Sparkle Like Markle: Dainty Yellow Gold Rings by Blush and Bar
Somewhere along the line, I feel like yellow gold fell out of favor when it comes to rings. Silver, white gold, or platinum became the go-to, especially for engagement and wedding rings. And then came Meghan! When she showed off her yellow gold engagement ring in 2017 sales of the metal took off. According to the World Gold Council, the first quarter of 2018 showed the strongest demand for gold jewelry since 2009. The Meghan Effect is real, people. As we've got to know Meghan's style ...

A Royally Good Day in Bath
As much as I love London, sometimes you just need to get out of the city. Before this May, the last time I'd been to Bath was 18 years ago. It was a bit of a whirlwind day trip with my school. I remember doing the Roman baths, going on an open-top bus tour, and that's about it. But the charming old-world feel of the city stuck with me all these years and I'd been dying to go back. Since no one else in my family had ever been, we made plans to visit during our royal wedding trip. I also have ... View Post
