Liz & Kristin: Paint it GOLD!


Hey, it's Liz from It's Unbeweavable! Honored to be joining my girl Kristin on The Beauty File. I wasn't a fan of gold until recently, but now I love it and am having fun incorporating it into my wardrobe. Kristin brought the reality, and I present you with-Gold Stuff I love but I better save my pennies. Some are casual, some dressy...all add that little something. Silver, today is not your day.

Bonjour lovelies! Kristin from BonBon Rose Girls here. How lucky am I to be guest posting on this beautiful blog? I am most addicted to The Beauty File and I'm not ashamed to admit it. What a killer way to kick off the new decade! It's a big, bright and shiny new year people! I don't know about you, but I am UBER psyched about it. It's time to leave any unpleasantness from the previous year in the dust and forge ahead to grab the fabulosity that 2010 is sure to offer us!

For me, said fabulosity is perfectly represented by the color gold. It's chic, yet fun. Cheerful, yet glamorous. It's the perfect color to inspire you to take the new year by the horns and make it yours! I'm going to leave it to my girl Liz to regale you with dreams of luxury accessories, while I give you a dose of reality! We all need both dreams AND reality in our lives right?

I was just thinking this morning as I lay in bed that it's only in the last few years that I've embraced gold. Before it was silver/white gold/platinum everything, now I love it.

Fabulous post, ladies!

And my BF...you changed your profile pic - where's my glowing lovely???
And I've yet to try fish tacos, I must, must, must. And pancakes with coconut syrup!!! What??? I love it. Enjoy the rest of your vacay, love!

I love metallics as neutrals. Gold is tough because it can easily look cheap - but as usual, Kristin found great wallet-friendly options that look far more expensive than they actually are.

I used to think that gold looked awfully garish. But recently I'm drawn to the warmth of gold. I don't think silver is as flattering on many skin tones.
