Do NOT hold your applause, and please feel free to cheer - here comes Leo season, dancing right on to the stage and stealing the spotlight, ready to shake things up and infuse some sunshine, wild energy, and a touch of glitter into the atmosphere of chill that Cancer season left behind. Leos are fierce, feisty, high drama Fire Signs, and you can take it from the one half of team Cold Gold that is as Leo as they come: Shelby’s Leo cusp birthday makes her something of an expert (self-declared, of course). Buckle up pals, here’s the Cold Gold Gift Guide to Leo Season, as picked by a Leo. 

Just like the constellation they’re named for, lion-like Leos are aggressively loyal and protective of their crowd. Leos tend to be a little (or a lot) showy and they’ll do what it takes to keep the crowd laughing, clapping, or at least paying attention. Their bold moves (both in life and on the dance floor) are sure to be accompanied by equally bold looks. These Fire signs thrive in a hot, saturated Summertime color scheme: think reds, pinks, oranges, yellows, and, most importantly, shiny, sparkling GOLD, baby. Enter: the Cold Gold Hexagon Geo Studs in White Speckle. Eye-catching gold shimmer and a modern hexagon shape make these babies the perfect pick for your Leo pal with a “Queen Bee” attitude. 

Looking for a Leo? Have you checked the spotlight? Some of our favorite celeb Leo signs include Mick Jagger, Lucille Ball, Kacey Musgraves, Barack Obama, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Andy Warhol, & Maya Rudolph. In case that list didn’t make this clear: Leos tend to be… A Lot. A lot of feelings, a lot of confidence, a lot of creativity, a lot of energy, and a lot of heart. Known to be charming, driven, bubbly, enthusiastic, and optimistic, Leos might find it harder *not* to make friends than to make friends. In a complete turnaround from moon-driven Cancer Season, the Leo sign is ruled by the sun, and they’re turning up the heat from July 23rd to August 22nd. You might find them on the farthest tropical island thriving in the sunshine, planning their own surprise birthday party, or burning down the dance floor in next year’s hottest fashion trend. Go big or go home isn’t even an option for these firecrackers - obviously, they’re going big. 

Self-elected + unquestioned leader of the pack, maker of plans and last-second changer of plans, the Leo on the go doesn’t just want the Yellow Leather Belt Bag - they need it. Keep your favorite Leo collected, coordinated + on color scheme by pairing it with the matching Leather Keychain in Yellow. Side note, can we all agree that Mick Jagger would rock this sunny belt bag like no one else could?

When you’re going big, you gotta finish with a bang: your Leo pal is going to love stepping out in the Cold Gold Leather Pom Pom Earrings in Mattel Pink. A current fave of our resident Leo, these babies are playful, fun to wear, and are guaranteed to grab some double-takes. As the party-seeking Leo struts their stuff, these leather pom poms will spin and bounce to reveal a Summer-forever color scheme in matte pink, boisterous yellow, and shimmering metallic pink. Round out your favorite Leo’s birthday gift with a statement earring that’s as original, colorful, and loud as they are. 

There you have it, the Cold Gold gift guide to the whirlwind that is Leo Season. We hope this season brings you sunny days and a bright, optimistic Leo-style outlook on life, and that this blog gives you some inspiration for spoiling the Leo in your crowd. We’ll see you again soon with a gift guide to Virgo Season!
