Moonstone rings, my new passion!

Hello lovelies!

In today's post I'd like to tell you all about my recent love when talking about jewellery and jewellery trends! Moonstone rings have been my current obsession :-)
I just love how pretty this stone is and how elegant it looks on fingers!
It's also said to have healing properties, so let's see what did I find out about it...

"...This dreamy, ethereal stone that channels the moon, a force that has the power to push and pull the tides of our great oceans and your emotions. Keep Moonstone close by and feel the glow of the moonlight infusing your chakras with its brilliant white light. If you're facing issues of stability, whether it's emotional or otherwise, the Moonstone crystal meaning reminds us of the night sky and its steady and reliable cycle of darkness giving way to light..."

"...The Moonstone crystal meaning is associated with the inner goddess, a symbol of fertility and sensuality. The life-giving feminine figure is an empowering visualization that gives us the gift of increased intuition, the perfect prescription for cleansing the mind of negative emotions holding you back..."


That being said, moonstone jewellery isn't just a trendy piece, but it is also a perfect as an engagement gift. It represents a very nourishing, sensual, deeply feminine energy that knows how to heal and bring you back to wholeness. It is the stone of the mother moon, deep healing waters, and sacred feminine energies.

Rose gold moonstone engagement ring is such a beautiful jewellery piece, and here are just a  few of my favourite designs:








These are just a few of my faves, and I love them because the design is simple, they're dainty and feminine, and at the same time staccable, so you can pair them with your other rings as you prefer.

All these rings are made to order, and handmade in the United States. If you have your own design, just send it to the company and they'll custom make it for you!

Rose gold moissanite engagement ring is another option for whoever loves sparkly and brilliant jewellery! 
Here's a little info about this sparkly gemstone:

"...It's a gemstone born from the stars. It was first discovered in 1893 by a French scientist named Henri Moissan, who later won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He discovered microscopic particles of the gem that would eventually bear his name in Arizona, in a crater created by a meteorite that fell to Earth. He initially thought that he had discovered diamonds, but later determined that the crystals were composed of silicon carbide..."

Moissanite is a more affordable version of diamonds, but it's still very durable and it reflects light beautifully.
Here are some beautiful examples:









These are all very pretty rings; ideal for engagement, anniversary, or other similar special occasions.


Then, there is rose gold morganite engagement ring , perhaps it's the most admired gem from this family of gemstones due to its tender light colour.
It is a rarely found semi precious gemstone.

Let's see what does this stone stand for...

"...It brings healing, compassion, assurance and promise. With its gentle pink energy, morganite attunes to the heart and the Heart Chakra. It cleanses the emotional body of stress and anxiety, old wounds and hidden traumas, and enkindles lightness within the spirit, as if a burden has been lifted..."

It does come with a special meaning and it's certainly appropriate as an engagement gift.

Here are a few of my personal favourite models:









These are all exquisite pieces, but to be honest with you, my current obsession & personal favourites are definitely the moonstone rings!
How about yours?
Leave me your comments, which one of these rings would you like to see on your finger? ;-)

5 Beauty Essentials to Pack in Your Travel Bag



Hello beauties!
As I've mentioned in my previous post, my summer vacations are already over and I can't help but wonder how the time flew by so fast?!!
Anyway, I'm back to my everyday routine now, but I wanted to write about what I packed in my suitcase (I have to mention, I had a limited space, now that I had my little boy's things to pack as well).


I only wanted to bring my most loved items that I knew I'll use frequently and that will really serve its purpose. I do have some beauty items in my home in Croatia, so I didn't need to carry EVERYTHING, but here are some items that definitely needed to find their place in my suitcase!




VICTORIA'S SECRET BODY MIST


I always replace my usual perfume with these body mists because they're ideal for summertime! I spray them even before going to the beach. My fave scents are "Amber Romance" (amber and creme anglaise), a very refreshing formula infused with conditioning Aloe Vera and calming Chamomile. I also love "Love Spell" which smells of cherry blossom & peach.




Bioderma Hydrabio H2O Micellar Cleansing Water and Makeup Remover Solution for Dehydrated or Sensitive Skin

I really like this Hydrabio hydrating version for dry skin. It's very effective even on eye makeup. I like to carry this travel size version as it's more compact and 100ml are just about enough for my entire holiday (considering that I don't even wear that much makeup, especially on holiday!)




DIORSKIN Shimmer Powder in 002 Amber Diamond, one of my fave highlighter of all times!


I adore the fact that it's so multifuncional, I can even use it as eyeshadows! I think I don't even need to bring my eyeshadow palette since I'm packing this little gem.




Tired mom problems anyone?
Yes, that would be me! I'm experiencing a serious lack of sleep (it is getting a bit better now, as my little one grows, he does sleep better during the night) and these two products by SHISEIDO are miracle workers!!!
From Shiseido Benefiance I'd like to point out to Wrinkle Resist 24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye MaskSeriously expensive, but also effective! As they have such a high price point, I'm trying to use them only when my under eye area looks really tired.
Also great, and more affordable product, is from Shiseido Ibuki line, this Quick Fix Mist that you can apply at any point during the day to freshen up your skin and give it a boost of hydration.


Both products are ideal for dry and thirsty skin!




Last but not least, is this ultra hydrating and replumping lip balm by BIOTHERMI discovered it a couple of months ago and I don't want to be without it ever again! It's quickly become one of my most used and most loved beauty products. I have finally found a replacement for an old fave of mine that was discontinued, and it was by Vichy. I think this might just be it! I'm pretty sure the formula is very similar, if not the same.


Let me know what were yours beauty favorites this summer?

I'm back from my summer vacations, but summer isn't over just yet!

Hey guys,

The title says it all: I was MIA because I was away on my summer vacations.
We took a little family trip to Croatia. I thought I'd still manage to find time to squeeze in a post or two, but I was wrong! My little one requires even more attention as he grows and my days were full!
Anyhow, we managed to relax as a family and visit some cool places, which I'll tell you more about in my upcoming posts.

Luckily, the summer isn't over yet, so I can still share with you a quick fashion post about some of my favourite dresses of the season!
In summertime I love to wear dresses as they're so feminine and easy to wear!
Obviously, you can wear dresses all year round, so I already started looking for some cool new arrivals for the upcoming season :-)
Also, summer sales are ideal period to pick up a piece or two at affordable prices for the next year!

One of my favourite on line stores has nice design dresses and I absolutely love their spetember new fashion picks!


Depending on the occasion, you can choose from a variety of different models that they carry in stock! At first, I was looking at some simple, everyday appropriate dresses, but then I spotted this lovely little number! I just adore the powdery pink skirt teamed with embroided blouse top! It looks so elegant, classy and sophisticated! This is something I'd love to wear for the Fall, even for everyday if I dress it down with denim jacket and sneakers!
Obviosuly this is such an elegant piece, it's ideal for some kind of celebration, party...

Dresssure has got such a vast selection of women dresses as I've already mentioned, for any occasion, shape or size!



This high quality silk dress is another dress that I'm putting on my wish list! I love the quality of the material, as silk feels so great on skin! I'm also in love with these colors and print!
This is another beautiful dress that I'd wear all year round for many different occasions :-)

For this autumn, I'm looking to get some good bodycon dresses and this simple, yet so classy model really caught my attention!



This classic model will never go out of style and will be a staple in your wardrobe; it's definitely a piece that's worth investing in!

These are some of my favourite numbers and I hope this was inspiring to you too!
The great thing about the first two dresses is that you can actually wear them even in this transitional period of time, when it's still hot outside, but then if it gets a bit windy at night, you can easily throw in a layer or two to keep warm.
The third dress is something I'd like to add to my wardrobe for this new season, to freshen up my existing style for autumn/ winter!

Let me know have you already started thinking about renewing your wardrobe for the upcoming season?
