Enamel Pin Badges - Where Do You Pin Yours?

I've been looking for different ways to wear my (now quite large!) enamel pin collection and here are a few of my favourites! 

I love collar pins and putting some of my Feminist Killjoy Pins onto my denim jacket seemed like a good idea! I like to wear non-matching pins that are similar in style. 

I think my Strawberry Milkshake Pin looks pretty cool on my holographic shoes (from Golden Ponies), but the backings can be annoying depending on where you put them on your shoes and how tight you tie them!

I have my CMYK Pin and Virtual Pet Pin on my leather jacket which I wear almost every day. They fit perfectly just above the breast pocket.

I love this jacket from Tara Starlet and the fluffy lapel is a great place for my Mix Tape Club Pin!

Bright Paper Packages

I was stoked to be part of last month's Bright Paper Packages box! Our CMYK Pin was featured with other carefully chosen, hand made surprises.

Everything is so beautifully wrapped! If you're looking for a subscription box with pretty, hand made gifts you should definitely try it out.

The other lovely things are from some excellent shops: chocolate from Doisy & Dam, a pink leather pencil case with pencils from Ark Cambridge and a hand cut desk calendar from Not Only Polka Dots. So cool!

Free Emergency Tea and Stickers

You can receive a FREE Emergency Tea Bag from The Tea Shed and cute Valentines red heart stickers with orders at the moment - just let me know you'd like one when you place your order in my online shop or Etsy store. Happy January! 

Feminist Pin Badges

Have you seen our new Feminist Pin Badges? They came our really nicely and I'm really enjoying seeing some totally badass feminists wearing them! The one above "I'm not sorry about your fragile masculinity" is probably my current favourite (although I keep changing my mind!): I love the message and the rainbow coloured hard enamel. So pretty!

How many Boss Ladies are there in your life? Probably more than you think! Remember to include yourself. ;)

Sick of people telling you what to wear and giving you their unwanted opinion? This pin badge is for you. Wear whatever the hell you want and totally smash it.
