M is for Metal

I'm still blogging the alphabet and now we're at the halfway point: M!  M is for Metal.  Metal doesn't have to be hard and masculine.  Metals can be worn and displayed in pretty, fashionable, feminine ways.

Here are some of my Etsy listings that use metal.  I'm a lover of metal, so this is only a taste...

Cerulean and Colorblocking

So here's the C entry on the Bea Otch blog...

One of my favorite words is CERULEAN and it is such a great color!

I love the scene in The Devil Wears Prada when Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) explains the fashion industry to Andy (Anne Hathaway).  Miranda says, "You're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room, from a pile of 'stuff'."

Here's the scene:

I like this color so much that I made a necklace using it.

Here's another C word - Colorblocking.

Colorblocking is not new, but it is back with a bang this season.

Here's an example of colorblocking on a necklace I made:
