Hope you guys had a lovely weekend! Thank you so much for giving me tips on how to make great excuses when a creepy guy approaches me. They were really helpful!
How do you guys feel about metallics? I personally love to wear them with nude colors and I don’t think they should be worn only at night. Here are some of my favorites! 
I love that Anna Dello Russo is never afraid to wear whatever she wants. I really admire her for that. She’s who I aspired to be when I grow up!

I would love to wear that whole attire to work! It’s the next greatest thing to leather and can be great as a substitute as well!

I love ADR’s looks too! That dress looks divine – if only I had enough courage to pull off a dress like that in broad daylight! Love those metallic harem pants from net-a-porter (minus the price :S) and that ASOS pink bag! I agree, metallics look amazing with nude/neutral clothing 🙂

These metallic looks are pretty popping! I don’t usually wear metallics, and if so usually at night, but it would be fun to try during the day. I love the Rodarte look and the metallic pants!
i love sequins! so bling bling! 🙂
first : Anna Dello Russo’s dress <3<3
Second: the first metallic trousers!!!!
Love the trousers! 🙂 Check out my new post with Erdem collection as well as previous posts on meeting with Dsquared and Roberto Cavalli.

I love the dress on Anna Dello Russo. It’s something that looks as if it should only be worn on a 20 year old but she completely pulls it off. It is a stunning dress
i definitely have a crush on the metallic trend !
it really does LOOK GOODDD !! <3

I’m in the mood for sparkle and I’ll take the Vionnet silk blend pants. There
goes the budget.
Love it! I’ve never worn metallics actually, I really should give it a try 😉
CLASSY & FABULOUS
Have an awesome week, girl!
Oh man! I love metallics. Went through a metallic phase in high school! Now I just love to look at it! Hehe.

Have always loved a dash of metallics. I have often included them to spice up outits, and find them extremely versatile. Thanks for sharing. I love Anna’s style, and the bravado with which is creates her own fashion space. Have a good week ahead, my friend.
with metallic you have to be carefull ’cause it’s really easy to overdo it, but these outfits are absolutely gorgeous ! I’m totally in love with the nightblue sparkly harem pants, soooo pretty <3
I love metallics and these are some awesome outfits babe 🙂 Hope you had a lovely wknd! Mwah xxx

Metallics are great, though I prefer little doses of it -like a dress, a pair of shorts, a bag or shoes. I would never want to be covered in head to toe with it. =)

metallic clothes can be so great if accessorized properly. i love the outfit you created, it balances the craziness of the pants perfectly with the black hues.

I think wearing metallics with neutrals will do the trick. I’m not a big fan, but it all depends on everyone’s personal style. If you can pull it off, why not? Have a great week, Shin! xoxo
WOw that sparkly dress is so nice!!!!
I am loving those Kate Spade pumps. Gorgeous!
i love metallics, especially little silver metallic ballet flats–my fave!!
I have always been a METALLIC-lovey-dovey 🙂
AND I wear it during daytime!
love the idea of adding shine to an every day outfit! great picks!

I absolutely LOVE metallics. I just picked up this really cute sweater from Express and the entire front is covered with silver sparkling metallics.
Anna Dello Russo is one of the chicest women I know. Love that top photo of her.
Hope you are having a great summer!

LOVING this look — daring yet so chic! I’ve been searching for a great metallic piece..found a structured dress by Twenty Cluny on http://www.couturecandy.com that i’m dying to have…more than I would usually spend but it seems like the metallic trend is here to stay….might have to give in!!
Love that metallic blue pants!! they’re amazing! I’ve recenlty bought a blouse in black&silver really nice 🙂

I just love metallics, and I love these outfit ideas! Your blog is great. We’re loving it!
i truly adore the look you put together – simple and yet so full of amazing details!

great post hun! love the metallic match with white shirt-great corky , office outfit -i can see everyone’s faces in my office:) i shoul try it! hope you had a great weekend! xoxox
Love these metallics. I’m particularly enjoying the ones that are not overly sparkly and have a dull sheen – it’s a very unusual and wearable look!
Yes, definitely, metallics are meant to be worn with some understated colours 🙂
great trend you’ve got here today – one has to be careful how they execute this trend and not look ridiculous.
I’m always shy about wearing metallics (I think they’re a bit too flashy for me) but you did a great job with this post to convince me otherwise 🙂 I love how wearable they seem judging by those 3 lovely outfits and I really like the outfit you put together, but I think I’ll start with some accessories – those gold bronze studded ballerina flats look very tempting.
You are right. Metallics are not only for de day style, however people think that a metallic outfit is too flamboyant. I believe that it needs to be used as protagonist and combined with soft colours. By the way, thanks for visiting my blog. xoxo
Love this trend! Looks so fabulous! Great post and of course gorgeous pics! 🙂

I adore that photo of Anna Dello Russo & I couldn’t agree more she is fearless when it comes to fashion!
Love the flats in your pick, accessories are the definitely the best way to introduce metallics to your wardrobe x
gorgeous picks as always! metallic accents are such a fun way to spice up an outfit…
I adore the first picture!
Thanks for your comment.

i love that dress anna is wearing… i tried on a similar one at zara when i was in nyc this weekend… it was so cute but didn’t fit right… i’m sure i’ll find some pretty sequins to find in the near future though. my closet is full of pretty sparkles for every occasion, i’m so glad sequins are in style no matter the time of day or season!! i love those blue glittery pants! <3shelby
