Black and Gold

Gold is back again this fall and this time it has teamed up with black to make a stunning statement in fall fashion.  According to InStyle,

"Achieving high-def depth with brocade, foil, leaf, sequins and embossed surfaces, black-and-gold alchemizes Renaissance, hippie, Asian, and modernist influences in spectacular ways."

In order to pull off this look, let gold take center stage, but maintain exclusivity with the color black as its only partner. No need to accessorize this look as the gold shines enough on its own and try to stick with just one standout piece that can take you all the way through the holidays!

Thinking about rocking this season's gold trend from head to toe? If so you need a killer pair of shoes, something different, something out of the box.  Rochas has a gorge slip-on driving loafer with a rounded toe and metallic sheen.  This shoe will set you apart from the crowd, it will also set off your budget at $450.

Of course there is always the Calabash loafer from Fossil that is both dapper and dazzling at the same time.  Same rounded toe, slip-on style, but with sparkle instead of sheen and a $98 sticker. Go for the gold in a pair that makes both you and your wallet happy!

With New Year's Eve only days away you are probably planning that perfect party outfit, including a statement shoe!  Well Jimmy Choo has quite a stunner. I think that this golden glittered platform pump will set off any ensemble.  The glittered fabric exudes glitz and glam but is subtly textured making it appropriate for day or night! The price? Only $795, perfect! Only she says...HA! I'm right there with, not looking so versatile after all.

Well if the Jimmy Choo's aren't an option and you're now determined to find a glitzy textured pump let me introduce you to a pair from Charles David.  These shoes shimmer with every stride! The bolder hue may not work as well for day, but these pumps are positively irresistible, who can say no to glitz and glam on New Year's Eve, or an additional 15% off the already reduced $97 price tag...hurry before they're gone!

Golden Eye

In case you haven't noticed gold is lighting up the red-carpet this season.  Even if you don't have a red carpet event, this precious metal is something your wardrobe shouldn't be without!

From head to toe gold accents and accessories are on trend this season.  Add a touch with a bangle or a great pump like our Charles, by Charles David glitzy platform or go glam with a top, skirt, or all over gold ensemble.  Whatever your fancy you will surely shine like a star!

Shine On!

Every now and then I think it is necessary to break out some shimmer. Who doesn't want to stand out and shine like a star? Of course in order to pull off glitz and glamour please make sure to do it in moderation, we may channel some rocker glam from time to time, but we are not channeling the disco ball!

Working metallics, specifically golds, into your wardrobe is as easy as accessorizing with a piece of jewelry and can be as daring as wearing it from head-to-toe. Even head-to-toe gold can be classy given the right fabric and occasion, think brocade prints and textured fabric! Pretty with pink, bold with black, cool with camel, gold is the perfect metallic neutral to add to all of this fall's fab colors.  Whether you add a little or a lot it's easy to follow this golden rule.
