Life Changing Summer.

It's funny how no matter how good of a planner you think you are a life sometimes jumps at you with more things at once.

 This Summer was a life changing for me while at the same time very different then any other, busy and dynamic both professionally and more so on private level. My priorities definitely changed, but more details about the change in one of my next posts ;)

My boyfriend and I decided to settle in Barcelona where we purchased our first home together and plan to stay here for next three years and possibly also live here after his basketball career ends.  We also decided to furnish our own Summer home in Dubrovnik, an apartment which my boyfriend had for some time now and which was just sitting unfurnished for years. This was the dynamic part of Summer where I spent most of the time chasing the workers who were pre-paid to work on the apartment to actually come and work. Needless to say, Dubrovnik apartment is still not done and they promised to have it done by end of (last) June.
I used the opportunity of spending the Summer in Dubrovnik to collaborate with some Croatian designers and crafters. One of them called  Kreativni Nered  (in translation Creative Mess) made me a gorgeous needle stitched white crown featured in this post alongside of my favorite Summer boho vintage lace dress from Spell Design.





The City of Dubrovnik and surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous so it wasn't hard to find a great shooting location. My friend Armina suggested Arboretum Trsteno, gorgeous small botanical garden where Game of Thrones was filmed close to the beach with breathtaking views and untouched nature. Arboretum Trsteno is known by it's natural beauty and the 500-year old giant natural monuments - Asian plane-trees. 



One can easily get there in some 20 minutes by one of the regular buses connecting Dubrovnik with the Dubrovnik coast land. Trsteno boasts the15th century renaissance summer residence of Gučetić-Gozze family, with its garden which has been cultivated from the 15th century until today. The garden encompassing the summer residence, aqueduct, mill, the fountain with Neptune and nymphs and the belvedere pavilion overlooking the sea and islands is the finest example of Dubrovnik summer residence garden architecture.


How was your Summer ladies?
Are you well rested and ready for a new back to work season?

Aristocrazy Spring/Summer 2015. Jewelry Collection.

I wrote about Aristocrazy last year when they launched Game of Thrones ring collection which still remains in their portfolio due to popular demand.

Aristocrazy is a 'baby brand' of well known historic Spanish luxury jewelry house Suarez which has a rich heritage with three family generations of 100% high end jewelry making.

"Aristocrazy belongs to a family line of jewelers whose recognized prestige and tradition go back to 1940"


The new brand has over 50 sales locations in Spain and 18 in other countries like Mexico, Portugal, Guatemala, Aruba and Portugal with further expanding within EU, Latin America and Middle East. 
Last week I was invited to preview Aristocrazy Spring/Summer 2015. jewelry collection at their gorgeous store at the very main shopping street in Barcelona (Passeo de Gracia). I went there with my dear friend, blogger and a journalist Lorena Vilanova behind gorgeous blog The Stylistbook.


The part of SS 15' collection which left the biggest impact on me was definitely Savage Collection inspired by animals. As you can see below I tried out a gator ring and a snake necklace.

Spring/Summer 2015. selection also includes the Basics Collection, Tubogas, Malla,  Knot, Retro, Collection a Trois, Stones, Elua and Savage Collections. Trendy 2.0 lines are also: Adventurine, SIlver Jungle, J-Code, Lights and more affordable Fun Collection. The brand also carries watches and diamond collections.







Aristocrazy is showing their luxurious line at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid.


After being introduced to Aristocrazy, no other costume jewelry brand will do it for me! Not only the brand has a great quality and affordable price pieces but also very luxurious looking and one piece is enough to bedazzle your daily outfit!

What is your experience with Aristocrazy line jewelry?

Game of Thrones inspired jewelry.


Photo source:    www.artistocrazy.com 

First, I need to tell you how I started watching Game of Thrones earlier this year. My boyfriend is generally reading a lot of books and watching a couple of TV shows such as Suits and Game of Thrones religiously. Earlier this year when there was a break in between seasons of Game of Thrones he persuaded me that he thinks I would really love the series and if I would like to watch all of the already aired episodes with him again starting from the first one. So I did.

At first, the show was a bit to bloody for me, in general I am not a huge fan of this genre, neither I am a fan of the way most female characters are treated but I was intrigued by the family stories behind it, really loved some strong female characters (grandma is my #1 favorite character :)) and shocked by the overall developments. In short, I got hooked. After all, we all have a guilty pleasures. For me so far it was only a chic-lit & tons and tons of fashion magazines. :)

After I caught up with all the episodes of Game of Thrones, animal characters on jewelry got a whole new meaning for me, each animal reminded me of a particular family in the show (as if I wasn't geeky enough) so I got inspired to write this post for other GOT fans out there who are also a true fashionistas! :)

Last week, here in Barcelona jewelry brand    Aristocrazy (brand name totally suited to what is going on in GOT :)) opened their store at Paseo de Gracia where one can also buy this    Game of Thrones exclusive collection. 


I already have a couple of pairs of earrings and a necklace from Aristocrazy and wear them often, now when the store is so close to me I will have to go and get my GOT ring as well! It surely won't be Lanister ;)

Which of the GOT rings would you wear? :)
