Gearing up for gold

Award ceremonies abound in a gilded race to the Big Daddy of them all, the Academy Awards. Already we've had a taste of the big contenders from the People's Choice Awards, and we're gearing up for the Globes, all of which will be covered by our in-house TV junkie M.
All these awards and statuettes have put us in the mood for a little gold. If you're planning to watch the Golden Globes with friends, why not make a themed party of it? Here are a few cool things you might consider including.

The Look


Neo nude make-up
Minx Nails






























Subtle gold hues go well with this gilded theme. Apricot eye-shadow, orange blush and nude lips create the Neo-nude look that is all the rage this Spring. We've also snuck in this year's continued fascination with animal prints, borrowing a leaf from Beyonce's book to bring you the wildly popular Minx nails.








The Outfit

This dress works as well on its own, as it does teamed with the cardigan, or even a pair of calf-length black leggings. More animal flair with this adorable owl brooch, to be worn with the long cardi.
