Break out your extra-large hoop earrings because gold is back in a big way this fall and winter. Not that it was ever totally out of fashion, but with the bohemian look as this next season's signature style and the return of fall earth-tone colors, gold is supposed to be more popular than ever. Along with the fall color and style trends, other factors in this surge in gold popularity can be attributed to a few additional factors:

• Fashion Magazines: Flip through a few next time your in the line at the grocery store and you'll see celebs like Reese Witherspoon (currently on the cover of Marie Claire) laden with gold jewelry.
  
  
• Financial Statements: With the economy in its current state and the cost of white metals such as platinum so high, gold is a more economical " bling" alternative.
