So Much Glitter

In the process of cruising Etsy for some craft ideas, I came across these awesome items from Judy’s Mosaic Supplies. I’ve always wanted to create mosaics, and these shiny (and cheap!) materials are especially tempting.  From left to right: Goldwater Silvercoat Stained Glass Tiles, Silver Metallic Coarse Sand Glitter, and Glass Gems in Electric Black
How can you not love something that shimmers in the light? I have quite an affinity for sparkling items, but rarely take the opportunity to work them into my wardrobe. Glittery clothing and accessories can be borderline over-the-top, but certain pieces in neutral metallic colors can make quite a statement when paired with more modest basics. I’d be proud to rock any of these beauties below..

I’m A Fool For Gold


I’m like a raccoon, I like shiny things. No, wait, I covet shiny things.

Case in point: I found this old Wonder Woman photo and I could NOT stop looking at her accessories (I might also have Halloween costumes on the mind!). Look at that eagle on her chest! Very glamorous and badass at the same time.

They say when you wear metallics, you ought to offset them with neutral colors so you don’t look like you’re headed to Studio 54, when you’re actually headed to your office. Since my gold itch is hampered by such stringent regulations, I went ALL OUT with this inspiration board!
