Shoegazer Wordsearch: Peacock

Wordsearch posts are where I will pick a word as a theme, search high and low on the internet for related goodies and then present you with the cream of the crop from my findings, here on this blog. I will try and cover jewellery, homeware, clothing, accessories etc based on or related to the chosen word in some way. Got that? I hope so! Please feel free to suggest themes and words for future Wordsearch posts and I'll do my best to rise to the challenge! This week I've stuck to using Etsy for the finds ...

The sun has finally put his hat on, and when the weather's hot most of us start hankering for the beach. So this week's Friday Finds are all seaside and nautical themed to help you spruce up your summer with some beachy-beauties . . .

Above: No trip to the beach would be complete without a bucket and spade right? No matter how old you are! So get this vintage tin bucket and spade from Dotcomgiftshop and you'll be crafting castles in no time. Try to resist smashing up those of little kids so that yours is the best on the beach... I know it's hard... but just let it go.

Above: Everyone loves a summer scarf. and I particularly love this swallow print one from Accessorize - so much I may go hunting for it tomorrow!

Above: Last but not least, the classic, unbeatable, naff 80s classic - The Jelly Shoe! We should accept none of these fashionable, overpriced jelly shoe immitators and stick to the good old, cheap as chips, bog standard ones we had as kids. I'm sure you can pick some up from any decent seaside gift shop (why not grab a Kiss Me Quick hat whilst you're there?? Go on.... ) Revisit your childhood and GIVE YOURSELF SOME HAPPY 80s FEET!
