Midweek Moodboard: Mad for metallics

Yes, we’re still talking about the Met Gala that happened over a week ago… but if you caught even the shortest glimpse of the red carpet, we think you’ll understand why. You can’t really blame us!

Last Wednesday we went on a turquoise-loving frenzy, but this week we’re glitz-ing it up and reaffirming our love for all things metallic!

Jessica Alba was one of our ultimate best dressed celebs that night, and her gorgeous Michael Kors metallic dress had a lot to do with it. (Her impeccable side-swept hair and flawless make-up also helped!)

So, in honour of Jessica and some of the other metallic-clad celebs (Kate Upton, Carey Mulligan and Lana Del Rey being just a few of them) we’ve decided to embrace all things shiny and metallic this Wednesday. We know nothing will come close to a custom-made Michael Kors dress at one of the most prestigious events of the year, but we sure can give it a good go…
