Happy Flair is a super cheery box of bits and bobs from the team at Punky Pins, one of my favourite indie jewellery and accessories companies.
You can opt for pin only or full flair, which obviously is very me. Each month’s box is themed and slipped through the letterbox by the postman.
This month’s is full of all things green. I love my plants, mostly cacti and succulents, and clearly the Happy Flair team have the same taste in plants.
Inside the box are stickers, a postcard, pin, necklace, patch and a note card. Each box is different but this may just be my favourite.
Happy Flair is a new subscription box from the team behind Punky Pins – a box full of accessories and stationery curated around a theme. Last month’s was Alice in Wonderland and this month’s is cult favourite Clueless, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
I had to explain what Clueless is to the Mr, who has never seen it. Hopefully I don’t have to do that here. If you haven’t seen it – it’s on Netflix.
Each box is designed to fit through the letterbox and packed full of brightly coloured flair. Brooches, badges, a necklace, postcards and more. Here’s some snaps.
Cher’s unique style of plaid suits features too – the clothes in the film were pretty fantastic.
These boxes are great fun and would make fab gifts for someone else or yourself.
#fashionfriday is an occasional series where I talk fashion.
Today I thought I’d share some of my favourite jewellery sites, with an emphasis on indie companies.
I am a total magpie, if I see something shiny, I have to have it, and I do love a bit o’ bling to make an outfit pop. Some of the best places to buy fun, purse friendly costume jewellery are online.
Punky Pins has a big social media presence but is a small UK based company making fun acrylic and enamel accessories. Like these pins
And my favourite flamingo necklace.
Love Layyanah is a brand I only recently discovered via Instagram. The quirky gold and silver necklaces, bracelets and rings are affordable and fun. Plus the customer service is excellent.
Selection of lovely things
Blackheart Creatives I discovered through twitter. Based in Bristol, these fiends with a laser cutter, their acrylic bling is fun and a little bit trashy (which is a good thing). I want these awesome earrings.
Anyone else now got the song wedged in their brain?
They do a DIY jewellery subscription box, which is great fun and allows you to get creative and make something bespoke in front of Netflix (Kimmy Schmidt binge anyone?)
I am a total magpie, I love shiny things and have a crazy amount of jewellery.
Pretty much
So as I can’t stand this cold and gloomy weather and shiny things cheer me up, I thought I’d give you lovely people a chance to win this very cute Punky Pins necklace.
To enter, all you have to do is post a comment telling me what cheers you up when it’s cold and grey outside. Simple as that. You have till next Wednesday (25th November) and then I will put all the names in a hat and pick a winner.
