How apropos.  The Olympics are a rare and special occasion when the world joins together as one to cheer for their respective teams but also to root for the underdog and those exemplary acts of humility and kindness that so oft take place during the two weeks’ events.   Though most of us on this side of the Atlantic are forced to watch the time-delayed races on primetime (after I glanced at my phone and saw the breaking news that Lochte won gold and Phelps came in fourth…I mean COME ON people, can’t you at least pre-empt with a “Spoiler-Alert” or something?? I just pretended that I didn’t see it and cheered all the same.)  Anywho, I digress.  All I’m trying to say is that just because you’re not in on the action live in London, doesn’t mean that you can’t  actively participate by sporting your fave metallics (and by fave I’m obvi only referring to gold, silver, and bronze) for the remainder of the Games.  Metallics are cool and sensual and always fun to rock with a smoky eye.  So no matter which country you’re rooting for, pay homage to the Olympics which brings humanity together for a short time every two years by wearing your medals (err… metals) proudly.  Oh and btw, I’m choosing to only don gold because well, duh… I’m a champ!

Check out my gold sparklies in Steeler Nation.

 Speaking of apropos… did anyone notice that none-other-than Katniss is wearing gold too??? Hunger Games ♥
