Fabulous in Blue – Necklace

[tab title=”Inspiration”]

This is not the first (or the last time) that I make a necklace inspired by one of my sweet-tooth’s favorite treats at any wedding or birthday party: BEAUTIFUL CAKES!  You may recall the “Dulzura Necklace“, which was a tribute to the amazing pastry Artists behind these delicious pieces of Art, (yes, Artists in their own right!).

 

However the fall-inspired colors (blue, neon green and purple) and the simplicity and character were specifically inspired by YOU. Yes, you beautiful women of the 21st century.

 

Rebecca, the stunning model for this photo-shoot is one of the amazing women that embodies the fabulousness of what it is to be a woman in the 21st century.    I’m not implying that our fabulous life as women is easy. I dare to say it is more challenging than ever before! However, like never before as well, we are surrounded by amazing examples of what we are capable of,  exactly when we need to be reminded of our inner-power in those moments of distress, self-doubt or self-criticism … all the time!

 

When I asked Becky to model for me (something she has never done before), I did so with the intention of conveying something very common yet overlooked in our own lives as women among women:  So many times we look for inspiration in well known authors/speakers, celebrities, or anyone who meets the criteria of being “famous“.  We tend to overlook and rarely celebrate the amazing women that are part of our own reality: OUR girlfriends, sisters, daughters, mothers, colleagues or neighbors. Women who might not be famous, but “walk the talk” every day of their lives.

 

By looking at the pictures alone you would probably not guess that Becky is a full-time working-mom, not of one, but TWO BEAUTIFUL little girls, an incredibly loving wife, a hardworking Manager, an unconditional friend, sister and daughter, and the “rock” of her family. She is the first one to get up in the morning to get her girls ready for school, the last one to close hear eyes,  and always “there” for her girls in the middle of the night when one of them has a nightmare or just needs a cuddle.

 

Yes. We women are fabulous, and the more we embrace and love each other, the better we become as women in our own individual paths of life.

 

Much love dear friend,

[tab title=”About our Model”]

I’m so lucky to call Becky one of my absolute best friends in life.  We don’t see each other as often as we would like, but every time we connect it feels as comforting, genuine and peaceful as ever.

 

The first time we met was after our now-husbands set up a couples-date to get to know each other.  I don’t recall the details of our first-ever conversation, but I remember clearly the “feeling” I had after meeting her: As if we were life-long friends who had just connected again. Oh! And I remember Becky’s eyes. She has beautiful eyes. They are the windows to her Soul. Open, loving Soul.

 

I looooved having this shoot with my friend. She is so beautiful inside and out, and I am very excited to have captured that through the lenses of my camera and share this beautiful person with all of you.

Much love,
