Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member stephaniepoli from the Lovely Little Vignettes group:

I wanted the packages to have a glamorous feel, yet still hand-crafted. I incorporated brown & white kraft paper, pennants, doilies, buttons & twine. More photos of my packages on my blog, Love & Lace.

Have money to burn? Do you love gold? Then you might just want to hit up the luxe Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, where you can get a tattoo made of real 24-carat gold. But here's the catch: this pricey ink is only temporary.

The Precious Skin tats ($50 to $5,500) are comprised of gold or platinum leaf and were originally developed by Japanese designer Nobuhiko Akatsuka several years back (see his work here). With the recent launch of these luxury temporary tattoos in Dubai, along with plans to extend into more Middle Eastern outlets in the near future, I have a feeling this won't be the last we see of these body art-meets-jewelry accessories. Would you consider getting gilded yourself?

Just in time for the holidays, celebrities are showing up in gold shimmer shadow. But unlike the chunky gold glitter and foiled metallic looks from years past, in the past few days, stars like Selita Ebanks, Keri Hilson, and Emma Roberts have been using soft, shimmering gold on the inner corners of their eyes, usually paired with a darker fawn shadow for their lids. It's a combination that looks beautiful with brown eyes, but also brightens up blue and green peepers nicely. It's not in-your-face festive as eye makeup goes, but would you still like to give this look a try?

While flipping through Skona Hem, I had to stop and take a much closer look at this glamorous bathroom. The entire space is absolutely spectacular, but my favorite element has to be the mod, plaid, golden-hued dresser against the wall. While you could spend thousands commissioning a custom piece similar to this one, you could also re-create the look with a simple DIY. Hear how to do it when you read more

Here's an excerpt of a post by OnSugar blog LesleyKat on getting a sparkly holiday manicure:

May I present to you a holiday nail suggestion: glitter-tipped gold. To create this look, I used Sephora by OPI Charge It! ($9) as my base color. Two coats give a nice opaque, metallic finish. After letting them dry for a few minutes, I then applied a dab of clear (glitter polish would work well too) and dipped the tips of the nails right into the glitter. The glitter I used was LA Splash Lady Luck ($7). This glitter is especially cool because it has small glitter pieces as well as larger ones, and it reflects golds, pinks, and greens.

My eyes lit up – literally – when I saw this look from Fab reader v0naa. Her sassy gold pleated skirt is giving me serious wardrobe envy! It's such a great statement piece, and I especially love the way she kept the rest of her ensemble simple. By styling it with a basic tee, a fitted blazer, black tights, and brogues, she kept the focus on her skirt and all its gilded glory. Her look definitely gave me the gold rush I needed today.

Congrats to v0naa!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!
