Jewellery and Bag Haul !

A while back Colette had 50% off on all jewellery and needless to say I shopped ! I have also been wanting to buy a new bag and I found something that I really like. Today's post is my recent bag and jewellery haul :) Enjoy !

I bought three necklaces from Colette. 

I bought this fun colorful chunky necklace from Colette as I don't have anything in these colors. I got this for 8.48$.

I bought this diamante necklace in the black metal. I love this because it is a neutral piece and will go with everything. I got this for 8.48$.

Finally this pearl necklace, I love it because it is edgy as opposed to a lot of pearl necklaces. I got this for 6.48$.

On to the bags, I bought this bag from Strandbags. It is by the brand Marikai. This was for 69.99, I got this for 39$. 

I wanted to buy a black cross body bag. I bought this black with gold hardware from Sportsgirl (discounted 23$). 
 

What has been your recent best bargain ?

Chunky Arm Candy - Favorite Street Finds

Don't we all love jewellery, I was just randomly going through my stuff and realized a lot of pieces that I adore, were from Indian street markets (well mainly, only one is from HongKong). 

So, I decided I would do a post detailing that, so the next time you visit any of these places, you can shop till you drop :). India is perfect for street shopping, from Sarojini, GK, Lajpath in Delhi to Colaba Causeway in Mumbai to Johari n Bapu bazaar of Jaipur to Goa and the list goes on. Anyways hope you enjoy this arm candy post ..

Stack it up baby !

1. Goa Street Market (under 150 Rs/ 3$)
   I bought this chunky multi colored bangle from Goa. Its multicolored on a wooden base and sure makes a statement when you wear it ..The other two bangles with mini elephants printed on them look pretty stacked together and add a pop to your outfit.
   
   
   
   
   
    
   
   
2. Hong Kong Street Market (price not sure gifted)
   My sister bought these pretty enamel bracelets from Hong Kong, but really I have seen a lot of similar stuff everywhere in Delhi, Jaipur,etc.. These are fun n quirky way to style your outfit and almost go with anything..
   
   
   
   

   

   
   
   
   
3. Jaipur Street Market
   Jaipur has awesome street markets and is very famous for shopping..I bought these bangles from a street market and love them. Though these bangles are purple and green, they look very neutral when you wear them .. Pair them with a bright plain T and they look great :) - (Under 100Rs/ 2$ for the set)
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   These are pure silver bangles with Meena work (enamel) that were also bought at a Jaipur Market. They go well both with western n ethnic wear..I love the color combination (1000Rs/ 20$ each)
   
   
   
   
   
4. Sarojini Delhi Market (under 150 Rs/ 3$)
   Sarojini Market is a shopper's paradise. You can get everything possible there. I love this chunky rustic bangle. I love that it has gold, rose gold and silver together, is surely a statement piece, looks great on its own or stacked together. The multicolored bangles are great to stack on with other bangles n add are a good way to brighten your outfit ..
   
   
   
   

   

   
   
   
   
5. Ladakh Market (price not sure gifted)
   This is a piece that was gifted to me and is very special to me :). This was bought from Ladakh and I believe is from one of those tourist gift/jewellery shops. It is one of the vintage pieces that I have in my collection and I love it ..
   
   
   
   
   
   **Pls note all these were bought atleast one or two years ago. The pricing and the trends have changed since then**

Cheap but Chic Diaries - Rings from Lovisa

Today's 'Cheap but Chic Diaries' features rings from Lovisa. They have a 3 for $ 10 sale going on. I believe its mostly for earrings and rings. BTW they are having a mid season sale on a lot of stuff. I bought two statement rings and a small one for a change as they are easy to throw on whenever you want. Both the statement rings are quite edgy n trendy n I really like them. 

One is that aztec design and the other is more like a warrior ring with a mirror finish stone ..

I believe its always good to pick trendy pieces on sale n more classic pieces for the full price :) Hope you enjoyed Edition 3 of Cheap but Chic Diaries. Check out the previous ones HERE.

Cheap but Chic Diaries - Mini Jewelry Organizer

Todays 'Cheap but Chic Diaries' features a pretty little Jewelry Organizer from The Reject Shop. It was priced at 4 dollars.

As soon as I saw this pretty little thing my eyes were just stuck on it and I knew that I wanted it so bad . U ask why ? because it was pink, it was pretty, it was polka dotted and I knew it would look good on my dresser ..

Its a tiny organizer n honestly not very useful for storage. Its a cute piece to keep on your vanity to hang jewelry that is heavy on rotation. The pic on the left is how I have mine, just decorated with the stuff that I am leaning towards currently. This is also available in mint and baby blue color.

Hope you liked the second volume of 'Cheap but Chic Diaries'
