The gold plated trend has become one of my favourite trends this summer. Being shown mainly on shoes and belts, it transforms any plain, simple outfit into a very sophisticated, glamorous look. Originally seen on the runway from designers such as Giuseppe Zanotti and Balmain, the gold plated trend has made such a huge statement. Don't worry you don't need to fork out a fortune either to gain this look, I managed to pick up these sandals for £6 and this belt for £3 both from good old Primark! (Excuse the state of the shoes, I have worn these to death!)
I've had so many compliments on both these items, with many people assuming they are from Zara or Karen Millen....not on this student budget! Personally I think the look works best when worn with black, I've tried it with a black midi skirt and top as well as a maxi dresses and going out dresses. Add some dainty jewellery and you are set to go. Honestly, I currently swear by simple accessorising...it's the way forward!
