Latest & Greatest #7: Black and Gold

latest and greatest


Black and gold is a combination I’m constantly drawn to these days but that wasn’t always the case. Up until a year ago, if I had to make a decision between silver and gold accents, I always chose silver. Gold seemed garish, loud and flamboyant in all the wrong ways. Icy, silvery shades were my go-to accents because they felt cleaner and much more subdued. Then, I started noticing gold popping up in less traditional formats including spiked accents on shoes, as gold leaf on posters and in modern jewelry pieces. Here are a few black and gold items that have recently caught my eye.

    It’s funny you write about this now- after ordering my third pair of gold sneakers, I realized I’ve been doing the same. Also, gold leaf paint is AMAZING for the small details in print projects.

    Gold and I have had a similar relationship. I wonder if it’s one of those things you start to appreciate as you mature? Growing up, I was all about silver, but the gold love affair is going strong now. Or better yet – all metals all the time! Metallic dance party, yo!

    I totally feel ya! I haaaated gold just last year. I may not be 100% on the shiny gold band wagon yet but I do like the rustic aged gold, almost bronze look. Especially in jewelry. Thanks for sharing these! I love black paired with gold, didn’t realize how much until now though.
