    I think this Holiday will be all about gold. Imagine brown paper with a gold ribbon…or red lawyer’s tape on gold paper….hmmm. I can imagine all the pretty gold that will be shown.
    Great images!

    We can’t wait to see this year’s holiday trends and all of the gold that is sure to be included. It’s so funny that for a long time we put most of our gold pieces in the back of our jewelry drawer. We have started pulling those back out and are enjoying just a splash of gold here and there. Lots of great pieces here.

    Love it – I remember thinking how outrageous it was when gold was $600/ounce!! Love all your picks. I’d forgotten about Jamali Garden – what a great resource! I’ve seen the DKNY perfume – wild!! Stay safe this weekend!!

    I don’t know how much it costs, I only know I want it! Those stilettos are to die for! And the earrings and the hairpin, and the rest…….just delicious! I’m usually a silver girl, but I’m going to have to rethink that for the coming summer. I can see myself draped in these beauties and feeling fabulous!
