Good Monday: Into the blue

Today I've dreamed about swimming in the sea. The vision was so clear and vivid, that I even could feel the warm waves on my skin and taste the salty drops on my lips. Even though it is still long enough before our happy encounter, I keep on magnetizing the salty water. Recently I've purchased two pieces of jewelry. Both of them with the blue stones of different shades. The first one is a silver pedant with aquamarine by Aloha Gaia.

This light blue timid stone is so fragile. It reminds me of the sea on a rainy gloomy day. So calm, wild and free. I carry a drop of this salty water on my chest.
The second thing is a ring by Monica Vinader with lapis. This stone is deep blue with golden sparkles.

It is more like the sea on a bright sunny day, when the rays of sun leave yellow traces on the waves.

Depending on my mood of the day I can pick either the ring or the pedant.

Have a good Monday and try to see beauty in simple things. And dream about the sea. :)

My Precioussss

I have recently read a book by Isabelle Thomas about the Paris street style. There was one line in it that declared a statement piece of jewelry to be a strong must for any true fashionista. I've pondered over this for a little while and realized that I already have that in my wardrobe. What is more, there are a few of them.
Judging from the point of view of style these things can be of not so famous brands, but for me they all tell a story. Every person has something that cheers their heart no matter what. Something really special that can be of not a big money value  but of priceless meaning to your soul. So here is my modest list of the accessories that I wear constantly.

• cross pedant in yellow gold

This is the most important of all my possessions. I got it from my parents as a present on my school graduation party. The chain belonged to my mom and can be considered as vintage, I guess. :) The cross is simple and very small. I wore it through all these years and barely never take it off. I can not be called very religious. Still, I will never substitute it even with the brightest diamond on Earth.

• three rings set with gemstones

These are the rings by Monica Vinader. They are just a small part of the constantly growing MV family in my wardrobe. I got them as a present and wear nearly every day as they match almost any ensemble. The funny thing about this set of rings is that when I forget to put them on i feel sort of uncomfortable all day :) The gemstones on the rings are: amethyst, chrystopase and citrine.

• dandelion pedant 

My friend gave it to me as a NY present. It is a handmade accessory and it somehow describes my style as well. I tend to balance at the borderline between boho and chic style. The pedant is very smart and tender, but embraces a dandelion which is by no doubt symbolizes hippie attitude to life. What is more Dandelion wine is one of my favourite books. And it is always nice to wear a piece of summer close to your heart.

Sale el sol

The sun is my biggest energizer ever. Nothing brings me to life more like this golden star. That's why probably when I moved to the northern part of the country, where gloomy days are more usual than the bright ones, I started missing its joyful rays. I've never been into gold, preferring silver jewelry. And then I encountered with MonicaVinader rings. I remember where I first saw them and that feeling of craving them. It was then that I realized that I might have found my small substitute for the rays of the sun I was missing. The golden jewelry was so tempting. Now I have my own small collection :) The latest arrival is my New Year present  - a friendship bracelet  - with the engraving from the song Sale el sol and my initials. I hope I'll have more sunny days this year.
