Well, we all know how cute Nate Berkus is but his mom might be even cuter! Nancy Golden is a one – woman powerhouse and as chic as can be. When I met her at Chef Art Smith’s Blog 2 – Chic organic cuff with crystal wedding to Jesus Salguiero, I barely noticed that the man on her arm was Nate! She is stunningly beautiful, petite and has a megawatt smile that can bring the house down. She was also wearing one of the coolest necklaces I’d ever seen. When I asked her where it came from, she simply said, “I made it.” I asked her to send me info and she is definitely someone you should know! Nancy Golden began her design career 33 years ago and has been featured on numerous decorating shows on HGTV and DIY. Blog 4 – Embellished croc scarf for right shoulder She was chosen as the decorating expert and hosted DIY’s “Decorating and Design,” “Ask DIY,” “Bare Walls” and her signature series, “Weekend Decorating.” As a special treat, she co-hosted a “Bare Walls” segment with Blog 3 – Nate with mom Nancy wearing her 48 flower link necklace her darling son, now the host of his own “The Nate Berkus Show.” Nancy and Nate also teamed up for a design seminar aptly named “Designer Genes.” Three years ago Nancy switched from designing interiors to designing “oneself.” The birth of her line, Goldenwear, came about through her love for anything leather, organic and deconstructed. She uses recycled leather, exotics including python and croc, natural stones and vintage chains hand-making each piece in her home studio in Las Vegas. Her pieces are reasonably priced, ranging from $45 to $495. If you like Marni and Lanvin pieces, you will LOVE the look and price of Goldenwear.
