Bold Gold

The upcoming season is going gold! Let your other metallics take the backseat and step into something that is going up in value. Gold will play leading and a supporting roles as it makes an appearance in both details and as the main event. Shoes, belts, bags, clothes, jewelry, and even home decor will pop in flattering hues of gold. 


Start by investing in great everyday gold pieces you can wear all year long and with virtually anything. Stella & Dot's La Coco Brooch Necklace comes with a removeable brooch and bracelet so you can wear it long or short or layered with other pieces. The Mira Bangles come in a set of three and are lightweight and great for stacking. Not to mention one of the bangles in the set includes touches of reconstituted turquoise which is the color of the season!

Bebe's Meg Metallic Platform Sandal is primed in a subtle metallic gold that has a modest springtime shimmer. The platform sole and caged straps make this shoe feminine with a sexy edge.

Hype's champagne-gold Mia foldover clutch is a sueded material with a crocodile embossed design (also hot this season!). This clutch is a great piece to finish up your final touches. Open it up and be surprised by a fresh pop of spicy orange colored lining. Shop this clutch at BlueFly for discounted prices.


Spring break will be here before you know it and Victoria's Secret's Golden Twist Bandeau swimsuit is sexy and on the bold gold trend!



Give a small room in your house a seasonal revamp just by adding a touch of fresh, trendy accessories. Anthropologie has organic bathroom pieces in hues of gold you can pair together for a quick lift. Most pieces are versatile, like the canister above, and can be used for a low impact kitchen makeover the following season.
