If you have access to the internet, fashion magazines or any other style resource, then chances are you’ve noticed that metallics are popping up everywhere. Gold capped shoes, glittery belts and bags and sequined sheaths are suddenly gracing the pages of just about every magazine. They’re so prevalent that several reflective pieces have unintentionally made their way to the top of my wish list – all of these dresses are simultaneously party appropriate and casual (when paired with a jacket, of course).

This fall, neo-baroque is one of the reigning trends: richly embroidered clothing, beaded clutches and pill-box purses, delicate gilded filigree jewelry, gold-accented heels and slippers, brocade and floral everything – all in shades of black, gold, cream, silver and dark red. Most examples given in magazines are fresh off the runway, with the prices to match – so I found some baroque-inspired pieces, most of which are very affordable.

This season, the color red was huge – particularly in the dress department.

Instead, try mixing pops of red into a neutral outfit to make an impact – above are some of my latest cherry-hued finds.
