Get the Look: Turquoise and Gold Thanksgiving Table
I'm totally inspired by this Thanksgiving table setting from Martha Stewart. First of all, the gold pumpkins are utterly chic and a great way to update an overused seasonal décor item. Furthermore, the combination of this soft cerulean/turquoise color with the rich gold is simply beautiful and an elegant alternative to the warm browns and oranges you see on most Thanksgiving tables.
What Do You Think of Leighton Meester's Mixed Makeup Look?
Last night at the American Eagle Outfitters flagship store preview party in New York City, Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester really played up her new rockstar style wearing cherry red lipstick paired with a mix of metallic gold and smoky purple eye shadow. This is an updated version of a popular red and purple trend from the 1980's, and it totally oozes too cool for school — even for high society institutions like Constance or NYU!

Holiday Makeup: The Golden Girl
When it comes to holiday makeup, all that glitters truly is gold. There are few shades more universally flattering, and the light-diffusing properties of metallics make skin look soft, warm, and undeniably inviting. There's no better time of year to deck yourself out in a little royal glitter, whether you want to glow in soft candlelight or correct the harshness of fluorescent office lighting.

Melissa George in Gold Lanvin: Love It or Hate It?
Melissa Geroge revealed her avant-garde side at the premiere of her psychological thriller, Triangle, in London wearing a shimmering gold dress and decadent baubles — all by Lanvin. Indeed, Melissa is beyond gorgeous and so is her Lanvin frock, but there's something about the two together that don't mesh. Maybe it's the longer hemline and the fact that she's wearing black tights in August?
Trend Alert: Opaque Gold Nails
Metallic nail varnish has been widely popular for the past couple of years, and it looks like the trend is sticking around for at least the rest of Summer. Celebrities like Fergie, painted her digits a rich gold at a Black Eyed Peas event last night in Los Angeles, whilst Lily Allen gallivanted around London on Tuesday evening with gilded nails. This look is fun, funky and definitely for those who aren't afraid of being noticed.
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.

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.
