Rylan sings 'Gold' on the XFactor

Well, what a showdown last night! I do love a bit of tension.

Poor old Rylan, Gary Barlow really isn't that keen on him.

Here at BeGolden we generally love all things gold but his rendition of a Spandau Ballet classic has definitely left us divided...

Strictly Come Dancing Kimberley Walsh vs Victoria Pendleton

It's the outfits that I love! All this gold shimmering sparkle is right up my street.

Apparently there is some friction between Kimberely and Victoria on this season's Strictly Come Dancing which is bound to increase viewing figures. Why do we love a good squabble? So very British.

A Stunning Gold Feature Wall

As featured on the website Design Hunter, this really is the most stunning feature imaginable. 

It was created when a former Grade II listed methodist chapel was converted into a striking and contemporary modern home. In a nod to the property's ecclesiastical past the large open plan living area was given a striking 7 metre high 23 carat gold leaf wall, which reflects the changing light throughout the day and adds a warmth and richness to the design scheme. 

Gorgeous.

Kate Middleton Goes Gold

What a sensational dress! We love it.

Made by Alexander McQueen, the gold and white dress was Kate's choice for the Malaysian state dinner - apparently the golden floral embroidery is meant to resemble Malaysia's national flower, the hibiscus.

How beautiful does she look.

We love Gold and we love Kate - perfect combo!

Our Gold Leather Satchels are In!

We are so excited about this new addition to our BeGolden range.

We are delighted with this little beauty which we now have available on our online shop. If you can resist buying for yourself, this would make a fabulous Birthday or Christmas gift.

Gold Studded Accessories

They are all the rage! Everywhere you look at the moment you see gold studs. Gold studs on collars, on cuffs, on bags and as shown in these cute little black Zara pumps, even on shoes. Adds a bit of attitude. We're all for it.

Brocade goes Big this Autumn/Winter 2012

Every magazine I've read lately is featuring gold brocade. The fabrics are heavy and metallized and the look is so cool.

As they say on www.elle.com, 'Nothing gets a woman through the fall and winter weather like rich lavish fabrics and designs. From lace to velvet to brocade, fall runways exhibited the sleekest of styles for a season of luxe dressing'

Couldn't agree more.

Off to see Anna Karenina to get more inspiration.
