Amazing blog. I really love the images you're sharing. I was drawing from them for like an hour today.
Ciao,
joe y elio
haha love the title! This look can be so classy...I love metallics in general, but I'm really feeling gold right now! Great post, as usual :) And thank you for the amazing, kind, lovely compliments!
really nice post! love your blog!
oooh i love gold, i used to be a big fan of silver but now i much prefer gold!
Beautiful clothes! I love the Milly coat, the Millions of smiles scarf and the Jimmy Choo bag. Golden details are so nice!
Have a nice day cutie:)
I loved this post! Really great pictures...
such great options...i could definitely rock some of the later choices, especially that gold scarf!
Great idea for a post. I love gold. I always wear gold chains.
When I was younger I didn't like gold at all and now I'm addicted!!!
that´s fantastic, it´s a really glamour!
a kiss!!!
wooow this is absolutely beautiful!!!! i love gold, especially the old, dark metallic kind :D xoxo, lulu
IT'S RERFRESHING TO SEE GOLD!Nice post.
Oooh shiny! I'm such a magpie but gold kind of scares me. Saying that, Gisele looks fabulous and the close up pic of the Chanel is amazing
Cute your blog!!!
Oh yes, I really like this trend, a bit difficult to office, as people say if one's going to the night, but with a little effort we can make it ;)
Again great post.
xoxo
Everything really is golden! I am
so loving the J.Crew vest and the
Jimmy Choo sandals!
Brilliant! I love the Rue du Mail dress also as well as the millions of smiles scarves. I like how the gold element can work in a nautical/rock star/deco scheme.
I'm a fan of silver, but every now and then I wear some gold, but just a couple of details, fantastic post but it is to much bling for me haha
Gold is one of my favorite colors! I totally adore the 3.1 Phillip Lim dress!
The older I get, the more and more I like gold. Old lady style, here I come! The lace-up heels are amazing!
hihi CC, i like gold and metallic but all over is too much for me. i will do gold shoes, or handbag. RTW with gold or metallic accents are savvy but too much will make me feel like the tin man. what do you think??
Gold is so classic and timeless...love the jimmy choo gold shoes and the j crew blouse is fab.
It's a wonder Agyness Deyn is so down to earth when she gets to wear artwork like this! Love all the pictures. I am now inspired to wear something gold, so job well done. Thanks for the comment!
The details in the gold and fabric is so inspiring. I am a lover of the romantic and Victorian styles
I generally prefer cool metallics but gold can look fantastic when done right. You really have great taste, all these items are brilliant - very chic and classy! Great job CC!
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, I don't have much time for polyvore these days. I should to visit every once in a while because polyvore is wonderful creative outlet.
Take care darling and have a lovely day tomorrow :)
I love that gold-toned skirt in the photo before the shoes!
Adore this post as im such a magpie! love all things sparkly,shiny or bright.

I really love the picture of Gisele in gold with blue/turquoise sky just brilliant.
I'm loving the gold right now, wonderful post!
love your blog.
as for all this gold? drool. i am totally into shades of cream of gold for this southern summer, so these pics are amazing inspiration for me!
gorgeous stuff.
♥
Whoah--those arm-warmers are intense!
Love the Michael Kors dress, he makes such great things!
I really like the Jimmy Choo shoes and the LAMB Angel Christine tote.
Great post!
btw thanks for sharing your photo with your family!
I think gold is good at winter, silver not.
gold is either striking or tacky.
you have to know how to pull it off and not got over the top.
otherwise you just look cheap and tarty.
Ah I love glitz & gold!! & I need to be more daring to wear my headpieces out!!
*drools* I love how you started out with couture for inspiration, and then went down to pret-a-porter and finally high end brands that us fashionistas on a budget can afford.
Love them all! Esp. the Milly coat and the 3.1 Peter Lim skirt.
J. Crew makes flashy look classy!
thanks for the congrats
btw ur pics are great :)
I touch of gold always gives a little something especially if it's a shoe :)...however, it is also really easy to go overboard and look like a disco ball :P
thank you, darling ! x
ouu, lovely blog!
i ADORE all the gold pieces, everything is so lush.
