I had put together a few of my favorite gold-dipped things for the To and From Magazine Gift Guide (catch me on page 45), but after starting the hunt for all of that gold, I found, I couldn’t really stop.  There are so many glitzy gold items that I want!  Not that that should come as any surprise to anyone.  So without further ado …

Get the Gifts: A.L.C. Manacle Stacking Ring // Gorjana Peace & Heart Studs // J.Crew Magic Wallet // Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish // Williams Sonoma Gold-Banded Glasses // J.Crew Cap-Toe Pumps // West Elm Gold Flatware // Anthropologie Color-blocked Antler Curio // CB2 Pig Bookends // Gold Paper Bowls // Gold Leaf Tray // Leif Glitter Cake Server // BCBG Studded Retro Headphones // Michael Kors Lexington Watch // CC Skye Feather Bangle // 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel (On Sale!) // Shashi Nugget Chain Necklace // Jennifer Zeuner Hamsa Necklace // Rag & Bone Metallic Tuxedo Jacket

Also, the skull candle, gold flatware, striped throw, lucite bar cart, and silver baskets will.be.mine.

Now this is the kind of office I could get plenty of work done in … or not, because I’d be too busy gazing at my Prada Marfa print and dalmatian-spotted walls. The luxe vintage-inspired gold shelving and extensive fashion literary database are just the icing on the cake.
