I have a penchant for neutrals but have been known to get distracted by shiny objects on occasion. I do treat metallics as part of my ‘neutral’ palette because to me they are just shinier versions of their flat color cousins. I have never been one for glitter though but something has snapped in me and made me want to glitz it up this season. I saw this ribbon which is not really glitter but a weave that mimics glitter, as I am already beyond obsessed with ribbon and now have a soft spot for the shiny stuff I had to order myself some. I don’t consider myself much of a collector, I like things in my life that have purpose it feels more justified when I buy something that I want and don’t need if I can actually use it–like shoes, handbags or say ribbon. There’s a slew of things you could make with this sparkly ribbon: a necklace, belt, headband, brooch, ornament, etc. that I feel like my purchase was more than worth it.
That package sure does look familiar! :)
um whoa! ordering myself a buttload of this stuff now.
That might just be the most perfect bow I have ever seen ~ sparkling wonder!
This is so lovely. The perfect amount of bling to jazz up gifts.
Not sure if you have plans on New Years Day, but at 3pm I am hosting a SoCal Bloggers Meetup. If you’re free and interested, email me at spotty_zebra@hotmail.com and I can give you more deets. I’d love to see you there!
Hmmm? Miss J. I wonder why it looks familiar? I am happy to hear that your mailperson hasn’t absconded with another delivery, lol. Kayla, you are going to be so happy with your purchase, I promise. Mel, thank you, it was a hot glue gun ditty, I was going to do a tutorial and then it became a craft that went awry, sigh. Dionne, if we are around I would LOVE to come meet you and give you a giant bear hug.
xx,
Miss B.
