Bling Slippers

by vianne on July 1, 2011

Bling slippers.  The most memorable , to me, are Dorothy’s from The Wizard of Oz.   That movie is one that the baby boomers remember.  It was shown once a year on broadcast television.  These shoes are now in the Smithsonian.  I have worn bling slippers.  My favorite personal blinged out shoes were some metallic gold Converse high tops.   I  would wear those with shirts or tank tops and fashion jeans embellished with custom embroidery, and some rhinestones attached.  But while I loved my shoes, I will never forget seeing Dorothy in hers with her blue and white gingham  I think that’s  a fashion influence  that’s here to stay, mixing the glittery with casual wear.  That’s  something that can really make an outfit.  I get fulfillment from mixing things up that way.

Phone Bling

Bling in a phone

Phone  bling.  There are lots of sparkly, elaborate fashion cases for cell phones.  Dripping with rhinestones and crystals.  But non cell phones can also have a bit of the bling.  I  believe that if you have a landline phone, you should have one that’s corded. In case the electricity goes off.  This is something that  certainly should be  embellished if you like.  You can have a metalic Princess phone, like the picture, or something more elaborate.  I used to do a lot of bead work, and had  boxes of sparkly stuff.  I’m sure I glued some of it to customize a phone or two.   Have your version of beauty around you.

Desert Bling

Desert Bling.  I love  desert landscapes.  Some of my favorite plants are succulents.  There is a glittery beauty to the desert that has always appealed to me.   One plus to the desert in the summer is that you know it’s going to be broiling hot, and can adjust your fashion accordingly.  In the west, it has [...]

Holiday bling

June 14, 2011

Holiday bling.  I like shiny things.  Things that  sparkle.  They don’t have to be dripping with rhinestones or crystals.  Or elaborate, embellished pieces.    Those are fun.  But sometimes just a little glitter will do.   I also like whimsy.  Especially in holiday decorations.  And decorative hats. I have two holiday decorations  that I especially like.  One is [...]

Bling Strings

June 10, 2011

Bling strings.  I was thinking about calling this “Bling went the strings of my heart”.  But that’s not what I meant.  Bling makes me happy.  But it doesn’t cause my heart to beat fast.  Well, maybe a little faster.  I do  love strings of bling.  Or just bits of bling.  Or one big honking paperweight [...]
