    Indie Style: How to Go for the Gold Without Breaking the Bank

    Gold has enjoyed a comeback in the last few years, but with historically high prices, who can afford to follow the trend? YOU can, if you know how to shop for gold that fits your budget. Gold-plated refers to karat gold over base metal, usually brass. According to Federal Trade Commission regulations, the gold layer must be at least 0.50 microns in thickness, compare that to the width of an average human hair at about 100 microns. This is the least expensive option since it contains the least amount of karat gold. Vermeil (pronounced "ver-MAY") is usually not less than 10kt gold but is more often 18kt or 22kt gold plated over sterling silver. Although one might think that the same standards would apply to vermeil as to gold-plate, since both processes involve electrolytically depositing a layer of gold over another metal, vermeil must actually have a gold layer of not less than 2.5 microns in order to be legitimately sold as vermeil and not as gold-plated silver.

    From the controversy surrounding Nina Garcia's departure from Elle to the sudden shift from Bravo to Lifetime, the Project Runway drama off-screen could be a reality series on its own! There has been lots of talk about what will happen to the show when it switches networks. Heidi Klum sparked some headlines when she dished to Forbes about the show saying "The concept will be the same [but] it will have, definitely, a face-lift. The look of the show will change a little bit." But don't lament the loss of the original formula just yet! Harvey Weinsteinwas at the Peabody Awards yesterday, and when I asked if the show would be getting a 'face-lift' when it moves to Lifetime, he sternly replied: "I don't think so. First of all, we're still doing a season on Bravo, that's next. And there will be no changes on Lifetime. Everybody's united: Michael, Nina, Heidi, Tim. So it's the same show, why tinker with a formula that works?" He went on to expound on said magical formula. "People love the creative process, they love the idea of watching people create and also being able to judge at the same time because we all have an opinion on clothing. I think we all identify with that so I think that's why it works."
