Glamorous Gold

I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty much obsessed with gold.  I went through this phase at one point in my life where I hated gold and refused to wear it, but now I can't get enough of it.  It adds a touch of class to many outfits and I particularly like pairing it with black & white.

I hope you all have a great weekend!  I'll see you on Monday with photos from my trip to Abu Dhabi + Dubai! :)

Gold top: F21

Jewelry: Bracelets- vintage & F21; Earrings- Chanel (vintage); Brooch- Chanel

  4. love this look! i had a major gold phase a couple of years ago and i've been in a pretty solid silver phase of late but this is making a pretty stunning case for a return to gold!

  9. I LOVE that outfit (especially the shoes :D).
    I used to be like that with gold too...went through a phase that I would never, ever, not even then wear anything gold and now it seems all I buy has some gold in it or on it. Fickle women we are. ;)

  16. I absolutely love gold too!! I can't get enough of it, especially when it comes to accessories.. In fact, I recently decided to put a ban on buying any gold accessories - need to change things up! Hopefully I'll start looking into other options :)

    Great blog!

  44. 1) Sorry I have been away from your blog so long.
    2) This is Classy, with a capital C! Are the pants leather/pleather? In any case, it goes really well together with the gold and the tweek. Miss A, great look!

  59. Gold was always one of my favorite colors and then when I bought my first Spice Girls doll (Posh, of course! I know she's your favorite too!), in the back of the box, it said her favorite color is gold, too. Ha, just a little random fact for you. As always, you look classy and I really would love to steal those shoes from you, except that I probably couldn't walk longer than 5 minutes in them. They're fabulous, though! :)
