I love gold! The Vivienne Westwood is wonderful! Metallic is one of my favorite looks always, and especially for the holidays.

I love silver but I think those gold dresses are more apt for the holidays.

I love gold, but i always feel a bit too flashy if i'm wearing it in any other form than jewellery... I think it just needs some getting used to!

My favourite metallics are those that appear in Christian Lacroix's haute couture, particularly the pale blue-greens. So dreamy!
