Millennial magpies
Worried about your teens' choice of arm candy? Problem solved. Millie Pink's new bracelets are cool, colourful and less trouble than a crush.
Is there a tricker age group to buy for than pesky tweens and teens? It’s a nightmare. But relax, we have it, like, totally covered with added hashtags and emojis and everything, thanks to the brilliant Millie Pink.
Owner Kirsten has just launched a cool collection of affordable jewellery, purses and cute stationary specifically aimed older girls. In fact they look so freaking good, you’ll be stealing off them for a change.
You’ll find lots of pretty arm candy, like these silver plated charm bracelets. They’re available in glitter or velvet bands with a solid silver or rose gold heart or star charm (£12). Once you’ve chosen colour and charm, it will be packaged with a cute message (BFF/ Shine bright like a diamond/ You’re a star/ dream big) and arrives in a stunning midnight blue box. The rainbow glitter bracelets may have accidentally been purchased by me and I get endless comments about it too. There’s no issue with sizing, the charms are well made and weighty and is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of the most surly teen.
Want to stop them raiding your jewellery box? Check out the bling. The rainbow silver half hoops, £16, are all shades of Fab.U.Lous Literally. Embrace the celestial trend with a delicate double layer stars and moon necklace, £20. I’m loving the silver moon charm hoops, and they’re only £12. I could pay that in Accessorize and they would last 5 minutes. And as someone who is partial to a bangle, the gold star bangle, £19, is bringing out the magpie in me.
What else? Well, this rainbow coin purse keyring, £10, has a bit of an Anya Hindmarch vibe. Fun, funky and useful for those moments when you need a £1 for the supermarket trolley. *Cough* Or your kids’ lunch money. In fact, just sling it on your bag as charm. I love it. And it’s an absolute steal.
Finally if you need to motivate your teenager as they head back to school/ college/ uni, this Goal Digger journal, £12 is a must. It’s an undated week to week agenda for them to plot their goals (and social lives) in blush pink and gold splendour. I think I need on of these in my life too. In fact, forget the teen shopping dream, buy it all for yourself. They’ll borrow it anyway.
