Getting in touch with your masculine side

There are days when even the girliest of us just want to set aside the dresses and heels in favour of some more masculine alternatives. For those days, every lady needs a few menswear (or menswear-inspired) pieces.

I love woodsman.

Specifically, I have a big crush on lumberjacks. They are strong, bearded and look great in plaid!

I honestly don't know any lumberjacks but am not opposed to meeting any! This post is *inspired* by those burly woodsman.

Sweet Tooth?


Halloween is sweet
But be warned
if you don't take care of your pearly whites
you will be visiting your dentist
with seriously unhappy teeth like I have too!
Oh the PAIN!

Win This Locket!

My name is Ana and I live in La Coruna, a beautiful city surrounded by the sea in the northwest of Spain.

I want to introduce you my Etsy shop named "Momochas" . I create romantic inspired jewelry made of polymer clay and usually combined with different elements like lace. I love the romantic and mysterious feel that a delicate and beautiful lace can give to a piece. I make different pieces of jewelry from rings to earrings or pendants. Now I´m working on a new collection of headbands and hair pins too. I love to explore and try different ideas. I think that´s the most enjoyable part of selling handmade!.






My main influence comes from nature. I think it is the greatest artistic and creative expression that can be observed. There is nothing that can compare with the colors, shapes, textures and details found in nature. Art and spectacle shown in the most captivating and simple way you can imagine.





My creations begin as a need, the externalization of a feeling, an idea ... I’m usually completely devoted to each piece until it is finished, ensuring that I capture the initial inspiration that led me to it, and to make each one reflecting a story, a different atmosphere and concept.





All my work is made with a lot of care and dedication, taking special attention to all the details. I´m very perfectionist and I can´t help to repeat things until I get them the way that I imagined (sometimes I even annoy myself because of this, but I have to live with it, lol) . My main goal is to make special products that become special too for the person who is going to buy them, and this point is definitively a great way to enjoy my work.






I want to thank Chelsea for giving me the chance to sponsor this giveaway and for sharing with all of us her inspirations, finds and thoughts through this lovely blog and specially for letting me share with all of you my passion for creating.
