How to buy online jewelry and fashion jewelry

We agree that it is more fun to sit in front of the computer and decide on our Christmas presents than to walk on the streets wrapped on a scarf and arriving home exhausted.

This does not mean that we have to go shopping in our pyjamas. To buy online can be a shopping experience as attractive as going to Top Shop in London, to the new Uniqlo in Paris or to Prada in Tokyo.

An example: I want to buy necklaces for my friends. And I am going to do it  fully convinced to buy something nice. I will think about the stones that they like, which materials, what kind of life they have, on what occasions they will wear those necklaces… Because all this requires time I need to be at ease. I look for comfortable clothes: a big flannel shirt on top of a pair of leggings, or a man’s sweater, “robbed” from somewhere, on top of a pair of jeans, a cotton dress that I cover with a huge woolen jacquet. Any comfortable piece of cloth but that if anybody comes unexpectedly to visit you, you will not feel in panic.

So we now have our surfing clothes. For sure that now, because of the cold weather, we feel like having a drink while we are shopping for fashion jewelry for our friends. The perfect drink to have while buying online is tea. It is healthy, delicious, always inspires “warmth”. I love tea from Mariege Frères, reputed to be the best tea in the world. Even though they are from Paris, very much from Paris, we can also find them in Spain.

And what else do we need? May be some music. The great jazz women never let us down, so we open Spotify and we look for Sarah Vaughan. That’s it. We have the perfect ambiance. An afternoon of shopping.

PICK OF THE WEEK

Short necklace, Aros collection from Nadia Rabosio

You will like it if you like: the mixture of textures and materials. In this necklace, silver is combined with lava stone and the effect of silver with black works very well.

For women: who are not very timid; it is for sure that everybody will look at this necklace.

You can wear them with: any dress that you will use those holidays. With a  silk top low-necked and a knot at the waist.

Why do we choose it: because it is one of the few accessories that you can mix with others of the same collection (like bracelets) without looking exaggerated. And because it is a limited edition.
