Review: Disney x BaubleBar Minnie Mouse Rainbow Bow Earrings

Last year I purchased a Disney x BaubleBar jewellery collaboration mystery box from the now defunct DoubleboxToys. I finally got around to unboxing the items to use as prizes so here’s my take on the Minnie Mouse Head Silver Tone Stud earrings. 

These Minnie Mouse Head Silver Tone stud earrings are for pierced ears and measure 1/2x1/2”. They are based on the iconic Minnie Mouse head and bow. They are small elegant studs which stay true to the instantly recognisable silhouette of Minnie’s ears, head and iconic bow. It’s a shame that they are only silver tone as they would be great to wear as everyday studs that don’t need to be taken out as they lie flat against the way and there is nothing that can snag and rip the earring out. I haven’t worn them as they are a prize. 

I like these earrings. They are different to the existing Disney/ Minnie Mouse designs. Sadly it doesn’t look as though BaubleBar have any stockists in the UK and can only be found in TKMaxx which is a shame. I like both the Disney collab and BaubleBar’s standard lines. I am put off, however, by the original £€£ RRP and the fact that the majority of their designs are gold or silver tone not at least gold or silver plate. There are a few sterling silver designs on their website but they do not shop to the UK and they have no plans to start doing so. I would expect some type of plating for the prices that are charged.

Review: Disney x BaubleBar Minnie Mouse Rainbow Bow Earrings


Baublebar Minnie earrings
Last year I purchased a Disney x BaubleBar jewellery collaboration mystery box from the now defunct DoubleboxToys. I finally got around to unboxing the items to use as prizes so here’s my take on the Minnie Mouse Rainbow Bow gold tone earrings for pierced ears.

These earrings are for pierced ears and measure 1x1.5”. They are based on the iconic Minnie Mouse posing in her red dress and bow but they have elevated her look. Her red dress sparkles with red gems and her iconic bow is covered in sprinkles making the whole look seem very tactile and eye catching. The earrings feel very light despite looking like they should be heavy (I haven’t worn them as they are a prize). They are gold toned.

#win Chamilia Sterling Silver Bowtique Minnie Mouse Necklace & Earrings

 

Anyone remember Chamilia which was a Swarovski owned company? They closed in 2020. They did several collaborations with Disney and Harry Potter. They weren’t cheap but were well made and aimed more for the adult market than children. The pieces weren’t screaming Disney but if you were a fan you knew. 

I purchased a few pieces when stores were selling the jewellery items off, put them in a box in my prize cupboard and forgot about them. I found it when I was emptying out the cupboard of doom last week, so for the next few months I will be giving items away. 

The first prize I shall be giving away is the Minnie Mouse Bowtique Sterling Silver necklace and studs (for pierced ears). I have 2 sets so shall give away one here and one on Instagram- you can enter both. The Bowtique set is very understated- the earrings are tiny sterling silver Minnie bows set with sparkling crystals. The sterling silver necklace has a small built in extender and a larger bow which matches the studs.

Review: Disney Store Mickey & Friends Hot Air Ballon Hanging Ornament


 
This ornament very much reminds me of the huge hanging display in the World of Disney shop at Disneyland Paris, expect here the ballon is Mickey’s hand and at DLP it is a ship. This ornament is £13 and includes Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy. It can be free standing or hung up. It is made from resin and measures 13x5x7.5cm. There is a silver tone 2020/Disney charm on the hanging loop.

Disney Store Minnie Mouse Classic Ears Headband Ornament


 I first saw the Disney Store Minnie Mouse Classic Ears Headband Ornament on eBay last year (it hadn’t been released then in the U.K.) but the shipping was astronomical. I was pleased to see it appear in this year’s Christmas hanging ornament selection. There are two more colour ways but I prefer this one. I intend to use this in my Disney flatlays and Disney jewellery posts. The miniature headband is perfect. The sequin red bow congrats perfectly with the black satin hanging ribbon and headband. The sequins shine and flint so perfectly and it is a great size to show off necklaces.  As a festive ornament it hangs very well. It measures 4x4.5” including the bow.
