neon, ok i admit that i’m kind of enjoying this new trend. as i’ve mentioned several times i’m not a fashionista in any way, and most of the times you cannot find something really trendy on my closet, but something rather classic, joyful and that speaks to me. but some trends i do like because of the irreverence and for shaking things up. i think that neon might have that effect! not that i would wear a full neon sweater for example, but get me a pastel and neon striped sweater and i’m all yours! so that is why i thought of neon for today’s topic! and looking through etsy (i do love to support the small businesses!) i found a few neon favourites as well! care to take a look?
1. neon bangle bracelet with stripes 2. oh deer cotton tea towel 3. neon pink vintage sequins and pale green czech glass 4. geometric wooden bead necklace 5. mort archival print 6. neon papercut banner card 7. neon pink mixed bead necklace
those bracelets are so gorgeous, i do need to feature the whole shop on the blog, i think! and then amm shop has been of my favourites since jennifer started to play with clay (oh this just rhymed!). do you like this trend? is it something that you feel connected to?

I’ve recently started to love neon. I admit I was quite skeptic about it at first, but now I even think of using it on one of my paintings! A happy Friday to you.
twiggs says
yes, exactly like me,a bit skeptic in the beginning, but then if you mix it with other things, it looks so beautiful and irreverent!! i hope you had a great day as well!

Esta tendência começou de forma subtil no ano passado e fiquei de olho. Até comprei umas skinny jeans em coral neon.
Mas este ano está demais, e até eu que não tenho nada queda para cores ácidas estou com vontade de pintar uma unha de cada cor neon que existe :)
Adorei as escolhas!
twiggs says
exactamente, tal como eu… embora um pouco céptica no início, mas se for ao de leve gosto! e tb gosto imenso de calças como as que compraste, embora nunca tenha comprado nenhumas! um beijinho e boa semana!
