Beauty Note: Go for the Gold!
Seeing as the Olympics are in full swing I thought it might be fun to do a blog inspired by the games–particularly those covetable golden medals. Since summer is winding down, it's time to start thinking transitionally. One of my favorite accents to wear this time of year is gold. I like to sprinkle it into my looks by adding a gilded hairpiece or glossing my nails with a sparkly golden polish. It's a finish that works well for both summer and fall, which is why it is such a lovely, transitional choice for this time of year.
All you need is a little pop of sparkle to make an otherwise simple outfit truly shine. Whether it's the line of an eye, the glow of a sun kissed cheek, the sparkle of an unexpected barrette or the gleam of a golden nail, adding a Midas touch is never a bad idea...
Are you going for the gold?
Let me know how you incorporate it into your beauty look in the comments below. Extra credit for those of you who upload a photo to your profile page and share the link below. (Who knows...you could be our next Chic of the Week!)

P.S. Out of curiosity, what's your favorite event to watch during the summer Olympics? I love gymnastics and diving :-)

I love these! I actually have the black and gold eyeliner look going on right now! I've been adoring the golden hairpieces since they first showed up on the runways. Where is yours from?

I love using gold accessories to make an outfit just pop. My favorite nail polish for the past 4 years has been Gold Fiction by Chanel. It is seriously my go-to color choice. My two fave sports in the summer olympics are men's swimming and women's gymnastics. I love Gabby Douglas and love that she won best all-around! Go USA! :)
