Heavy Metal
I’m not sure what’s come over me, but I’m seriously digging the gold this season. Well, all metallics actually. In addition to the bronze Manolo d’Orsays I bought earlier, not to mention the gold snakeskin Prada wedges, I’ve just picked up some gold strappy Jimmy Choos during the Saks pre-sell. Can’t wait to get them! And I’m still tempted by this pair of silver python Chloe heels.
I think it’s just something from childhood I never outgrew. Doesn’t every little girl love shiny, pretty things? And doesn’t every woman love shiny, blingy things? Diamonds, gold, metallic shoes… It’s nice that metallics are actually in fashion so it’s okay to wear something that in any other context might be deemed borderline tacky. After all, even gold lamé had its moment in the ’80s!
I do have to draw the line at buying a matching metallic bag, though this Jimmy Choo hobo is pretty cute (and looks like it could hold a lot!).

I’m loving the metallics this season too! Bags that exactly match–not my thing, but touches of gold or bronze or silver are gong to be all over my summer wardrobe. Especially in the shoe zone!
