Once you step out in this world with a heart wide open, that's when magic steps into your life. That's when you can change your inner energy and external vibrations.

I don't know where these first lines come from. Did I read it somewhere or it's just something that I formed myself. But it's what I actually somehow discovered over this month. So many beautiful, unexpected and amazing things have been taking place lately. Though I do clearly understand that it's mainly due to the inner work, decisions and discoveries that I've made about myself and for myself so far. 

You know, the phrase that my friend's friend said to me back in December keeps coming back to me from time to time. She said that when she saw me at her event an immediate thought that some sort of transformation is happening to me popped up in her mind. And I wasn't even surprised by her words. It was rather the fact that she noticed it. She felt it. 

I also am over the moon with the series of photos we made last Sunday with my beloved Victoria and Sofia - the beautiful creative duo of sisters. These pictures show me exactly the way I see myself. It's all about natural beauty, being yourself, style, art and Gustav Klimt inspired jewellery set.

Was it in that previous blog post from December that I promised to tell you my story behind the set? FREYWILLE's Gustav Klimt Homage collection Nixe was the first one that I fell in love with when joined the Austrian jewellery house. The rhodium-palladium plated Nixe Aqua caught my eye straightaway. The white coating and shades of blue look really stunning together. It was later on that Nixe in black-white-grey fire enamel and 24 KT gold plated started to seem more of my kind of combination.

Though my last, and still the best, choice fell on the rhodium-palladium coating and black-white-grey fire enamel. That is the Nixe jewellery set I could see myself wearing for absolutely any occasion. 

And just in case you want to know more details behind FREYWILLE's Nixe collection, then check out this blog post.

One of those must-visit places when in London.

Since I've joined FREYWILLE my interest in art has literally skyrocketed. Don't get me wrong, I've been interested in art and moved by it before as well, I've always loved visiting galleries and museums for a chance to soak up as much inspiration and impression of each and every single painting.

But now during this London visit I wanted to see the paintings that our FREYWILLE designers got inspired by to create stunning Homages to Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh - namely Monet's Water-Lilies and The Water-Lily Pond, as well as Van Gogh's A Wheatfield with Cypreses and Sunflowers. Unexpectedly, the one that moved me the most was actually A Wheatfield with Cypreses. I would rather call myself a Monet kind of woman rather than the Van Gogh one. But the whole combination of colours and brush strokes is just so thrilling! 

Having said all that, I can't help noticing the overall atmosphere of The National Gallery. every single painting, every single room, every single square meter is impregnated with that vibe of pure art. And, yes, the in-gallery shop is simply another space where one can spend hours deciding which book to get. This time my choice fell on the Understanding Art by Stephen Little and Klimt by Angela Wenzel.

And how could I immerse myself into this art-full journey without some FREYWILLE pieces? This Homage Gustav Klimt set from collection Nixe in rhodium-palladium coating is my top favourite. But the separate blog post with my story behind this set is coming. Though already in 2023.

Even after all these years apart, this place still feels like home...

After those hectic and strange months I felt like having an escape from our little Eastern European city of Riga. And, of course, my first choice of destination was one and only - London. Place that used to be my home ages ago. Place that I loved with all my heart. And place I was actually afraid to come back to. Decision to leave back in Summer 2014 was unexpected one, even for my own self. 

But at some point this year I just felt that urge for Christmas London with all its street decoration, beautifuly designed shop windows and so on. Plus it was also high time to have a reunion with my dearest friend Liga, who I literally accidentaly met in London back in Autumn 2013 and with whom we share so many beautiful and funny memories about this town.

As I said above, my initial idea was to experience Christmas London again. I was thinking that I would be walking around and taking pictures of all the stunning festive decorations of boutiques and shopping centers. In reality, turned out what I actually wanted was London itself with its unique vibe. The vibe that I've been missing.

To say that I lost it when me and Liga got off the Stansted Express at Liverpool Street Station and went around Spitalfields Market area, where we used to live back in the days, is to literally say nothing. I was running around, taking pics and videos and almost burst into tears as I felt so emotional that very moment.

Oh yes, one of the main highlights of this short London escape was Harrods that's been taken over by Dior this Festive season. The exterior decorations, the windows, the whole concept... In my opinion, it's just a match made in heaven. And I had a chance to see it all with my own eyes. Pure perfection. 

The second highlight I would love to share is the visit to The National Gallery. But, well, it deserves to be posted and talked about separately. So just wait for that second blog post.

Is it just me or time actually does fly like crazy? It's been just six months since my birthday but right now it feels like ages ago. 

I know I already talked about these changes in my life during the last year in that previous blog post. But again, it all just feels a little surreal. Especially from this very point where I'm now. It's Sunday. I just came back from our local Art Museum Riga Bourse where I spent quite few hours checking Asian and European Art Galleries, as well as Roerich Painting Gallery... funny but I actually found this blog post from 2018 when I visited this museum and even posted something about it... what a dose of inspiration and emotions I get every single time in this place... amazing. Simply amazing.

So, yes, it's Sunday. The first Sunday of Advent. I invited my mum to join me on that museum visit, after which we decided to indulge a cup of cocoa in a quiet but lovely cafe. I decided to go for a pretty natural look without any eye-make-up at all. And it all just felt it all felt so good and so me.

Moreover, I'm enjoying every single moment of my life. I am in the right place, surrounded by beautiful and inspiring people, and doing things that ignite the spark both in my mind and heart. I am simply thankful. 

I would like to finish the unexpected blog post with gratitude to my multi-talented friend Victoria, who made these great photos of me back in April. There's just something really special about it. Simple, clean and charming - I still can't get over this set.

A totally unexpected turn in life is actually the sort of stuff we can't predict, right? Especially, when the number of such turns increases to 3 in just one year...

To cut a really long story short, these past 12 months were all about pure ups and downs, new opportunities and heartbreaking choices. Last November-December, when I bursted out in a series of posts about this and that, I kind of left you on hold with the situation that's been happening in my professional life. Well, it seemed to me that I found a really great place and even got a promotion in March this year... but... the reality is decided to take the path I didn't want to. Plus, having fully experienced the real behind the scenes of that mass-production retail sector here in Baltics I fell deeply into that total burnout thing and had to make the best possible decision - leave.

What about now? I'm simply living my life. And by saying that I mean that I somehow ended up in a company that has nothing really to do with fashion directly, well it's more about luxury jewellery with that touch of pure art, but this job, place, company (pick whatever you find more appropriate), brought me to a totally new level in all terms. I really started enjoying everything I do during the day. It feels like I've entered a totally fresh chapter of my life.

I'm not even going to beat around the bush this time as I am really proud to be part of the FREYWILLE world. So, yes, I am now part of this Austrian gem. And what is more important, this Viennese jewellery brand has that thing that makes it super special - every single collection is inspired by famous artists and their timeless works, as well as culture of this or that country, architecture of this or that city. Isn't it amazing? Plus every single enamel drawing is handmade by in-house masters. Literally now I am writing these lines and keep stopping from time to time to once again study the pure artistic work that's been invested in this bracelet from L'amandier Turquoise collection dedicated to Vincent van Gogh's painting Almond Blossom...

Speaking of the pictures I decided to include within this blog post, it's again about FREYWILLE. But now a silky scarf that is a perfect match for Nixe Aqua jewellery collection inspired by Gustav Klimt's work Water Serpents. Well, if I have to pick my favorite artists-inspiration from FREYWILLE whole range, then it would definitely be a Viennese artist, who got majorly inspired by Art Nouveau - Gustav Klimt. His works are all about that extravagant and luxurious vibe, so are the Hommage collections created by FREYWILLE in-house masters throughout these years. 

When it comes to Nixe collection in general and Klimt's Water Serpents, I totally adore this feeling of female's mystery, sensuality and ode to feminine lines. It's just a huge BRAVO!

And, yes, I couldn't be able to finish this post off without throwing in some lines about my favorite Latvian brand that's all about leather bags and accessories - VASKALA. I just love the style, the quality, the colours... everything... of the brand. Should I mention that currently I have 3 bags by VASKALA in my collection? And I constantly want to add more.

So here we go with that unexpected move, or choice, of mine - red over the knee boots. Or, in general, red boots. Some may consider that it's quite a frivolous piece of footwear. I think that it depends on how you style it. 

For example, here I wanted to create something cozy yet eye-catchy and statement-like. If you look into this outfit deeper, then you'll notice that the sweater and skirt combination bring around these cozy vibes that are just perfect for that end-of-autumn and beginning-of-winter period. 

Plus, it's all about neutral shades that dominate this outfit - black and white - with that statement and powerful piece. I thought that such a color combo is just perfect for that first outfit with these boots. Simple, yet eye-catchy.

Now who would have thought that in Autumn 2021 I will start feeling nostalgia about red color? And who would have thought that I will be back at red colored coat after so many years? Especially, considering the fact that lately I've been moving towards that light feminine vibes and colors, like pale pink and baby blue shades...

True, that was quite long ago when I was sporting my previous red coat from Zara that I was craving to get back in my university years in London. I had owned that coat for quite several years though as I couldn't get enough of it. And it's interesting now for how long this coat will stay in my wardrobe. I would really like to think that for quite long time as I do like this shade of red and the fit of the coat... and, well, because I still stand for that practicality kind of thing.

Speaking of my return to color red, I wish I could open up all my cards straightaway, but I can't. I still need thoughts for one more red color related post. But will say this, I really want to implement as much red in daily wardrobe as possible. It may be an obsession kind of thing, but I would prefer to call it passion for statement pieces.

So, yes, am quite much back at one of my favorite colors and my next move in terms of this color can be quite unexpected. As I didn't expect it from myself. But words aside, let's just wait for it.

Tik Tok, Tik Tok... Can you hear the clock ticking? Big Holiday season 2021 is almost around the corner. It means that it's high time to start preparing our outfits for upcoming Christmas and New Year celebrations! And in this inspiration selection I wanted to come up with just 3 ideas on how to make your outfit look chic, feminine and, well, in some cases even simple.

1. The Dress

Here we don't need much. Simply a dress and a pair of heels, sandals or, maybe, boots. And don't forget that you can go beyond 'traditional' sequined and short dresses. Try this time something more elegant and elongated, like midi or maxi.

 

2. Shiny Top

The second super simple festive outfit idea is all about a shine top and super casual, or take formal, bottom part. For example, sequined top and jeans or silk blouse and trousers. Add up some interesting accessories and you are ready to go!

3. Sequined Skirt

Well, how can we deal without classy festive outfit element as a sequined skirt? Here we can combine it with everything - starting with silky tank tops and ending up with formal blouses and casual jumpers. Just as simple as that!

Half of the last Autumnal month is already behind our backs. And I can't express how happy I am that we are even more closer to the Holiday season! Meanwhile, our little Eastern European country seem to be out of lockdown, finally! But it doesn't seem that we are going to be back to normal, I mean before this whole pandemic thing, just yet.

Anyway, for now it feels so good to walk around in this stunning faux fur coat from Mango that I already told you about in my previous post. I do like how such a statement coat with zebra print can bring around vibes that are quite different. I mean, if in previous story it was all about rock-ish and feminine vibes, then here we have something much more elegant. 

What's up on the agenda for this week? First of all and most important, to get back to that work life regime. As last two weeks I was primarily spending time around home doing near to nothing. And, yes, a big weekend dedicated to the independence of our country is coming. Let's see what it brings us!

Right, I know that it's actually only early November o'clock, but I really am in this anticipation of the most wonderful time of the year. I feel like we just are in need of this Winter magic. Am not sure whether we'll have any sort of festive Christmas decorations around our little Eastern European city of Riga, but at least some fairytale-like snow-y situation would be a great thing.

Meanwhile, I think that this pre-Holiday season period of November and early December is a great time to rock such a stunning faux fur coat. It's actually from Mango, but I found it on our local Latvian resale platform Andele Mandele. So I had pretty much of a great find when it comes to this coat that used to be priced around 170-180 Euro with Mango. Well, I got this pearl way lower that 100 Euro. Okay, it did cost me just 20 Euro. Just like that!

Now speaking about my faux fur hunt at Andele Mandele, I was first searching for something more simple and everyday appropriate... but, Gosh, this zebra print is something! And it perfectly fits my feminine yet chic style aesthetic. Also, I pretty much like the fact that itself this coat is a statement piece. It means that I can simply snuggle up in this faux fur and still rock the streets of the city!

So, yes, we are having this third, or second still, week of our local Latvian lockdown of the late 2021. And it's not going well. Like I mean it. We are literally forced not to work and it is killing me. As I'm still on a probation period I'm experiencing a lot of anxiety these days. But I'm trying to cope with it by means of working out and writing my lovely blog.

And as we are in this lockdown situation and have pretty much nowhere to go, plus it's raining like crazy these past days, so we literally have nowhere to go but spend some quality time at home. Thankfully, my place is fully equipped to get me through this strange and challenging period.

Oh, yes, here are some of my favorite pieces. Like a candelabrum with a candle inside that a friend of mine presented me as a birthday gift this year and a mirror that I ordered from Zara Home back in Spring. I really adore how such little details are able to add charm to interior.   

Should I mention what sort of positive emotions such pieces bring to my heart and mind?
