GIVEAWAY: Ji Ji Kiki Boutique
Also, recieved a special package in the mail from Ji Ji Kiki, and I just adore the 'Petit Lapin' necklace sent to me as a birthday present!
More pics of this outfit and day, maybe in the next post!
Emma, who runs Ji Ji Kiki, has agreed to answer a few questions about her business and herself too.
Let's start with an introduction to what Ji Ji Kiki is?
Ji Ji Kiki is an online boutique with a vintage, kitsch and kawaii touch. We sell jewellery, accessories and clothing from a selection of independent designers from around the world.
Emma, now tell me a bit about yourself and what inspires you.
I've always wanted to run my own business and whilst at uni I sold vintage jewellery and accessories on eBay. I loved it and did quite well from it (it kept me in gig tickets!) so when I left uni I decided to carry on.
I did a couple of temp jobs when I left uni, but as the business started getting busier I decided to take the plunge, setting up a website and running Ji Ji Kiki full time-luckily its paid off. It can be a lot of hard work and sometimes when I'm packaging orders or making jewellery at 2 o'clock in the morning I wonder if I'm mad but then I think of my friends having to sit in rush hour traffic everyday...which makes me feel better ;)
Where do you want to see Ji Ji Kiki Boutique in 5 years' time?
I'd love to keep building and expanding the number of indie designers we stock, to be the place to go if you want something quirky and unique. We've only been stocking clothes for the last couple of months, so that is definitely something we'll be expanding too.
I love getting our customers involved in the site and getting their feedback on our Facebook page and through emails. I think the interaction between online shops and customers is so important as you don't have the face-to-face interaction you would with a bricks and mortar shop.
Now, the gorgeous *GIVEAWAY* for all of you guys out there who read my little blog :)
There are three pieces up for grabs:
Vintage Paris, Je t'aime necklace
Sadoko Origami Crane necklace, in either Silver or Gold
Retro Camera necklace in red or black

- Comment below with your email address, which of the above necklaces is your fave and why.
- Followers get an extra entry, so follow me via Bloglovin of Google Connect and let me know in your comment <3
- Become a fan Ji Ji Kiki on Facebook for another entry!
I will announce the winner of this give-away on the 21st of September.
ALSO: Emma has been so kind, she's set up a 15% discount for you guys, my readers! You just need to enter the code TEEFAME at the checkout to get the discount. It will expire on 20th September, so get cracking :)
Just a small reward for my readers & followers; you guys are the ones who keep me blogging on, even when I feel like resigning myself to reading everyone else's blogs and giving up! I really appreciate the support more than you know :)
So click through to Ji Ji Kiki Boutique - Emma's got a huge range of kitsch, adorable and quirky jewellery which is SO affordable (shipping is free for UK orders, £3.50 (approx $5.40 USD/$5.80 AUD) for international orders and free for orders over £40) and also hit up the Ji Ji Kiki Facebook page for updates.
Have a great weekend everyone!
I'm going to go and get ready for my 18th part-ay now ;)

ps. are you guys on holidays yet?! holidays ftw!
One of my best friends, who I don't get to see very much since moving away to university, had a phase of making me a different oragami creation every day for a while, he got quite good after a while! Oragami always reminds me of him now!

My favourite necklace would have to be the oragami necklace because it is so unique and just looks too cute to ignore. I cant make anything oragami so it would be pretty cool to be able to wear one.

I LOVE the crane... My partner just designed one as a tattoo and I would love to give this too her!
red retro camera necklace: because it's nice and i only ever wear rings or necklaces LOL and because you commented on my blog and it was at the bottom and i thought 'oh i could win something' so im being honest rather than writing a corny reason.
I'm loving your blog- am following you now :)
The Origami Crane necklace (in silver!) is definitely my fave, mainly because i LOVE origami!! My desk is covered with it!

Great blog.
I like the camera necklace, simply because it perfectly defines what I like to do in my freetime: take pictures. Whether its food porn, nice scenery, or just hanging out with a good group, you're bound to see me with a camera.
