Polyvore Collage Day : Black and Gold

I'm really liking this theme. Apart from it being the name of a very cool Sam Sparro song, it's also one of my favorite color combinations:

Black and Gold

It was great fun doing this because you can do so much with black and with gold, even separately.
As you can see, there's a fiar share of baroque patterns, on both the dress an bag. It's simply because I find those patterns to be very noble looking, just as I find both black and gold to be noble looking, so the collaboration of the two is quite perfect.

Now let's talk wedges! Is it just me or are they very very awesome? It's definitely a thing I'd wear if they wouldn't imply my height going to 2m while on them. I don't mind the "heel" as it's super comfortable, I'd just be towering over people more than usual but I have a feeling that one day I'll give into temptation and tower away.
The other booties are also gorgeous and a clearly designed for more formal events and in any case, more chic. The wedges are obviously on the rock 'n roll side of life.

Sequins,glitter...how can you say gold and not have one or both? That's why we have the sequin shorts and the gorgeous Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow polish.

I find gold to be ideal for accessorizing and I would have added a studded black sweater if I would have found one, as studs work great on black tops. I went with the stud bracelet and the vintage/vintage looking watch. I always find men's watches to look very sexy on a female wrist, and this one is that AND gold. Win win situation!
