Lovisa VS Mr Price - The Battle of the Accessories, What I get Where and Why

I'm a fashionista, and like all fashionistas I LOVE ACCESSORIES.

I have a collection that warms my heart, no I'm not a hoarder (do hoarders ever admit to being hoarders). There are so many amazing stores that stock beautiful accessories, my penchant is jewellery but not anything that's worn on the wrist (a story for another day). I do however find myself always gravitating towards the same two stores MR Price and Lovisa when it comes to buying my costume jewellery.

There is good reason for this though, these stores have a huge variety or classic, statement, niche or trendy pieces. They're always updating their inventory so there's usually something shiny and new to pick up.

They are worlds apart when it comes to pricing, I mean you can find affordable items at Lovisa but that's mostly if they are having a sale. Mr Price on the other hand ALWAYS stocks affordable items.

When I'm looking for new trendy seasonal pieces that won't break the bank, I go to Mr Price. Sometimes I just want to try a look out or I don't see myself wearing this item in the next season and I don't want to spend too much on it. I also find that they have the cutest floral earrings and I love floral so no surprises here.

Mr Price

I go to Lovisa for everyday earrings that would work with many outfits usually from their 5 for R100 range. I've used these earrings below over the past 2 years and they still look great.

I also like getting gold and silver items here as I find they don't change colour like the ones from Mr Price sometimes do. They can cost a little more but I usually buy on sale. Lovisa stocks more dressed up Jewellery which is perfect for events. They stock cute head ware too and you can really get a customised look to match your outfit.
I've also received gifts from Lovisa and I noticed it's quite a popular spot for gift shopping. I guess the fact that it does come with cute a little gift bag is an awesome bonus.
