Gold Rush

Gold Rush by Alexandra Phanor-Faury If there’s one fashion rule to stick to when getting ready this holiday season, let it be the inspiring fool-proof gold-en rule. Whether it’s a splash of glistening accessories or a full-on gold ensemble, this hue packs a mean atmospheric punch. Our favorite festive embellishment has been seen on the backs of many style mavens walking the red-carpet. We must warn you that this trend is super addictive! One look at the many ways these fashionista’s interpret this gold trend and we’re confident your Midas touch will last through this celebratory time of the year.
