fool's gold

You might not know this about me BUT,  I am a bit addicted to gold lately. I just can't get enough. Even sequins are starting to catch my fancy, when they used to quite literally scare me. I wonder what else I could be inspired by that I used to see in a total different light. The options are endless, embrace the gold and get inspired friends!

DIY {metallic makeup pouch}

Lately, I've been referred to as 'Mr. T' and/or 'Goldfinger' because of my recent obsession with all things gold. I don't know if it's the shiny factor or the idea that when wearing a lot of gold, you could be considered unstoppable, right? Nonetheless, I can't get enough. So naturally there was no way I was going to pass up these metallic makeup pouches at the craft store the other day. I gladly scooped up a few of each color (black, bronze and gold) and went home with endless ideas of patterns that I wanted to decorate them with. Here are a few that I painted up yesterday, despite my high from the insane paint fumes. 

 

DIY {gold striped candle}

As you may have noticed lately, I am on a major gold kick. The shiny color has become something that I almost always gravitate towards and it's starting to pop up all over my house and wardrobe on a regular basis (and I love it!). I came across this fabulous idea from my favorite idea site and couldn't wait to try it this week. I definitely need to head back over to the store and get a few more of these because I feel like they look better in clusters. But for $1.00-$1.50 you can't beat a fun shiny candle.

Is it true that all that glitters is gold? I think so! One of my favorite things at the moment and well for quite awhile is gold accessories. Recently I have been inspired by so many gold things that I can't get enough! (I even have a great gold DIY comin' at ya tomorrow!) So I wanted to share a few more glittery treasures to brighten up your Wednesday!

p.s. that nail polish has 24 carrot dust in it! YES!

DIY {woven chain bracelet}

I stumbled upon this great tutorial earlier in the week and fell in love. While I'm surrounded by children daily, I still frequently make friendship bracelets with yep, you guessed it, good old embroidery thread. And honestly, I found this idea really appreciable, more-so because it's basically an adult friendship bracelet, and I can't wait to make my own.

Now to just find a gold bracelet...
