Going for gold

I have been inspired by the Olympics to create a 'going for gold' post, this will consist of 5 gold fashion/beauty finds that are Olympic worthy! To kick off the list a piece of gold jewellery...

1. Gold Tone Diamante And Pearl Collar - £28

I adore this glamorous collar, this could instantly jazz up any plain tee or dress. The sparkliness of the colour is stunning. At £28 it is a little pricey however for a special occasion it is a reasonable price to pay, also you could definitely get a lot of wear out of this piece because it could suit dresses and tee shirts and make them look more glamorous.

2. Sequin Cross Back Bodycon Dress by Dress Up Topshop - £58
I really love this gold sequin bodycon dress from Topshop, the colour is very elegant and you could keep your look simple and team it with plain black court shoes and a simple clutch or you could be daring and add hints of colour such as bright tights, a statement necklace and a faux fur shrug that screams glamorous! 

3. Moda In Pelle Gold Sequins Platform Court Shoes - £59.99
These shoes can be described in one word, stunning. Everything about these shoes is stunning, the shape, the colour, the height - everything. You could pair these with a little black dress for a minimal glamour look or be daring and mix with a brighter dress such a royal purple or hot pink.

4. Gold cowl back metallic tee - £28
This tee is a more casual way of putting gold into your outfit, you could dress it down and wear it over light, straight leg jeans for a casual look. However you could also tuck it into a high-waisted,  mini skirt and throw on some heels, a fitted blazer and a large necklace and show off you're gorgeous new look! Metallic gold seems like a very formal colour however it's easy to dress up or down, it just depends on the cut of the garment and how you style it. 

5. MAC Nail Lacquer Screaming Bright - £10


My final 'Going For Gold' find is a beauty product, MAC Nail Lacquer is 'Screaming Bright' This golden shade is bound to put all eyes on you, the sparkling gold colour will glitter and when the light hits it it will radiate even more shimmers. I'm in love with this shade, you could wear rings of a similar colour to the gold or even go for a whole jewel theme to compliment the shimmer in the nail lacquer. 

I hope you've enjoyed reading my 'Going For Gold' list inspired by the Olympics! 
Love Dixie
