Pastel Bokeh: 2012

Hi everyone!

A while ago, I was invited to review some jewellery by Cherry Baby, a UK based online accessories boutique inspired by all things pretty, fun and fresh. And how could I ever say no to pretty jewellery? Their collections consist of unique accessories which are perfect to get the celebrity inspired look at very affordable prices (starting from just £2). A good number of the pieces found at Cherry Baby are handmade using recycled and vintage materials, but they also do custom-made and limited edition items.

The A/W 2012 collections - namely Pop Art, Retro, Wonderland, Have a little Faith, and Vintage Lover - have now launched on the Cherry Baby website, and include rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, pendants, hair accessories, compact mirrors and sunglasses, all with super cute charms and Cherry Baby’s signature bright colours and images. We should also expect to see more pieces inspired by the 80s, My Little Pony, Care Bears, She Ra! and so much more. How exciting is that? I’m especially looking forward to the My Little Pony and Care Bears collections, which remind me of my childhood days!

I was given the opportunity to choose my favourite item from their website, and I immediately fell for the Cat Chase necklace (for obvious cat obsession reasons :)). Together with the necklace, the lovely people at Cherry Baby sent me a surprise item – the Birds Nest ring. Unfortunately, the ring is a bit too small for my chubby fingers as it is not adjustable. However, I will surely put good use to it, maybe I'll wear it as a pendant. I’ll see where my creativity takes me. Both pieces are really pretty, and not something one would find in each and every store. I am mostly looking forward to wear the cat necklace. I love the contrasting colours of its charms.
