Time to shine

"silver and gold, silver and gold, silver and gold

everyone wishes for silver and gold.

how do you measure its worth?

just by the pleasure it gives here on earth.."

Well, it's officially the start of the holiday season and what better way to kick-off our gift-giving with metallics. I don't know about you, but I think silver, gold, glitter and shine fit no more appropriately than at Christmas and New Year's. You can keep your red and green motif, I prefer the luxurious look of the things that gleam.
