I'm Obsessed Thank You Very Much - Rose Gold

I've found myself reaching for my few rose gold pieces often. I'm loving that they mix so well with silver or gold. The pretty pink color is so warm and summery and you know how I love metallics. I have found myself wanting a few more rose gold items to add to my collection.

I saw these fantastic Ray-Ban aviators on some fellow bloggers. Then I lucked out and found them on amazon. They were a great price and I love them. It's hard to tell but they have the most amazing rose gold mirror lenses (even though they are called Copper Flash). The rose gold Stella and Dot Renegade bracelet has been on my must list for a while. I'd love to get a rose gold monogram necklace. This Rebecca Minkoff cross body bag would be a fun addition to my summer wardrobe. Essie polish in Penny Talk is a fun metallic to add to your collection. Just be sure to use a ridge filling base coat because the metallic finish shows every ridge and flaw. I love the geometric shapes of these rings. This belt would look so pretty on a white dress. You know my obsession with oxfords. These by Cole Haan would be a perfect addition to my collection. The Manolos are a pipe dream but I love them. The flat sandals are a pretty and more realistic option.

Do you love rose gold as much as I do?

I'm Obsessed Thank You Very Much - Mirror Metallics

My love of silver and other metallics is no secret. I even painted a table silver. A pair of bedside tables are next. I'm especially in love with mirror metallics.  I love how they stand out, make a statement but still go with everything.  Metallics are neutral.  You would never think of whether or not you can wear a silver or gold necklace with a specific color top or dress.  It's the same with a metallic shoe or bag.  I wear my mirror silver oxfords constantly and I'm dying for a pair of flats or a cute low heel.

You can even wear silver mirror nails. I love the version by Jamberry. I did a review of them in September. I love that they last a long time and don't dry out. You can get several manicures from one set of Jamberry nails.

More mirror metallic items are on my want list.  I'm loving the ankle strap low heels and the mirror clutch.

DIY - Rose Gold Watch

Last year I was watching an episode of "Bethenney Getting Married" and she was wearing an amazing rose gold watch. I fell in love and immediately wanted to get one of my own. I searched and searched. The rose gold craze hadn't hit yet and the only watches I could find cost a small fortune. I finally found one at Loehmann's for only $12!  I've worn it constantly for the last six months. The watch is still running great but the rose gold finish is wearing off. It now looks like a cross between gold and pale pinkish silver. That's what you get for $12.

I'm still not ready to plunk down the $200+ for the Michael Kors watch I really want. I thought I'd do a little overhaul on the $12 watch. Using some rose gold/copper spray paint I'd already purchased for another project, I devised a plan.

Supply List

1. watch
2. tape (painters tape, masking tape, or duct tape)
3. rose gold spray paint
4. old magazine
5. cup or glass to hold the rolled magazine
6. paper towels

Cut tape to cover the crystal face of the watch and any other surfaces you don't want to paint. Cover the crystal.

Roll the magazine in a tube and slip the watch over the magazine.

Using very light strokes give the watch one coat of paint.

I gave the watch three coats of paint.  Letting it dry thoroughly in between.  The final product.
