Metallic Mix: Bling Bling

I don't know what's come over me, but I'm feeling the need for some fierce metallics as a final goodbye to the cold, harsh winter... So feast your eyes on these inspo lovelies!

Badass metallics



I kinda love everything about this shot, nails, clutch, bling... wish I knew the original source!

I'm sorry it's taken a while for me to get around everyones' blogs... I burnt my hand on the weekend - yes, hot pan of boiling water and a red raw right hand later... yeee-ouch! It was only a minor burn so Mr. Perseus acted quickly... I had my hand running under ice-cold water before he lathered on toothpaste - yes, that's right, toothpaste, (this only works with very minor burns though!!!) all over my entire hand.
The mintiness was incredibly cooling and much later I applied a thick layer of Aloe Vera and stuck a plastic glove on before hitting the sack... It's all looking much better now, normal actually and luckily now, no pain!

Not long til the weekend... I say bring on spring and colour!!! Wishing you a very Happy March!

I love the bathroom shot- I am in total house mode and just got a mirror like that. Mine has blue glass in it too, looks like a giant gem. Can't wait to get it on the wall!

Love all the metallics, especially that second photo with the girls all covered in bling. I don't do a lot of shiny things, but maybe I should?

Oh Im glad your burn wasn't more serious, it's good that you immediately run water on it and the toothpaste does help!

Happy March everyone!

Thanks for your comments! Yes, I do feel a bit silly having been so careless, but that's what happens when handling a hot pan with wet hands... Doh! I'm all better now!

Hope you all OD on the metallics front this weekend!

Love that corset and the wrist candy! Great picks! Sorry to hear about your hands though. I lived in Cyprus for 5 years so I may be able to relate to living somewhere outside of your familiar zone. Looking forward to your next post x

Thanks for coming by! I really liked Cyprus. I was relatively young then but I still remember a lot from my time there and have gone back a few times since. I love the Greek culture, language, sweetness and needless to say, the food! And been to greece too. Oh the beaches there! Anyways hope you have a great weekend! Don't be a stranger :) x

Gosh, if you wore that in our hood you'd get mugged, and then beat up for being flash.
