could dream of really to make you feel like a princess! Who doesn't need a bit of pampering every now and again?

So I hope you enjoy it and will keep reading! :)

Love Viki
