Black and Gold - Cosmephile

I'm baaaaack! Thanks to a glitch in password resetting, I have been unable to post anything since September! Whew, it's been a long while, but to make up for being M.I.A., I have a slew of posts to satisfy your "look" needs. The first of which is one that I've been wanting to try for a very long time. Without further ado, a look that has been featured on Ginnifer Goodwin:
