Gold Arrow & Beaded Labradorite Bracelet with Druzy Stone
If you were to describe your style in 2-3 words...what would it be?
Starting this blog has helped me to understand what my personal style really is. What makes us "US" is so inherently woven into all of our decisions that somehow it makes it more challenging to actually SEE it. It wasn't until I started a pinterest board "Classic Naturalist" that I saw the reocurring themes that have resonated with me consistently through most of my life. Have you gone through any similar insights?
It's amazing how little I consciously I knew about my taste. But the exercise of collecting what I like helped me to see the patterns:
* Classic Naturalist *
/ modern elements with character / nature themes
/ texture and warmth / old and new

And if you follow the trail leading up to now, it all starts to make sense.
I guess {exchanging vows} in the canopy of trees was a clue...

and is it a coincidence that the previous owner of our urban home
was a florist with more plants than square footage?...
• • •
leaving me with big shoes to fill in our {garden space}...

This past weekend...taking a much deserved *pamper* day for myself, I headed into a boutique with a fresh manicure looking forward to taking my time looking through the jewelry. I get the same kick out of being in a boutique shop whether it's flowers or fashion. I like to soak it in and take my time looking at every carefully draped piece. Usually the stores I like are not visually overwhleming and they are carefully curated and displayed in a way that is optimal for appreciation. <deep breath>...oh why helloo you...
I love the "hunt" aspect of discovering something I haven't quite seen before and this time it was a a labradorite bracelet from a Cimber, a designer out of Miami. The statement druzy stone, the natural but classic elements...oh there i go again.
