Gold is my new passion when it comes to flashin’ fashion. And I’m not talking about the 24 carat kind. I’m talking the shiny, reflective, metallic variety. Why I have not yet purchased a gold lame’ bikini is beyond me.

It really is better late than never, though, as there are now so many contempo designers flashing back their clothing, shoe, bag, and jewelry lines to gold’s glory days of gaudiness. The result is flashy, yet somehow classy. I love 2009! Anything goes! And I say go for the gold. Sexy gaudy gold, that is.

Seen here: Marc Jacobs Quilted Metallic Leather Stam Satchel, American Apparel Shiny Legging, American Apparel The Shiny Sash, Just Cavalli Just Joy Logo Ring, and Louis Vuitton Graphic Wedge Sandal.

See tons of my favorite sexy gaudy jewelry too! So hot! Trust me, you want to see this.

Most fashion-focused blogs provide readers with up-to-the-minute feedback on the newest, hottest designs of Marc, Issac, Jimmy, Zac, Oscar, and other admired masterminds. While I do attempt to keep myself clued-in to the newest fashion highlights and places to find hot designer garments online, I simply cannot afford to take my sweaty morning walk to work in a $500 Anna Sui silk print sundress.

That’s… not… hap-pening!

Sometimes a girl just wants to kick back and funk out with a bright, sassy, and flirty t-shirt and jeans fit. No, I’m not talking about an $80 Marc Jacobs cotton tee, I’m referring to the whole crop of cute, AFFORDABLE shirts from Wet Seal that I’m obsessed with today! Show off your sense of humor with these cutie tees selected by yours truly for my Tees Me! buyer’s guide on Kazowie!

My favorites: YOU FRONTIN’ tee and of COURSE, the Tupac: AMERICAZ MOST WANTED tee!

So good.

I’m basically positive that the only time I have ever stepped onto a skateboard was when I was about 5 years old. And I didn’t even step onto it, I sat my ass down and rolled to the end of the driveway of my neighbors’ front yard. I did this probably about six times before I became extremely bored and went back home to play with my treasure trolls, vowing to never set foot (or ass) on another skateboard as long as I lived. Nineteen years later, I purchased a Nor Cal sweatshirt. Does this make me a poser?

I don’t really care. I needed something with a huge “Nor Cal” logo emblazoned on it for the few unfortunate times I visited Southern California (why can’t Disneyland be up here?). Plus, the clothes and accessories are cute. I say, if you’re proud to be a Northern Californian, it’s okay to rock Nor Cal gear. I especially love the orange and black SF Giants Dugout Nor Cal tee and the cotton/polyester Stateline Handbag! Hot.
