A couple of months ago a friend from work had this cute bracelet on with a Viv Westwood orb on it. I was curious as to where she got it from and she introduced me to Amy McSkully on instagram.
Boy did I fall HARD!!
Not only is Amy a BABE, she is Scottish too!
(and I am so inlove with her gorgeous dog Homer!)
She makes the weirdest jewellery that I have seen in a while. And we all know that weird is wonderful to me!
After lusting for a few things on her website mcskully.com, I eventually bought a few items and I am so happy with them.
You can tell she is really passionate about what she does.
Everything comes so nicely packed. Even the envelope was fricking pink!
Super inlove with this Bee necklace!
So yup. go visit her website www.mcskully.com and buy all the pretty things!!
I saw another great blogger Hayz at Snap.That.Curvy.Gal, post about some jewellery she got from mcskully.com and as I am such a nosy parker I had to have a look. The Glasgow based Jewellery Company specialises in kitsch little items which are light on the pocket but heavy on fashion impact! Amy (the owner) is just a lovely as her jewellery and can be found on twitter here @AmyMcskully
I had a snoop and swooped on an eye catching black Perspex bumble bee necklace. It really did attract my attention and I couldn’t resist the urge so I grabbed it and ran! (Not before paying obviously). With free P&P to the UK, it arrived within a couple of days. It was literally a little piece of treasure in my post box. Wrapped flatteringly in pretty paper I was even more surprised to find I had been given a free bead bracelet! (Thanks Amy!).
The Perspex bee is on a quality silver chain and doesn’t feel cheap or vulgar. It really feels like a unique one off. One of those necklaces that people ask about. I thought it worked well to give a bit of edge to my dress.
Just to show you what other amazing stuff is waiting for a new home over at McSkully.com and to torture myself, this is my little wishlist.

Melodies & Musings Review
http://melodiesandmusingsx.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/mcskully-jewellery-review.htmlIt can't have been that long ago that I stumbled upon McSkully
jewellery. I believe it was through Instagram. I clicked on the link to
the website and immediately thought 'this is awesome!'. I love bold,
interesting, and unique jewellery despite not owning much of it! So I
was very happy to find Amy's website.
The site itself is well designed - you can view the products full name
and price by hovering over an image with your mouse. The colour scheme
is good and does not distract from the jewellery while still retaining a
unique feel. It's a site that I could use for a long time without any
eye strain or problems.
The packaging itself was wonderful - everything was secure, well wrapped
and bubble wrapped, and you could tell it had a lot of thought put into
it.
The main piece of packaging inside the outer layer. I love animal print so this was a lovely surprise!
Everything still in their packages, as you can see they are really well put together.
The jewellery itself - everything is very well designed and solidly built. The handbag is made from a gorgeously soft faux leather, and I adore the logo. The bracelets feel very strong, unlike other bracelets made from elastic. They use beautiful colour combinations and just look really pretty! The earrings are brilliant too, I love the diamond design and the drips just make it look even better - you can tell the design has been thought about.
All the items from McSkully are well priced, and in my opinion, worth more than you pay for them! I am very impressed with everything - from the quick, free postage, the delightful packaging, to the lovely products themselves.
There are plenty of other items on McSkully which I would love to purchase, the serotonin necklace being a particular favourite of mine. Hopefully I will be able to place another order soon. There aren't a lot of companies that I can certainly say I would re-order from, but McSkully is one of them.
Hayley Flynn (Snap That Curvy Gal) Review
http://snapthatcurvygal.wordpress.com/Hey Everyone (:
So I am very excited to introduce to you McSkully jewellery by Amy McFadyen. I actually discovered this unique, kitsch jewellery maker on instagram! I noticed a friend of mine had liked a picture of her jewellery so I got intrigued had a look, fell in love and the rest is history
McSkully.com was started in 2011, Amy started off making kitsch jewellery for Ebay and quickly realised the demand for unique jewellery.
‘I specialise in kitsch. The words that describe my items would be retro, grunge, perspex, medical, cute, unique, kawaii and faux.’ (quote by Amy from www.mcskully.com)
There are so many amazing bits on McSkully that it was hard for me to chose between! I absolutely love kitsch fruit jewellery popular among many celebrities including the lovely Katy Perry, so I had to have these two bracelets! I also picked out these cute rings, one with a panda face on and one with fruit on! they were adjustable so could be worn on any finger and as a normal ring or midi! possibilities are endless (;
My last item was a pair of faux chanel earrings! these are super cute and look so high quality! we don’t all have a superstars bank balance so these are a great substitute.
My items arrived the day after I ordered them! I was very impressed with the delivery and they were packed beautifully in a pink bag and gift wrapped inside!
As I was unwrapping the paper I was filling up with excitement to see my new jewellery! I was impressed with how well presented they were in a little packet with some lovely leaflets about McSkully.com with discount codes! (at the bottom) The first thing I noticed when getting my new jewellery out the packets was that they were very high in quality. I have bought a few bits of kitsch jewellery on Ebay in the past and quality has been very poor and its broken very easily. I would recommend the quality of all the items I have received from McSkully.com and I have already prepared a wish list of what Im going to order next time!
If your not already tempted to get some McSkully jewellery here are some discounts: MCSKULLY10 - For 10% off your next order and if you spend £25 or more you will get 20% off! Come one guys I know your tempted! (;

Hey Everyone!
So today I unintentionally went for a rather lady like look! I knew I needed to wear my new bargain Primark dress! (£7 to be exact!) I had not yet tried it on so wasn’t entirely sure how it would look, as you can see its a rather lady like get up! Especially with my Fearne Cotton @ Very shrug! I Seem to be a little obsessed with wearing that at the moment!
I was very excited about my jewellery today! I had just this weekend
bought these cute adjustable rings from Primark and they are an exact
match for my nail polish so yay! (;
I also Received this gorgeous faux Chanel necklace from McSkully.com!
Yes you heard right this is my second order to the site in less than a
week.. I can feel an addiction coming on! You can hardly blame me though
her jewellery is stunning! Amy at McSkully also kindly gave me this
very lovely kitsch hello kitty bracelet for free! Thank you very much

Cait Thomson Review
After writing an article in the magazine Source, in which I mentioned Amy, the mastermind behind McSkully
- she very kindly sent me some goodies that I thought I would tell you a
little bit about because I'm completely in love with them and Amy's
entire range of jewellery for that matter!
McSkully is
basically a kitch online jewellery store where the whole ethos of the
store is about creating unique, interesting designs that are amazing to
look at but also affordable. I've been friends with Amy for a while and
have loved her work for a long time. I had one of her unique phone cover
designs for ages which I completely loved - so if you're thinking about
getting a new phone cover, you should check the website out as it isn't
just bling for you, but for your iPhone too!
As a thank
you gift for writing about her, Amy was amazing enough to send me two
pieces from her collection. The first thing I opened was the Snitch
necklace which I absolutely love. If you know me, or have been reading
my blog for a while I'm sure I'll have mentioned by slight obsession
(since childhood, may I add) of Harry Potter. I'm a bit of a Potter geek
and Amy knows me way too well! I love this Snitch necklace and can't
wait to wear it this Summer. It's lovely and dainty and I think it will
look amazing with a black maxi dress. It retails for £8.99 on Amy's
website, cheap as chips!
Amy also
popped some little orange earrings into my little package, which I think
are adorable and totally apt for the Summer months. On the website, you
can also grab little fruity rings for a teeny tiny £1.99.
I urge you
to go and have a look at the products available from McSkully as I
guarantee you'll fall in love with everything as much as I did. If
you're looking for some affordable statement jewellery to spruce up a
Summer outfit, you know where to go to find it!
