Monies Necklaces

When I visited family and friends during this holy month of Ramadan, the first thing I noticed was how people accessorized their caftans, and specifically who wore the most beautiful big ol’ baubles around their necks. Some were... eh... and some were ah-may-zinggg! And for some reason I was always more drawn to the type of necklace that literally weighs you down!

The past year I can safely say that I managed to collect unreasonably sized necklaces in my arsenal thanks to Danish jewelry brand Monies. I first discovered the brand last year during my trip to Istanbul and now I can't seem to have enough of this brand. Luckily for me, or maybe unluckily, Nass Boutique stocks Monies. They're the kind of pieces that set themselves apart because of their uniqueness. 

According to their site, Monies was founded by Gerda and Nikolai Monies, who have turned over 40 years of experience into an elegant, avant-garde line, produced in the beautiful workshop overlooking Copenhagen's Harbour. They work with materials such as petrified wood, fossils, precious stones, shells, coconut, amber, coral cowhorn, copper, stones from danish beaches and 24 Karat Gold from greenland.

I passed by Nass Boutique the other day to check out their new arrivals of Monies, and I ended up buying two necklaces, my poor bank account. I fell in love with the golden multistrings necklace in black leather with oval-shaped maxi beads. Scroll down to view more of what's available at Nass.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
