Martasand A Night At The Arlington County Fair Funnel cakes, cotton candy and sugary lemonade are just a few reasons why we look forward to the county fair each year. It’s a time where we can throw our inhibitions out the window and indulge in all of the gluttony surrounding us. Living in walking distance of the Arlington County Fair makes it almost a cardinal sin not to visit the local staple on an annual basis. We started off with a fresh squeezed lemonade from the vintage-esque stand, it gave us just the sugar rush we were looking for and we were off to test the rides and games. We battled it out at the water game but Michelle walked away the winner toting a scary looking furry stuffed animal (which made Sarah feel better about losing). We rode the […]

Carré Jewelry Feature & Giveaway

Michelle Martin — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 11:30:29 +0000

We are so excited to be one of the first in the US to feature a new favorite jewelry designer of ours plus a GIVEAWAY! Carré Jewellery, created in 1991 and based in Copenhagen is about to launch right here in the red, white and blue and we had the amazing opportunity to view the collections in person. Both of us picked our favorite pieces from the collection and styled them in our last outfit posts. Check them out here if you missed it! Michelle & Sarah We love how feminine these pieces are but the simplicity of the designs allow them to mix and match to any personality and style. Shiri Haugbøl, the founder and creator behind the magic, “feels passionately that jewellery speaks for itself in its own characteristic and individual way, respecting the natural structure of precious stones.” Their jewelry is infused with genuine pearls and precious stones, which are inherently unique. Which means no two pieces are alike. Each piece is exclusively made using precious metals: 10 and 18 carat gold, oxidized sterling silver and 23 carat gold-plated sterling silver. We love this line because there is really something for everyone with a variety of price points. Carré is the classic term for […]

The Evil Eye: More than just Jewelry

Michelle Martin — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 10:51:53 +0000

Since I was little I have always been fascinated with Greek mythology – mythical gods who ruled the world and used the Greek islands as their play grounds. Each story has a meaning or lesson, many of which I carry with me to this day. Naturally I was obsessed with the the Evil Eye pieces that I found from Carré Jewelry. The concept of the evil eye is widespread in Mediterranean countries, with its roots planted in ancient Greece. The purpose of the evil eye symbol, also known as the matiasma, is to ward off the effects of the evil eye. To “fight fire with fire” basically if ever an evil eye may fall on to you… I hope I’m covered in this department with the matching Lady Luck necklace and bracelet! Dress: Elizabeth & James; Vest: Helmut Lang (Old Similar Here); Bag: Mulberry (Old Similar Here); Necklace: Carré, Marrin Costello; Body Chain: Marrin Costello; Bracelet: Carré; Ring: Carré; Shoes: Sigerson Morrison Belle (Old Similar Here). xoxo, Michelle
