Gold is the New Black

I’m really excited that gold has made such a strong comeback over the last 10 years. When I was in high school, no one wore gold. Gold was for moms and retirees in Arizona. But in recent years, it’s silly how gold has become an über trendy.  You can find anything in gold:  hard drives,  bow-ties, piggy banks, gold jump drives. You can even get a 24 karat gold plated Mac Book.

When I first started running, I bought a pair of Gold Asics running shoes because not only was I convinced that they would make me run faster, but I was pretty sure that I would be the envy of the running world.  And it worked- people would stop me mid-stride to ask where I got my amazing running shoes.  I also am totally in love with Tom’s Gold Classic Glitter Slip-Ons. BTW, Tom’s shoes gives a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair sold.  Even more reason to have a fancy glittery gold pair of shoes.

Not to mention all of the fabulous gold jewelry and accessories out there. Some of my personal favorites are: the Alex and Chloe Antler necklace, The Modern Rock Square Cut Ring from Metalicious, the White Bracelet with Gold-Plated Suits by Disney Couture and this amazing Gigi Mesh Handbag from 80s Purple.  You can see details on all of these products plus the rest of my giant list of all thing shiny and gold at Solid Gold.
