Tuesday Trend: Black & Gold

12/18/12 | Balenciaga, BCBG, Chanel, Kate Spade, Marchesa, Top Shop, Tuesday Trend, Vince Camuto

Black is sleek and slimming while the gold is fun and flattering.  Black should be the basic and then gold in any capacity – I love sequins, foil, lace, embossing, and most especially sparkles! To wear this color combination/trend I pulled inspiration from my favorite runway looks; Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli, Prabal Gurung, and Dolce & Gabbana:

In the spirit of the holidays here are naughty and nice options for this amazing color combination:


Bra / BCBG Bracelet  / Alexander McQueen Clutch / Balenciaga Bracelet
House of Harlow Earrings  / Kate Spade Boots / Top Shop Bustier / Top Shop Jacket


Edie Parker Clutch / Kate Spade Earrings / Givenchy Scarf 
 Chanel Bag / Vince Camuto Pumps  / Notte by Marchesa Dress
Do you prefer the naughty or the nice options?  How do you wear black and gold? 
PS.  Yesterday I reached 500 Followers and am giving away gorgeous Kate Spade earrings, enter here!
