Over the last few fashion seasons metallics have become one of the most ubiquitous trends. From lustrous frocks to reflective bags and shoes, high-shine pieces have flooded the market place. The ritzy finishes are not just for fancy soirées and holiday fêtes, but are re-imaged for everyday and even encouraged to be paired with denim—real talk. The most prominent tone as of late is the most decadent of all, gold! If the idea of a g littering gold metallic pair of pants sends you into a panic attack—we can't be friends—then try incorporating the gold rush trend will small  hits. My favourite way to wade into the trend is with a sleek pair of pumps. The high heels give you more drama than a piece of gold jewellery but are far more reserved than a full on gilded dress.    Never more a wardrobe staple than it is now, the metallic gold pump can pack a serious punch in your everyday wardrobe. Style for day: For an schleppt chic look top a striped shirt with an oversized blazer and a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans. Skip the jewellery and ground the look with a shiny pumps. Style for night: Black and gold is the ultimate power couple colour pairing. Dress up a LBD with embellished and high-shine accessories. Add different textures of gold extras to accessorize the look—try a beaded clutch, rhinestone statement necklace and patent pumps.
