The situation will never occur where gold will ever go out of style. It has been adored and sought after for generations. Cleopatra, Egyptian pharaoh had an insatiable love for the precious metal. Gold has even made it to the movies..who can forget the final Austin Powers movie, Austin Powers in Goldmember, starring Beyoncé Knowles as Foxxy Cleopatra?

Everyone loves a bit of shimmer and luxury, but these days it seems everyone's got gold fever. Perhaps this summer's olympic games have inspired the rush, the many athletic contenders competing for the precious metal. Or perhaps this season's trend is inspired by beautiful sunshine and golden tans - something this country is not too familiar with! Whatever the piece, a gold bangle, gold dress, gold heels..there is an array of affordable pieces to work this opulent trend. 

Anne Hathaway, who recently did a marvelous job of portraying the slinky and seductive cat woman in the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, wowed in a shimmering Gucci gown. The gorgeous floor length number was embellished with gold beading and flowers around the haltered neck. Hathaway looked stunning with her soft makeup and pixie cut!
