Well I guess this is it, friends... Another theme week has come and gone, but not before I show you  my favourite glittery item of them all � my Kate Spade clutch. I bought it last year (some of you might recall this ancient Wardrobe Wednesday post) and have loved it as much as I've worn it... A lot. It's just such a fun, festive piece that I can't help but come back to time and time again. Hey, once you go glitter, you never go back.

Thanks for following along with this theme week, I hope you guys enjoyed it... Happy weekending! xx

{Glitter Week} Glitter Half Moon Manicure...

No theme week is complete without a manicure, and since I've been meaning to try a glitter half moon mani after seeing one on Emily last month, I figured there was no time like the present. The verdict? It's pretty much the greatest manicure known to man. The end result is just so chic and fun, and the glitter really takes it up a notch. I think I'll have to try it again with pastel base, perhaps a nice mint... Oh the possibilities.

Happy Thursday, friends! xx

{Glitter Week} The Collar...

As promised, here's a look at how I styled yesterday's DIY glitter collar. A few of you already commented about the whole washing situation (which believe me, I already thought about), but I don't mind� I'll spot wash this bad boy if I have to! To be honest, I was planning on getting rid of this shirt anyway, but a little sprinkle of glitter has made it seem (both literally AND figuratively) all shiny and new again. Who knew a few sparkles could have that kind of effect? xx

{Glitter Week} Glitter Collar DIY...

 photo IMG_8504_zpsb417231e.jpg

So I kind of have a thing for Mod Podge (evidenced here and here), and since I barely ever wear this vintage blouse, I figured I may as well smear glitter all over the collar eliminating my ability to ever again wash it. Sound like something you might be interested in? Of course it does, because you guys are awesome.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Gather the goods: Mod Podge, glitter, a paint brush and, last but not least, an unsuspecting blouse.
2. Start by ironing a crease onto the collar so you know exactly were the glue should go (I wanted a little white to stay visible, but you can cover the entire collar if you prefer). Once that's done, start painting even coats of Mod Podge onto the collar, working in small sections.
3. Sprinkle a generous helping of glitter onto the wet glue. Repeat steps 2 & 3 until the collar is entirely covered.
4. After the glitter dries (and your glue-related headache subsides), paint a final layer of Mod Podge onto the glitter to cure it. Dry overnight (and get some fresh air� you'll need it) for best results.

Is this the easiest DIY in the world, you ask? Why yes, yes it is. Stay tuned to see how I styled this bad boy tomorrow... xx

Hello and welcome to a brand new theme week! This time, it's all about glitter... Because from clothing and accessories, to beauty and back, everything looks better with glitter, no?

I have a full week of glittery goodness planned for you guys, but let's kick things off (so to speak) with these sparkly loafers. They were a gift from my buddy Kastles last summer, and I couldn't love them more. Seriously now, they're comfy, cute and they take that whole "spring in your step" thing to a new level. What's not to love?

Thanks for reading love bugs, and be sure to check back in tomorrow for more glitter action! xx
