GO FOR THE ROSE GOLD

Ever since I got my rose gold engagement ring, I have been obsessed with blush-hued jewelry. I've never been one to wear anything pink besides an occasional nail polish, but with my paleness and red undertones, yellow gold is very harsh on my skin, unlike rose gold. Consider me converted! And with any obsession, I've been doing quite a bit of online browsing and have found a few rose gold favorites that I can't wait to wear as everyday pieces.

Top to bottom, left to right: Straight As An Arrow Necklace ($240.00) - Maya Brenner Designs, Rose Gold-Tone Feminine Classic Sport Watch ($135.00) - GUESS, Bittersweets NY Teensy Diamond Ring ($218.00) - Free People, Tiny Skull Studs ($48.00) - Bing Bang NYC, LOVE Ring - Cartier, James Colarusso™ T Bracelet ($2,925.00) - J.Crew, Shashi 'Ophelia' Rose Gold Necklace ($118.00) - Anthropologie, Tomboy First Knuckle Ring ($148.00) - Catbird, Mini Letter Stud ($196.00 - Pair) Maya Brenner Designs.

Fourth of July is only days away, and while you've probably planned what you're going to do, we can help you plan your outfit with pieces you'll wear year round. Here are some options that get into the American spirit classically - not the Amurrrican spirit (get what we're saying?)

WHICH ARROW NECKLACE SHOULD JESS CHOOSE?

I've always wanted an arrow necklace - I thought it was for no specific reason other than that they're cute and dainty, but I've been seeing arrows for as long as I've been dating my boyfriend without realizing it. Turns out he received his Order of the Arrow, which is a national honor society of the Boy Scouts of America, and it's almost in every photo of him growing up. (He's also an Eagle Scout!)

Obviously something that is very close to his heart, makes it more special for me, so now I have even more of a reason to get an arrow necklace because I'll think of my boyfriend every time I wear it. I've found a few gold favorites that I've been eyeing, but problem is - I love each one! 

Montana Necklace ($450.00) - Jennifer Zeuner
