i am loving how the last 10 years of silveris now trending toward gold. it started on the runway and now it's in everything fromfingernail polish to home dã©cor. but you don't have to spend a pot of gold to get thisgilded trend. it's super easy to diy. take a plain black tote bag, add some gold tape.now, it's a date night worthy tote-- simple and gorgeous. wrap gold cord or ribbon aroundthe basic pillow for an instant update. i love the designer look of a black lampshadewith a gold interior, but you can make it yourself so easily. just buy a black lampshadeand a gold leaf kit. there you go. for just a few bucks, you can take your next dinnerparty up a notch. go to the thrift store, buy some plain white mismatched china. fromthe hobby store, get a few gold paint pens
and have a field day. just make some basicdesigns on the white china and there you go- gilded and fabulous. or, use gold acrylicpaint to add shine to stemware. while you're at the thrift store, grab a wooden candlestick and a serving dish. when you get home, spray paint that candle stick gold, glue itto the bottom of the serving dish and there you go, cake stand. you don't need a lot ofshine to earn a gold star in the style department. just use some left over scraps of ribbon aroundthe edge of a lampshade. there you go-- subtle fashion. when it comes to gold plated fashion,whether it's on you or in your home, the key is to not overdo it. a little bling goes along way.
