Yellow Gold vs White Gold

The endless battle to which color is best for you? Some people already know what they like, which by all means I applaud you! For those of us who just can't decide whether to put your beautiful stone on that pretty white gold or yellow gold setting, here are some fun facts that might help you decide what to do! 

YELLOW GOLD

 made up of: GOLD + COPPER + ZINC

classic & elegant look

less maintenance BUT does need to be polished to keep shine

the higher Karats (21 kt-24 kt) are less durable

can be dented

compliments darker skin tones

WHITE GOLD

made up of: GOLD + SILVER + PALLADIUM

better for diamonds

more expensive

more maintenance BUT more durable

scratch resistant

compliments lighter skin tones

Fall 2014 is near!

During my hunt for some trendy fall fashion, I ran across this article by NYC Recessionista that I absolutely adored and thought I should share! For those of you, including myself, that love to shop on a budget but still get a fabulous look together check out these trendy pieces for low cost! All can be found on Forever 21, Bauble Bar and Banana Republic's site. I actually had the luck of finding two very similar pieces at Marshall's the other day EVEN CHEAPER! Fall is approaching and the darker shades with gold are returning!
