Rose Gold.

The title defines my subject for today. I have been observing the rose gold trend internationally for quite a while now and believe me at first I thought it's just a fancy name for bronze-y things and wouldn't go with my skin tone and too expensive to invest in and the list of excuses went on. Till one day while browsing I saw this watch and understood the hype. three syllables and teensy weensy bit of saliva rolling down my lips confirmed that a) this is so not bronze and b) I so need it in my life even if it doesn't end up suiting me. Yet i had a few doubts.

Till I saw Nicole Kidman in this ad with the Omega on her wrist. That's when i was completely sold, don't know if all the elements in the ad (the blush colored walls, her flow-y blush-y dress, tousled hair etc) played with my head or it was the actual watch but all I know is that this is constantly on my mind.

After all it's not just watches  in which rose gold is making appearances but also...

Rose gold cuff

Even bags started opting for delicate rose gold details in the forms of zippers, buckles and bases. A particular one on my ever changing list is..

Zara bag, current season

It is so pretty, just my style in the form of the boxy shape, roomy on the inside, black and star of the show Rose gold. Even cosmetics have taken up the trend. Remember the metallic nail polish trend, well for that Orly came out with a gorgeous color that put the rest of the colors in that collection on the back seat of the bus! 

Orly 'Rage'

Pretty!!! Could'nt get my hands on it though, it was limited edition and only available in the US. So I have ordered the closest dupes from BeautyUk's posh polish collections of 'gemstone' and 'foil' shown below through http://www.facebook.com/beautyunleashed11?sk=info. These were reviewed by Sara Hassan Here and Here. Obviously this goes to show that I don't let go of things easily.

'Sunstone' gemstone finish

Rose gold color is also available in...

Mac skin finish in 'Super' limited collection

So totally need that and check out the gorgeous packaging here in Elizabeth Arden's Rose Aurora collection, the inside is superb and so is the outside. Worth every single penny for anyone who has purchased.

So yeah...told you there are gonna obsessive ramblings over here, rose gold is definitely on my list to get and the only thing that stops me is that whether its just a trendy piece or is it gonna last long on the scene. Nevertheless I love how this is being used in so many ways and in so many pieces, you can see a few picks on my Fashiolista page too! Anyway I would love to know your opinions about this, have you got a piece already or are you looking for one? Takecare!
