Runway to Realway: Rose Gold Metallics

 

Although this trend has been brewing for a while, the Spring/Summer 2014 runways were a full blown explosion of Rose Gold Metallic details. This gorgeous sister of Yellow Gold was sprinkled and sparkling on everything from structured minis to sheer trousers. The shiny hue is a bit softer and slightly more feminine than a harder gold making it's rise to popularity quick and fast. Even the makeup artists and hairstylists at Jason Wu were hopping on board. How fabulous is that pink gold cuff on her sleek ponytail?

 

I've been wearing this trend for a while (ummm yeah I'm kind of obsessed) but be prepared to see it in every store, on everything and everywhere over the next couple of months. And if you don't want to wait until Spring, here are some of my favorite items and fabulous budget finds to get you started on your new love for rose gold now:

 

J. Crew Pink Metallic Mirrored Pumps // Nordstrom BP "Flash" Mirrored Aviators in Pink // Ginger + Liz Investment Piece Rose Gold Glitter Nail Polish // Mural Rose Gold Sequin Shrug (one size fit & on sale!!) // Michael Kors Rose Gold "Camille" Watch // Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Mini Affair Mini Bag // Jennifer Zeuner L.O.V.E.

There's no need to re-tune your computer screen. Yes, it's true. This self professed neon & color lover has a new obsession. Black and White! Seen on Spring 2013 runways everywhere, this combo is a must have . Whether it was the simple cinch of a black belt on a white dress or the touch of delicate lace on a pair of pants, this always chic combo is a definite do.
