Bluetooth Headsets: Tacky vs. Trendy

After chatting with a friend on the weekend, who got nailed with a $130 after getting caught chatting on her cell phone (California law requires you to use a hands-free device while driving), I've decided to show some love to the Bluetooth devices. Just like Nadya Suleman, my friend is going to have to invest in a hands-free device. Since she's a bit of a fashionista and doesn't want to use the standard earpiece included with her BlackBerry, I feel like it's my duty to offer up some decent suggestions.

Although the first headset pictured here is a Dolce & Gabbana H700 Bluetooth Headset by Motorola ($73), I had to force my friend to ignore the D&G label. The headset is too big and the shiny gold is a little over the top — definitely not geek chic in my book. Instead, I recommended this sleek Jawbone Bluetooth Headset with Noise Assassin ($74) to her, which is still stylish, and offers amazing sound technology.

Cool Idea: Gilt-y as Charged

Check out the luxe look of the interior of this credenza and the table lamp atop it, thanks to their gilded interiors. I love the idea of a secret, gold lining to a furniture or accent in your home. It lends an unexpected, glam touch. The Ikea Trollsta Sideboard ($349) seems like an obvious choice for a gilded interior; don't you think? You can add a touch of gold to your furniture with gold paint or gilt cream. Have you done this to any furniture at your house?

Fall 2009 Top Ten: Little Gold Dresses

Fall 2009 was a season rich with metallic options but if you're not keen on investing in Chris Benz's metallic blue blazer or Preen's watermelon pink trousers not to worry. Classic little gold cocktail dresses were in many of the collections, and touch on the trend without being necessarily trendy. To that end, here are ten great examples from the Fall 2009 season. Our favorite? The yellow-gold number at Calvin Klein.

Dress Me Up: Gold & Gray

Gold & gray go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Gold & gray go together like peanut butter and jelly. Meaning, they're fine alone, but when combined, they produce even richer flavors. Gray calms down gold, while gold pumps up gray's volume a notch or two. The result is part vivid, part mellow.

When I close my eyes, I envision this Mason by Michelle Mason Metallic Gold Corset ($83, originally $275) paired over a fitted heather gray long-sleeve tee. The bottom layer would tame the corset and make it more everyday wearable. Yummy — try it sometime.

Actress Frieda Pinto, who stars in my one of my favorite movies of 2008, Slumdog Millionaire, looked stunning in this golden dress, which she wore at the Dubai International Film Festival. I love the Lotus Flower Dish ($24-48) and Mister Knorr by Philippe Starck Stool ($1,555), which both reflect that same gold glamour as Pinto's gown.

Gilding, which is defined as covering something thinly with gold leaf or gold paint, can add a glamorous touch to common objects. While the luxurious look of a gilt item may be specious, it's all the while beautiful, and I can't help but want one for myself. Be it a gilt twig bowl or a perfume bottle painted with gold flowers, that metallic shimmer is every bit elegant. So, I've rounded up some of the most glamorous gilt interior décor items around, and they're yours for the taking. Go for the gold when you read more

For my silver seating area, I relied on white and plum tones to offset the blingy silver. The look of this sitting area is refined, feminine, and warm, even though the colors are cool. My favorite piece, by far, is the Timber Table ($235), whose faux bois pattern looks surprisingly fresh when it's interpreted in lucite.

Refinery 29 put together a great round-up of the yellow-y gold we've been seeing on the streets--looks like Muiccia Prada, for the first time ever, was beaten to the punch. 

Bebe is testing out a concept store, called 2b, for young women who aspire to the bebe lifestyle. There's something about encouraging young women to dress like striving trophy wives that rubs us the wrong way. 

Fashionista makes a case for Caroline Kennedy--who has set her sights on the New York Senate seat soon to be departed by Hillary Clinton--and lets us know that this beauty once shaved off her eyebrow in an act of defiance.

Accessories, the full-priced standby in fashion has, like beauty, done the unthinkable and gone 50% off in response to the recession.
