summer, fishbowls, sunglasses, jelly beans

It just hit me that it is summer, that I won't have to do any more school work for a while and that all I have time to do now is relax (oh, don't you love that word?). I have so many great expectations for this summer. I am completely overwhelmed. I love that feeling. If I keep talking about all the things I want/plan to do I'll write a whole book here, so I better stop before I extend myself. 

On this post I am wearing a shirt that I love and wear more than you would actually think. This is my go to shirt when I don't know what else to wear in my closet. My favorite part about it is that it looks like a soccer shirt (or at least I think it does, even if my friends say it doesn't) with cutouts on the shoulders. 

I am also wearing a ring that I consider some serious piece of art. It's a little fishbowl with a fish swimming in it and some plants. I was looking for some glass terrariums to decorate my room and instead found ring terrariums and ring fish bowls. All the rings created by Gold Finger look like there is real life inside them. You just can't not fall in love with them.

Check out some of my other favorite rings from the Gold Finger: the mini farm ring here, the hen ring here, and the swimmer ring here. They are so creative and interesting to look at.

On another note, what do you think about my sunglasses?

Warby Parker Meridian Collection

I am always out on the look for good pairs of sunglasses. I may have mentioned this before, but ever since I got my Lasik surgery I find sunlight very overwhelming during the summer. I used to never wear sunglasses until I realized how important they are to keep your eyes healthy.

I don't own many pairs of sunglasses, but when I buy a pair, I like to invest on timeless designs that will last me through the years.

I am really happy to announce that our friends from Warby Parker are launching the limited edition Meridian Collection today June 25th. The collection features three new frames with an Aviator shape, named after their favorite disruptive writers: Frederick Exley, Ellen Raskin, and Flannery O'Connor. I already have my favorite Meridian pair, the Raskin Jet Silver. They are timeless, and the blue lenses add that touch of modernity to them.

 If you live in Boston you can head in to their store in Newbury St. and check it out! If you don't, then you can check out their website here to find the location closest to you, or you can see the rest of the collection on their website here.

Let me know what you think of the collection;)

worth checking out!

As promised, I wanted to post some close-up pictures of the sunnies and accessories I wore on this post. I think those pictures didn't do them justice.

The products came in these beautiful wooden boxes and there are some more details to them.

Let's start with the accessories:

I'd like to point out that, I had never seen midi-rings in different colors. I had seen the typical silver and golden ones (which I'm sure you've also seen)... but blue, yellow, red, purple, green, orange, black, and the other colors of the rainbow? I know, that just blew your mind too!

Being the midi-ring geek I've become, I HAD to have them! So, thank you Ricardo for sending me these super cool pieces all the way from Portugal! I couldn't ask for anything else right now. My fingers are more than happy:)

You should definitely check his store out. He is really talented and makes very unique, out of the ordinary jewelry pieces. Plus, who wouldn't want to buy jewelry that comes in a cute tiny box to store? Oh, and the store is called Tiny Box by the way.

Now, on to the sunglasses:

Speaking of unique and out of the ordinary. Have you seen engraved and personalized sunglasses before? Because, I haven't! 

These hotties come into a case of their own too, with a cleaning cloth, and just the fact that you can add some sort of personalization to them makes them extra milky!

I find myself constantly talking about how much I hate wearing products with gigantic labels or brand names on them. It makes me feel like I'm a walking advertisement. Delirious calls them "products of idolatrous design" on the brand's vision, which I find super interesting and worth a read.

Delirious hand-crafts its sunglasses and cases, and the products are also limited edition, so if you get your hands on them you'll know it'll be really hard to see someone else with the same pair.

I love both of these stores and really wanted to take the time to describe how awesome they are. I love unique things. It seems like every time I step out of my house everyone is wearing the same clothes and accessories. Finding original stuff is SO refreshing!
