Hi! It's me!
I wanted to tell you about my favorite fashion accessory right now: Gold!
Not real gold, silly. Faux is just fine, and affordable too. Faux is still just as pretty to me.
Here are some of my current faves:
Gold Lace Pocket Watch Pendant (Spool No. 72) $22
Fan Disc Earrings (Forever 21) $1.50
Athena Bracelet (Etsy Seller Cosette) $20
Well, that's what's making me smile right now. Do you have accessory phases too?

I have loved wearing faux gold this winter, too. I've mixed it with really pretty jewel tones and have really enjoyed the warm color combination.

I love gold too!! When we did our family pictures this year our colors were, ivory, black, and gold.
I am allergic to most metals so I can't wear much jewelry. Anything plastic will work. lol! It is very sad that I can't even wear my wedding ring! I've tried just about everything.

These are cute! I am going to purchase the bracelet from Cosette 20.
I will not support Forever 21 Ever, Ever, Ever.
Who is the vendor for the bracelet which you are wearing in your photo.
Thank you, Q

Whenever I've lost a few pounds, which is sadly not at this moment, I love to accessorize - I guess that I just feel better about showing myself off a bit!

Hmmm. I'm more of a WHITE Gold, person. I could deal with Platinum, in a pinch ;)

I love vintage crystal brooches, necklaces and rings. I call myself an old crow 'cause I love sparkly things. It's pretty recycling too!

I still love wrap bracelets - and I bought cutest wrap watch on Etsy.
Love long necklaces - got a really nice one from Anthro for Christmas.

I so do that too! One year I had a major thing for scarves (I think I bought about 50 total). Most recently it has been high-heeled shoes which I haven't bought any of bc I'm out of work and broke, sadness! :'( New pretties for my apt has been my latest obsession, as of the last 2 or 3 days. :) A girl can dream, right?

Love that bracelet, gold will never fade.

I painted my nails a pretty gold this weekend. Teamed with some faux gold hoops.. it looks very smart with winter white! This is a very big change for me, I am a silver and turquoise kind of chick.

@katelyn: have you tried taking your wedding ring to a jewelry store and having them paint the inside with a special material that keeps your finger from breaking out? I am sorry I don't recall the name of the stuff. I only have problems with yellow gold and that fixed the problem.
