BECAUSE IT'S MONDAY: BLACK & GOLD V.2

Thomas Wylde Fall 12 lookbook via here

A huge welcome to the new week! I hope it's full of sunshine and blue skies... I'll just ignore the cold for a wee bit longer. How was your weekend?

Hypnotic, exotic, magnificent, decandent, luxe, ornate, bold, dramatic, glamourous, sexy... 

I just love everything about black & gold, it's just ultra seductive, no?
