What Happens When You Mix Yellow & Turquoise?

What happens when you mix Yellow & Turquoise? All kinds of lovely things!  They are the sort of colors that take you somewhere sunny and dreamy.  And for that reason, this is just the kind of color palette that I like to see being used for the Spring and Summer months.  

Who could resist a necklace like this? Three small orange peel roses are the focal point of this exquisite necklace, and they are beautifully paired with orange bombona seeds hand-dyed by Colombian artisans. These beautiful roses are made from discarded orange peel thoroughly cleaned before undergoing one week sun-drying, shaping and dying process without losing their natural aroma.
Take a look at our Orange Peel Collection at www.irmaguzman.com  

This clutch from Mar y Sol brings this palette together in such a way that can only be described as beautiful! 

I couldn't be more in love with these Jimmy Choo swede espadrilles! 

Looking to add a little pizazz to your summer look? This orange peel bracelet is all you need!

So tell me, are you liking the way that these two colors pair up with one another?

Wonders of the Sea

"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonders forever." ~ Jacques Cousteau

White Sea charm bracelet

There's something about the sea that has always captivated me, and I was lucky enough to live by the sea for many years. I really enjoyed those days and I still do when I go to the beach. Everything I know about the sea I learned it from Jacques Cousteau' s documentaries, they were my favorites ...

 

 

White Sea tagua charm bracelet

 

 

I was amazed to see the beauty of the sea life, from the largest creatures, the blue whales, whose beautiful songs travel thousands of miles under the ocean, to the tiny and fragile sea horses. Curiously, males are the ones that get pregnant and deliver their offspring!

 

Not only the sky has stars ... the sea offers a variety of star-shaped animals (starfish) in a variety of colors and sizes! Finally, the survival instinct of the baby sea turtles is really amazing. Watching them struggle out of the nest and make their way to the water is an emotional experience! They have to face everything from driftwood and footprints to crabs and predators. This is so inspiring!

 

Our White Sea charm bracelet is definitely a show-stopper and will ensure you get plenty of compliments!
