Lusting it: Gold

I can remember when I would never wear gold. Not only would I never wear gold, but actually thought it was matronly. Did any of you also go through this purely silver phase? Still in it?

At the time in my life, my sweet mother was always trying to throw some type of weird gold plated dangling this or that on my lobe, usually with a strange '80's pink rose quartz rock attached to it (no wonder I was rebelling) and I swore I'd never be caught in the supermarket, let alone the office in such an item. But today, things have shifted. At least in my choice of metals.

As the cool weather is ushered in and time change sets it, I think a little warmth is exactly what we all need. The sweet golden tones of fall are swept away and yet we all have a chance to personally carry around some sunny tones as we head into the winter months.

Chunky gold bangles or a jewel toned brooch on long golden chain paired with your fav cashmere pullover sounds like heaven me. Add a dash of the right shadow and pull your hair back...and your ready to go.

Here are some of my favorite jewelry pieces of the year, in every price range:

First up is that Roberto Coin 'I Love You More' Bracelet. I've always had a penchant for poetry rings and bracelets. They simply have such a romantic feel. Roberto Coin hits an offbeat note with this bracelet...something different than we've seen from his collections as of late...$1340.00 at Nordstrom

The Fallon 'Dynasty' Cuff with definitely add some rock n' roll to your look. The studs and the cool pounded edges are tough, but sleek. For a mid range piece, priced $235.00 at Barneys Co-op, it would defintiely be something that I would wear for years.


This Flower Cluster Ring for a ridiculously low $3.80 at Forever 21 is on final clearance and is one of my personal favorites here.


This picture doesn't do the Dana*David Diamond 'Graffiti Scribble Pendant' justice. With it's matte texture on a black cord, it is a little bit edge and a lot of luxe. Designer Dana Melnick knows exactly what a girl wants. Check out my recent Bought It: Dana*David memo for other great pieces by Melnick
This one: $1595.00 at www.zoeybloom.net


This Alexis Bittar Anemone Flower Pin with grey faux pearls and garnets would look fantastic on a 26" long chain, for a pop of color, available at Saks Fifth Avenue for $225.00

D&G by Dolce & Gabbana Bronzed Pearl Drop Earrings on Gold linking Chain Drop pierced backing,
from eluxury.com for $150.00. These would be a nice alternative to a traditional pearl earring or to the black pearl that has been popular for quite a few years now.
