So much to say, so little time....last night I had a meeting, tonight I have a dinner to attend, tomorrow night I have a margarita date with a couple of my favorite girls, and Saturday I have two gatherings in which to make an appearance. I feel like I have very little time left for myself every week!Things not getting done right now due to my calendar: my toes need a new pedicure, I still haven't reorganized my closet, still haven't hung art on the walls, and I haven't done any other art or DIY projects I had planned, either.
Let's talk about gold. It seems to have come back into fashion in the past few years. Yellow gold jewelry is making a resurgence, which I trace to Sex and the City character Carrie Bradshaw's gold "Carrie" necklace. Maybe that wasn't the item that started it, but that was the first time I personally started seeing yellow gold come back into vogue. Now it's everywhere in fashion, from sparkly gold metallics to deep bronzes. It's huge in shoes - J.Crew and Blue Tux Shoes have been doing gold shoes for a few years now. I was surprised this past weekend, however, to hear some people talking about yellow gold in much the way we talked about it in the late '90s - as some sort of 1980s nightmare that our one uncool aunt is always wearing. Me, in my little bubble, was not aware that people still felt that gold was in the same league with Hammer pants. I thought it was hip and classic, as long as you don't do it in a Miami Vice sort of way. So how do you feel? Is yellow gold fabulous once more, or a dated color best left in the past?
