Heavy Metal


Chanel

Metallics and metals have staying power.  Nothing immediately ups the glam factor like a shot of gold or silver or both!  Rose is coming on strong, and don't forget bronze, with copper not far behind.  It's not for the rustic look alone.  These metals feel fresh, especially mixed with their glitzier counterparts.

Studs, jewels, metallic thread, and paillettes all hold their own among larger, eye catching pieces.  Mirrored furniture feels much the same way and earns its weight in gold in a room.  These things all add a layer of richness, whether in home or fashion.

Be bold or be conservative; just be balanced with your chosen metal mixture.  With the right balance it tends to be elegant and eclectic (two of my favorite words).

Go for the Gold




Use it sparingly or drip in it ~ there's no denying the allure of this precious metal.  Metallics will always remain a mainstay in fashion and interiors, but gold has hit a high note (and not just the price).  With the economy still in a recession I think people are trying to be optimistic.  Nothing says confidence and optimism like the color gold.  It's also the color of the sun, so of course, being a Leo, a sun sign, I love it!!
