Acne's Wham Mohair Sweater

In the North East, having warm, cozy knitwear during the colder months is essential for staying warm and having a variety of sweaters/cardigans/etc. is essential for preventing total wardrobe boredom. That being said, if you are not careful, you will end up buying sweaters that you do not actually like or that are not actually that warm. In my opinion, Acne makes some of the best knits. They are of high quality, warm, and they work season after season.

This is Acne's Wham mohair sweater in grey melange, which is kind of my favorite shade of grey. I like the way it looks with my new coral headphones from Urbanears, the aquamarine of my bracelet, and the black leather from my Gucci wallet. Honestly, I like the way it looks with mostly every color...

Happy Sunday!

Pink LA

I love all of the pale pink buildings in Los Angeles.
They make me think of Rose Quartz and Cherry Quartz gemstones.

Really, I love all of the pastel colored buildings in Los Angeles...

Either way,
Happy Thursday!

Another Isabel Marant look for less...from American Eagle (has this store always had such Boho, Marant-ish things?). This time it is Isabel Marant's Alexia Embroidered Top vs. American Eagle's Studded Boho Top, both of which are on sale right now. The AE one is 100% cotton, lightweight, and perfect for summer!

Also! On my wrist I am wearing a bracelet from my Etsy shop made out of matte amazonite gemstone beads, light pink Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. I hope you like it!
I hope everyone had a lovely Sunday!

Amethyst, Amazonite, Snow Quartz

Amethyst, Amazonite and Snow Quartz gemstones look so lovely when layered together, don't you think? It makes me smile to look down at my wrists and see them. And despite the fact that I do not use the gemstones for their healing purposes, I enjoy learning about their meanings as well. Sometimes, without thinking about it, I will layer strands of gemstones that have similar or common themes and it makes me wonder if I am unconsciously trying to tell myself something? Here are the meanings behind my gemstone combination from a couple of days ago :

• Although Amethyst is believed to have many different meanings and uses, all can agree that this gemstone from quartz family protects a person from poisons and seduction. The word Amethyst is of Greek origin and literally means 'not intoxicated'. The stone is a symbol of power, protection, healing, wisdom, and piety. It is used to heal headaches, fight insomnia, create calmness within the home, as well as heal negativity in the home.
• Amazonite, sometimes referred to as the lucky 'hope stone', helps balance emotions (as well as feminine and masculine energies) and it promotes kindness and practicality. It is also said to be a stone for artists.
• Snow Quartz, also known as The Observation Stone, makes one have a more childlike or innocent perspective. It is a balancing stone and can be used as a dream stone as well.

I hope you all have a lovely Friday!
