New Collection - Part 1

Hand Over Your Fairy Cakes are proud to announce our latest collection for Jan 2014! Glitter and mirrored acrylic feature heavily, with geometric shapes and also a few critters! Here's a closer look...

The Giant Hexagon Necklace is the main piece in our new collection; a statement necklace made from FORTY SEVEN individual acrylic pieces. Each hexagon is coloured mirror or glitter acrylic and I spent ages agonising over the final colour combination and layout. The acrylic surrounding the hexagons is matte black to provide a non-shiny contrast. It's almost 13cm wide - that's a lot of hexagons!

The Hexagon Necklace is the Giant Hexagon Necklace's baby sister, it's smaller but no less lovely. It has 19 individual pieces and is a significantly smaller 6.2cm wide.

There is also a Hexagon Brooch!

In keeping with the shiny theme, our new Marble Necklace (and Brooch coming soon) are made of mirrored acrylic and are a 2D version of the prettiest ever toys. I used to love my marble collection when I was little - I didn't even play with the best ones, just kept them in a box!

Do you think there's a resemblance?

Here's our long awaited Otter Spotter Necklace! He's made of brown, cream, white, black and matte black acrylic with engraved accents.

LOOK AT HIS CUTE LITTLE FACE.

Next is our new Bowling Pin Necklace and Brooch: these were inspired by date night in New York when we went to Brooklyn Bowl. It was such a cool place, I wanted to make something to remind me of it. We were pretty bad at bowling...

And here's the necklace and brooch!

Friday Wishlist 9

It's been ages since I've done one of these, but I'm struggling to restrain myself at the moment with the amount of lovely things in the shops, especially if they're on sale!

1. I might have accidentally already bought this Louche Jarren Dress from Joy. Look at it though, it's covered in OWLS! And it's only £45 in the sale, how could I not buy it? Right??

2. These amazing shoes seem to have the rather non-catchy title "Ultragirl Glitter 2 Multi Purple" but that doesn't make them less awesome. They're now £40 (from £65) in the Nonnon sale.

3. Mardi Gras nail polish in the Topshop sale for only £3. Hurrah!

4. Another thing I couldn't restrain myself from buying is this Sierra Bra from the Agent Provocateur sale. £25 reduced from £95! Bargain. And it's lovely. Look how smug this lady is.

5. If I fitted clothing in Large, I would totally be all over the last size of this Jellyfish Sweater by Sugar Pills. Its now 129 Polish Zloty which is the equivalent of just under £26. 

6. I love the colour of red of this Gem Cut Brooch by Tatty Devine. Now £19.50 from £65!

7. If I wore rings, I'd be right into this Out of This World Ring by Eclectic Eccentricity. So shiny!! Now £10 because slight seconds apparently....looks pretty perfect to me.

Notebooks

I'm a sucker for stationery, especially a good notebook. These are my favourites that I may or may not have accidentally spent all my money on.

1. People I want to punch in the face - 27th Street Press

2. Fox Notebook - Kate Broughton

3. It was a good idea at the time - Awkward Ladies Club

4. Potions Notebook - Celestefrittata

5. Monster Mountatin Notebook - Finest Imaginary

6. Stuff I'm likely to forget - Bread and Jam

Friday Wishlist 8

1. This gingham skirt from Nishe reminds me of picnics and sunshine. Also, it's covered in embroidered fruit. HURRY UP SUMMER.

2. Speaking of Summer, I love the bright colours in the latest colour way of this Tatty Devine classic Bunting Necklace.

3. Joy have always got about a million dresses I want and this Louche Enya Bird Dress is no exception. I love a mid-calf dress so I can rock granny-chic at work.

4. I Am Acrylic have released this amazingly cute Volcano Necklace made of pretty pearlescent white acrylic and contrasting fluorescent orange lava! Watch out trees!! I love natural disaster based jewellery.

5. I kind of love this t-shirt from Stories. It is all kinds of weird. There are rainbows and black stripy bits and....horses. Obviously.

6. I can't wait for this Twig Necklace from Wolf and Moon to be back in stock. I want one in every colour so I can wear them all at once and look like a crazy tree lady.

7. Is this not the coolest bag you've ever seen? It's called Radio Samira by Kate Spade and if I had a spare $298 I would be all over it.

Crazy Dresses

There's always a couple of items of clothing in a shop that you wonder what the designer was thinking. I thought I'd put together a wee collection of a few of the very odd dresses I've found on my travels around the internet.

1. Forever Unique have developed this slightly unusual dress that looks a bit like sparkly blood dripping down a poorly fitting, see through dress for ladies who are very good at using only 1 arm on a night out. A bargain at only £135.

2. ASOS have done it again with this Lace Biker Dress. What? You want to make a lace dress that looks like a biker jacket? Even the model looks confused.

3. Urban Outfitters have this weird Cocoon Dress which I imagine is meant to be an excuse to leave the house in an expensive attempt at a onesie.

4. This Faux Leather Diamond Neckline Dress from Chicwish is EXACTLY the colour of dog poo. Also, I can't get the theme tune from The Flintstones out of my head now.

5. The aptly named Futuristic Terrain Dress from Modcloth does indeed look like it's from a 60's sci-fi film. But in a bad way.

Have you found any monstrosities recently? If so, show me!
