Metallic Obsessed

Sunday 9 October 2016



It’s a Saturday night and instead of going out drinking, i’m in bed with a hot water bottle feeling icky and gross. I had scrambled eggs for dinner, followed by some yogurt and a bowl of cereal. I feel my diet isn’t helping, but this cold has stripped me of any ability to taste anything. Aside from everyone being sick, university is in full swing. I can’t believe how quickly the years go now, summer was literally 5 seconds ago. I swear when I was 16, the days felt like they would never end and now it’s all going by in the blink of an eye. 

ANYWAY, super long post. I’m probably uber late to the trend of metallics but I felt like this needed a mention on my blog. I bought some silver washi tape over summer after seeing a picture on Instagram of someone using it to tape up their work. Obviously, yes, now I tape everything with it too. The foot even came unstuck on the bottom of my Mac, so I taped it back on with my silver washi tape. Too far? Maybe.

Not only do I love the idea of using silver in any upcoming projects (actually just remembered i’m currently using a silver broad nib pen for my graffiti project) but I also love it in fashion. Not like a subtle pearlescent vibe, more like, astronaut, spaceship, ‘i’m wrapped up in tin foil’ look. I found a few pieces I’d wear myself and as it’s kind of the Christmas season (not really but basically is) I think these would be fitting for any upcoming nights out. Definitely statement pieces, and would look super cute with black high waisted leggings or trousers and black trainers. A black bomber jacket or puffer would also add a really nice touch.
