As any regular Stylewhipped readers (or any "regulars" in my life) know, I am a yellow-gold fanatic. I rarely wear silver or platinum, and am currently contemplating painting one wall of my living room metallic gold. Yellow gold is warm, sunny, goes with my blondeness and obsession with the beach...and in some circumstances, is a great way to add a little new-ness and extra chic to your life, wardrobe...and yes, even your tabletop...
Stealing a moment from our resident interiors expert Sherin Botros, I couldn't help but share my latest obsession: gold utensils! Tabletop trends haven't changed much over the past ten years, but just recently this one has made a huge splash. Designers who are expanding their brands with home design collections have been some of the first to really jump on this. Case in point: my personal favorite, Diane von Furstenberg. Her home collection includes this amazing set of silverware...yes, in gold! The "Night" collection is incredibly refined and elegant but also bold and super modern, with simple lines that create a subtle but glamorous statement. The opposite of tacky, gold-filled '80's decor, this is more along the lines of "hmmm, maybe it's real?" because this beautiful trend could easily fit in on-board the world's most amazing yacht or at the most posh restaurant in St. Barth's. Or...hopefully...in my apartment...;)
