Colour Inspiration: Huichol Art from Mexico
This week, our colour inspiration is taking us to Mexico. Mexico is home to the Huichol or the Wixitari people who live predominantly in the states of Zacatecas, Nyarit and Jalisco.
Riot Girl of the Week: Kimberly Mccollin

Who are you in two sentences or less? What makes you, “you”?
Ha! This question is weird! But I
always ask people what they like the most about me and they always
say my funny, good natured personality. And that’s true. I bring
humor to almost everything- it makes things lighter because it’s
never that serious. But I’m no clown. Lol.
Describe your personal style?
I don‘t think I have a personal
style. I just like what I like in any given moment and this can be
influenced by current trends or not. It can also be influenced by who
I think is hot at the time! Like right now im really feeling Kim K’s
classy, sleek look and well I’ve always loved Rihanna’s risky,
but sexy, confident style.
But generally, I love colour and print;
bright colours to be exact. My base colour is gold as I usually style
my outfit around it. Don’t really like silver too much. Gold to me
is glam. I hate blue though, I don’t wear it and I don’t know
why.
With regard to accessories, I love big.
I prefer big earrings to a big chain any day.
What's the thing that you're most
passionate about right now?
Politics. I just have this burning
feeling in my chest to contribute and make this place that I love so
much better for everyone. It hurts me to see us degenerate in this
way as a people. I really think that we deserve better and we are
better than that.
What's your mantra for life? What
words do you live by?
You have to do what you HAVE to do. I
do things that I don’t always like doing, like saving lol, but I
HAVE to do it so I make sure and do it.
Be happy. There are people who have
less than I have and are happy anyway. That really gets me going
This may sound cliché but I also
really like YOLO. This is what guides me when I doubt myself on
things I want to do; like travelling, trying new food and taking
risks.
Why do you love Colour Riot Jewelry?
I love the colour and the print! Those
two things are what catch my eye when I look for clothing and
accessories. Colour Riot is awesome because it combines the two. I
also like that’s it not uniform in any way. The bangles vary in
size, texture and print and I think that makes them exciting.
Anything else you'd like to add?
Keep making more stuff girl! Colour
Riot rocks!
