Gold Accessories Make Me Smile

March 31, 2015 by Dawn Pasco

gold home decor

I’ve been on a gold kick for the past year and gold accessories are currently in abundance.  I recently picked up a few necessities at Target and naturally I had to make my way down the home decor aisles.  The shelves were shinning brightly with gold home decor from Threshold and Nate Berkus.  I felt a big grin come across my face as I contemplated which item to choose.  It seemed as if they were all shouting pick me, pick me.  My home is a little on home decorative accessory overload right now so I had no business buying anything, but I just had to take Mr. Turtle home with me.


This Fall I shared some of the gold office supplies I picked up at Target.  Gold has made a comeback and believe it or not brass isn’t far behind.  Not the shiny brass we remember from the early 90’s, but a more polished brass. Mixing metallics is also on trend right now.

1. Gold Tray from West Elm

2. Gold Turtle from Target – I just purchased it this past weekend.

3. Gold Hedgehog Planter from West Elm- I purchased this planter a few weeks ago, but finally got my succulent plant put in it. I shared a picture on Instagram.

4. Gold Accent Table from Target

5. Gold and white bowl from Target

I have to admit that I can still be a little gun-shy when it comes to mixing metallics, but I’m working on it.  Ultimately I don’t thing you can go wrong if you choose to decorate with things you love. Gold may not be your thing and that’s okay.  Miss Me jeans weren’t my thing several years ago, and I’m glad that trend has seen its way out. Trends come and go, but I’m all about the gold right now. Sometimes I have to remind myself that a little can go a long way and not overdo it.

I’m thankful gold jewelry has also come back in style.  According to my mother, it never went out of style, but there was a long period of time where it seemed like silver reigned. Gold jewelry actually looks better with my skin tone, so I’m glad it’s popular again.

1. Gold Alex and Ani Bamboo Bracelet – I love Alex and Ani bangle bracelets and own several of them. They look best stacked in multiples.

2. Kate Spade Gramercy Grand Watch– This is on my wish list!

3. House of Harlow Mini Sunburst Pendant Necklace-  I have this necklace and it’s one of my favorites.  It also comes in other colors.

4. Dogeared Boxed Long Y-Necklace– I love Dogeared’s dainty necklaces which are great for layering.

5. Kendra Scott Elle Drop Earrings – I have these earrings in black.

Links for all jewelry are from Nordstrom, but you can also find these brands in other stores.

There’s no denying I’m an accessories gal! It doesn’t matter if it’s home accessories or fashion accessories. Accessories are my favorite things to shop for. I hope you enjoy my picks.

What are some of your favorite home or fashion accessories?
