Go for the Gold

Rose gold, that is. Take notes ladies and gentlemen, because rose gold is officially the new metal for Spring 2011. And there is an endless number of ways you can try out the trend this spring. As an accessories junkie, this will not be a challenge for moi, and almost every accessory imaginable can be done in a rose gold tone. Yay

Try a pair of rose-gold rimmed sunglasses (these are Gucci) and for us college students collecting Michael Kors watches, if you don't have one already get the rose gold plated watch. And it's not just sunglasses and watches but we will begin to see bangles, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and all of the above in every retail store.

Then, my friends...there are the shoes. Michael by Michael Kors makes amazing rose gold strapped wedge sandals, and I know there are going to be many more where they came from. For the less vertically challenged, a flat sandal for warm weather or ballet flat in a rose gold tone will work. Tory Burch does her classic ballet flat in rose gold but the flats pictured below are by Kate Spade.

So get out there, fellow shopaholics, and stock up on rose gold in your favorite accessory before everything is swept off the shelves and you're left behind on a huge spring trend! That would be a tragedy, wouldn't it?
