OK, it’s been a while — and you knew it was coming eventually. No, my Anglophilia hasn’t quite abated… I’m just doing a better job of not constantly talking about London! It’s hard to forget about my favorite city when I have friends like The Magnificent Stacy sending me links to stuff that further fuels my obsession. Like, say, these earrings from ASOS, a British online fashion store.
I like looking at things in pounds — mostly because I’m terrible at math, and I sort of, um, “guess-timate” how much items cost without actually figuring it out.
Cue ASOS’s currency exchange function. My adorable Union Jack embroidered stud earrings, which are on sale for £4.25, come out to $7.27 US. Still not bad, not bad at all . . . but I like imagining they’re around $4 better! Meh, I’m going to break down and buy them.
Other British goodies catching my attention right now? Let’s pop over to Etsy, my absolute favorite guilty pleasure, shall we?
Hail Brittania teacup pincushion by KellyHendersonDesign, $22
London skyline bracelet by GetPersonalArt, $30
London -- boxed set of 10 notecards by milktoasty, $8
Set of 3 tea time postcards by Lilley, $4
Those earrings are very cute!
I”ve seen those note cards before, they are adorable as are the earrings. You and me both when it comes to talking about London. That’s why we blog, eh?
That bracelet. Most creative thing. Ever.
Isn’t it amazing?! I couldn’t believe it was actually… wearable!
All of it looks so great!! But really why do you torture yourself!!???
Oh, are we having tea and little cakes? Mmmmm …
Great review, and thank you for the recommendation:)
