Go for Gold this summer in Midlands

Gold continues to push the boundaries of chic this season with luxurious fabrics, attention to detail and classic feminine structure. Without doubt a brand that is guaranteed to get people talking. Blue Lagoon Colour palettes of aqua, grey, and soft white make this the perfect programme to kick start the season. Key occasion wear pieces such as the printed Jacquard shift dress and co-ordinated aqua taffeta bolero with ruffle collar make a head turning debut. Jersey contour dresses in piercing aqua sit side by side with delicate animal print dresses that are both figure flattering and easy to wear. Pretty in pink Lipstick pink sets the tone with black and ivory to create an eye catching younger look. Bold print dresses are softened with appliqué ribbon necklines and generously scattered with beads. For those that want to make the most of their waistline structured dresses appear with oversized bows and crystal detailing teamed with matching bolero. The classic spot comes to the fore in monochrome where long line collarless jackets co-ordinate with tiered knee length dresses. Garden Party Old style glamour is evident with antique gold, violet and vanilla creating a stunning sense of opulence. Channel inspired Jacquard bolero with glints of gold thread and a ruffle collar sits perfectly with a wrap bodice dress. Violet feather print jersey appears in both a maxi and knee length easy wear look which is highlighted with black beading and soft ribbon shrugs. Chelsea Lunch Shades of wild rose in a breton spot print appear in draped jersey dresses and tunics with beaded shoulders are complimented by the luxurious feel of wild rose feather wraps. To balance this programme a black and rose firework print brings focus in mesh with pleated panelled dresses, long line tunics and sheer cardi throws. Regatta A bold combination of lemon and black combine with an eclipse print that is bound to steal the summer show in a long line ruffle front maxi finished with a gathered short sleeve shrug. Equally stunning is the woven linen look dress in lemon with side panels of black and oversized bow teamed with the collared bolero creating a very tailored Parisian vibe. Lily Linen look dresses flow from the body in a bias cut with cool lily print that guarantees a light summer feel. Crisp print jackets are defined by contrasting top stitch and co-ordinated with soft ruffle panelled t- shirts and white linen look trousers. Alternatively crocodile print mesh tunic tops, skirts, cardi and dresses allow versatility to relaxed dressing. Gold Weekend Last but not least weekends can be fun with eye popping colours of turquoise, coral, black and white. Casual jackets have been updated with chunky zips and oversized buttons teamed with soft stretch tops in graphic prints and embellished detail. Not to be forgotten linen look trousers are a wardrobe stable in white, turquoise and black with washed denims and spotty knits to finish that high summer look. Gold is available in sizes 10-20. Gold is available from Mary & Marie Fashion, Edenderry; Michelle's Boutique, Birr, and Burgess, Athlone.
