Style Theory: As the weather turns a little warmer and the sun shows it's face my love of gold grows..I love a splash of a gold accessory in the Spring and Summer months, it feels indulgent, super luxe and adds a little sparkle to my day to day looks..
The easiest way to add gold to your outfit is with accessories, gold can be classed as a neutral when building a look so anything goes. A gold bag or shoes look fab with a completely dressed down outfit, a breton and boyfriend jeans, add a gold pair of shoes and suddenly your look is elevated to something special.
Here are the best gold buys on the high street now..
 |
| Asos Leather Shopping Bag £32 |
This is a fab price for real leather, although unlined it still looks gorgeous. It would make a fab bag for slinging all the kids gear in or carrying a spare of shoes (I always carry a pair of heels if I am going to a meeting as I always wear trainers to walk anywhere!)
 |
| Aldo @Asos Brogues £55 |
Love love these shoes, they are reminiscent of the Chanel gold loafers I was obsessing about last year. Gorgeous with ankle length jeans and a grey sweater, keep the rest of your outfit casual let the shoes do the talking.
 |
| Superga £55 |
The trainer of the summer, these rose gold Supergas are a slightly toned down gold and look super luxe with sunkissed legs, add a pair of denim shorts and a denim shirts with rose gold fine jewellery for a cool look.

| Topshop £59 |
The shoe of the season, the 'glove' or 'granny' shoe is an acquired taste but do look fabulous on. Wear with ankle length jeans a stripe shirt for a grown up fashion twist on your 'going out' look.
