Metallic Mania

Ever since Burberry Prorsom's Spring 2013 show where models proceeded down the  runway in stunning metallic trench coats, shine has taken center stage in the fashion forefront. Shimmering shades of pink, blue, green and violet are just as present next to classic silver and gold statement accessories. 

Above: Prabal Gurung's violet lame pants are a work of art yet shockingly wearable when paired with tailored pieces. A rose gold bomber jacket adds instant cool amongst the most seasoned of fashion crowds. Score one for your own closet here. Acne's metallic leather dress makes this blond look like an ice princess. Achieve a similar look for a fraction or the price in this or this.

One of the easiest way to incorporate metallics into your wardrobe is with accessories. Metallic shoes are always show stoppers, and not just because they are blinding those around you by reflecting light;) Don't be afraid to try out more adventurous metallic shades in small doses such as a lime green bag or shiny cobalt blue flats.
