Is anyone good at finding things online? I need a bit of help...

I'm off to a gig on Friday, with dd1, and we're dressing up (not just us!). Anyway, dd1 suggested jewel thiefs but my jewellery suggestions have all been not Louvre-ey enough apparently 🙄. So, if anyone's at a loose end...do you fancy finding me some jewellery for our costumes? As Louvre-ey as you like (I think she's thinking along the lines of the attached pic - they're from Shein & wouldn't arrive at either address before Friday).

Ideally as cheap as chips, and definitely need to arrive to a London address by Thursday so we have the buffer of Friday to raid Primark if they don't arrive.

(We checked Primark yesterday, in Manchester, there wasn't very much in there tbh).

Thank you!

It’s the speed that’s the problem here, youve left it a bit late.

Can you buy a queen or princess fancy dress accessories kids set? Claire’s accessories would have something? Look for local fancy dress shops selling accessories.

It won’t look as ‘real’ but if it goes missing at the party once youre drunk you won’t mind!

Oh and Amazon prime could perhaps do next day delivery if you get online. I think matalan do fancy dress if you have one near you.

Yep, I totally agree it's the speed that's the problem. We umm-ed, and aah-ed too long & now don't have much time to sort it!

I'll have a hunt for places that sell kids fancy dress near me, didn't think of that!

I have a few bits we could maybe supplement with. I'll have a rummage - I do have a drawer full of costume jewellery, nothing statement sparkly though iyswim.

Thank you @TY78910! I think the second with the tiara is more what she's thinking.
