Color Combo: B&G

Vintage Gold Tone Necklace

SJP Collection "Carrie" in Black

When you get creative with personal style the color combinations are seemingly endless. There are several elements that one can use to make their personal fashion expression unique to their experience and color is one of them.

Today I am feeling the Black and Gold vibe. Understated from a color stand point but a timeless and chic color combo.

I fist fell in love with this combo in the early 1990's via CHANEL. They are the ultimate black and gold fashion house to me. The accessories are, and always have been on another level.

Gilded Darkness: Black & Gold

GUCCI

One of the fun things about Fashion for me is colour pairing.  There is the Colour Theory behind fashion (to be explored in another blog) with respect to complimentary colours but as the lazy says of summer start to slip away I want to transition into fall with a shade and metallic combo: Black and Gold. YES coloUr (I'm Canadian).

I have seen some 2012/2013 Collections with this pairing and I adore it. I also adore the mix of current and Vintage items in my style repertoire as well.
