Fancy a bit of style & luxury this season? Spoil yourself (and your wardrobe) by indulging in one of the season’s hottest trends: gold metallic accents.

Shimmery fabrics, decadent accessories, and glinty heels are the perfect companion for the Spring/Summer ’09 styles now available in Denver’s countless boutiques and major department stores. The key to successfully wearing this trend is balance, and to help keep your look in check, Sarah Meaders of Macy’s Denver shares her smart style secrets for accessorizing with gold.

BBS: Which of the season’s colors will gold work best with?

SM: This season is all about color, and the hot colors to pair with gold right now are bright shades of teal and coral.

BBS: These summery colors and metallic accents make an ideal pairing for day or night. What tips can you share for glamming up an evening look with gold accessories?

SM: The key to wearing gold jewelry is to not overdo it. Pick one fabulous piece like a large necklace that will make a statement and work with your outfit. Showcase that piece by keeping it simple, if you want to add a smaller ring or earrings in the color of your choice with a slight hint of gold it will make you look more sophisticated rather than over the top.

BBS: Exactly, the key here is balance. For women unaccustomed to wearing gold, purchasing costume jewelry is a fun way to experiment. What can customers expect to find at the Macy’s accessory counter this Spring/Summer ’09 season?

SM: We carry a wide variety of trend jewelry offered in our Macy’s brand ranging from $15-$45.

Thanks Sarah! Adding gold accents is a great way to update and refresh your look this season. Whether it’s a chunky bracelet paired with a flirty frock, or metallic pumps to dress up your favorite denims, remember to wear your gold strategically for a well balanced bling.

Shine on, Golden Girls. Shine on.
