Missing Months & Lipstick

It's been some time since I've had the inclination to blog. Partly because it's been a very busy few months on my end and partly because I felt quite uninspired. It became increasingly more difficult for me to write about what's trending in fashion and who's wearing what when there was so much turmoil in he world.

Here at GoS we've always tried to keep things lighthearted and fun so writing about anything other than "feel good" seemed quite at odds with what we were trying to do with the blog. The reality of life however is that everyday is not all fluffy clouds and rainbows and perhaps it's ok to talk about what irks us, we are only human after all.

Now that you have the back story about where we've been and why...

Inspiration seems to have come back in some ways and I wanted to kick it off with something as simple as lipstick!!. It is often said that during times of economic downturn the big winners in retail is lipstick. It seems when all else fails and fashion and accessories seems like a frivolity we cannot afford we turn to lipstick to brighten our lives and give us a change.

The beauty of a new lipstick is that it doesn't have to cost much to bring a trend / fashion statement to your look. It's feminine, beautiful and comes in very small packaging making us feel less guilty about our shopping trip.

My current love in lipstick is all things matte and bold - from hot pinks to orange. When it comes to purchasing a "trend" color rather than splurge I always turn to Rimmel London cosmetics. They carry a great range of colors, their products are great quality and best of all the price means I can pick up a few pieces without breaking the bank.

All That Glitters - Precious Metals Trend

The past few weeks have seen a number of beauties hit the red carpet in precious metals. Gold has had a strong showing on runways throughout the year and continues to be a favorite with silver, bronze and even copper making an appearance.

Heading into the Christmas party season I am loving the idea of wrapping myself up in precious metals! 

Elisha Cuthbert cut a fine figure in this Editions by Georges Chakra Spring 2011 gold sequin column dress. The color against her skin makes her positively glow. I love the simplicity of the hair and accessories. The beauty of precious metals is "less is more"!



Kate Moss stepped our draped in gold in this Marc Jacobs evening gown for her book launch. The dress has an old Hollywood vibe about it and I love the dark gold tone...now I just wish Kate and done something different with her hair and skipped that necklace!



Taylor Swift  looked divine in a Zuhair Murad Pre-Fall 2012 long-sleeve mini dress with gold accessories. A wonderful alternative to wearing a full gold gown, look for beading / embroidered detail in the color du jour.


Pink hit the AMA's red carpet in a beautiful Catherine Deane creation with bronze laser cut leather bodice. A wonderful alternative to gold bronze is a flattering color to many skin tones.



Karolina Kurkova recently stepped out draped in a silver Nicholas Oakwell Couture gown. She kept her look very tonal with all silver accessories adding a pop of color with her lipstick. This look may be overpowering on some but I found it very regal on Karolina.



Naomie Harris recently wore a spectacular Nicholas Oakwell Fall 2012 Couture mini dress combining black chiffon with copper embellishment...yes copper! She accessorized with a gold belt. Now this is how you mix your precious metals!




There is definitely something for everyone in the precious metal stakes. Find the color that suits you best and keep the rest of your styling simple for an elegant, eye catching look. Here are some of our top picks for getting in on the precious metal style yourself! Enjoy! Ronelle @ GoS xox
