If we love jewelry with a story, you can imagine our sentiment towards a house that boasts more than two hundred and thirty five years of emperors, queens, popes, and tycoons, simply anybody who has ever been somebody. Great originality, opulence and beauty dominate each design. Every piece transmits the incredible amount of labor and detail that goes into it, and it manages to humble the spectator as it empowers the bearer. Continue reading “Discovering Chaumet”
Nothing says < Good style doesn’t have to be complicated> like a bell sleeve top, its movement automatically sends off a cool signal. No need for a splash of color or print, the mere presence of a few extra inches of textile at the end of a sleeve can and go a long way, especially when leather is involved. Continue reading “Outfit Bells”
We can’t remember the day you crept into our digital lives but we welcomed you.
Today, we write to you because unlike Father Christmas, we are certain that you will be paying us a visit more than once a year.
For starters, we would like to thank you.
Three days to Christmas Eve and you are still wondering what to get your sister, best friend, entire family? No worries, Christmas procrastinators will be rescued by the latest shopping experience: Feel22.com
They can literally save your Christmas. How? We’ll keep it short so you can directly start browsing:
We all have that one friend, the one you do not see very often, sometimes for years, but when you do, you just pick up right where you left off. It takes a split second after meeting them again to clearly remember why you love them. The connection is evident, and you wonder why they are not part of your everyday life.
At times, we get the same feeling when it comes to products. Continue reading “FAB SAMOA”
It was back in 2011. We were heading towards Reina Sofia Musem, because if you are in Madrid you just have to immerse yourself in the Golden Triangle of Art and your trickiest choice will be which of the three museums to walk to first.
We knew that Picasso and Dalí were waiting for us, and how not, Spain’s two greatest. But how were we to expect that Yayoi Kusama was visiting all the way from Japan?
We knew that Picasso and Dalí were waiting for us, and how not, Spain’s two greatest. But how were we to expect that Yayoi Kusama was visiting all the way from Japan? We just walked into a room filled with polka dots and that’s all it took. We had been relishing pop art without knowing she was one of its predecessors, influencing the likes of Andy Warhol. She has an obsession with dots and repetition. Among all the vibrant art, we enjoyed the interactive installation Fireflies in the Mirrors where you effortlessly become an ultimate performer in her art. Continue reading “Yayoi Kusama”
And we are back at it! This time we are showing you how to create the highly coveted ballerinas that Miu Miu launched this year. You sure can buy the original design, or Zara’s multiple replicas (we’ve bought a couple already) but once you start transforming things yourself you will realize that building something with your hands grants you a satisfying feeling a store-bought item won’t. Contrary to popular believe, DIY is not always about saving money. It is about the effort, the sense of completion and personal touch. And you can always tell someone after they’ve complimented it that you did it yourself! Continue reading “DIY Miu Miu Flats”
There was a time when ruffles were typically reserved for special occasions. Their imposing nature directly elevated any outfit a few notches up and a special event had to happen in order for them to exit the closet. Thankfully, we’ve come to the realization that a special day does not determine the worthiness of an outfit, but an outfit is what makes the day exceptional. Continue reading “Global Realization”
When you truly love accessories, the likelihood of finding one single piece that defines you is kind of low. You befriend rings, earrings, shoes, and you know that your relationship will last as long as the piece itself and at times it will transcend its life as you will still keep it in your closet, despite being tarnished, broken or out of trend, just for old times’ sake. Continue reading “Accessories Matter”
While you read this, take a look at your hands for a second. Grab the earrings you are wearing or touch the necklace dangling from your neck. You are touching stories, stories only you can tell. It starts from the moment you buy or receive each piece and it never quite ends, because anecdotes and memories keep on adding up and shaping the tale as you wear it day after day.This exact notion combined with our passion for jewelry (we have been making it for over 9 years) and the stories we share here (when we travel and when we stay), gave way to R I W A Y A.
