Uno de 50 Autumn/Winter 2015 Collection

If you're looking for statement accessories, look no further than Spanish jewelry label, Uno de 50.

From chunky silver charmers, to this big-ass pearl ring (which I happily brought home with me)...

To Swarovski crystal-ized...

To in-your-face Swarovski-d out bling rings...

Uno de 50 has that, and more.

Their Autumn/Winter 2015 Connection collection in particular, made up of 4 varied but equally inspired lines tell a compelling story.

Designs from the Magic line reflect the light, colour and shimmer of the Northern Lights through blue, green, grey and pink Swarovski Elements crystals. 

The Intimacy line are made up of pieces shaped as keys and hearts of different sizes, rendered in leather and silver-coated metal.

Necklaces from the Vastness line, made entirely of silver-coated metal, have organic shapes that are reminiscent of vegetation capped with snow and ice.

The Forest line consists of nature-inspired elements - "drops of frozen dew, stalactites or pebble stones, as well as other natural elements such as insects or berries and the seeds that precede the arrival of the first snowfalls."

There's a rough-hewn yet gentle quality to Uno de 50 pieces, a free-spirited bohemian vibe that is distinctive and artsy. I can totally see artists, ad agency creatives, and just about anybody who appreciates unique but everyday appropriate pieces to rock these.

Uno de 50 was founded in the late 1990's by a group of designers who decided to establish a brand of fashion jewelry and accessories that would break all existing molds. The brand was called Uno de 50 because they started out with the original philosophy of creating exclusively 50 units of each design, which proved to be an unqualified success. To date, Uno de 50 is in 15 countries, from Spain to Belgium, to Mexico, United States, and now the Philippines (Uno de 50 boutiques are at SM Aura and SM Megamall).

16 Weeks: Red, White & Blue

I am supposed to be staying at home, taking it easy, but I was craving for cobb salad and when Dada suggested we have lunch at Texas Roadhouse Grill, I was game of course! Hee! Here's my lazy weekend outfit, at 16 weeks:

J Brand boyfriend jeans, Façonnable red & white striped top, navy espadrilles - a pasalubong from my friend Sarj when she went to Barcelona 2 or 3 years ago

Paired it with this navy & red Nixon watch from Segnatempo and my navy & gold croc Vita Fede bangle

Chic Kicks for Kids: Cienta Shoes

Sure, I love French style, but I like Spanish style too! One of my favorite bloggers is Mireia Oller of My Daily Style from Spain, and I like how, in my mom's native Laguna parlance, "posteriosa" (fashionable and done-up) Spanish women are. Plus hey, don't we all love Zara? I also love Hoss Intropia, Bimba y Lola and oooh!, alpargatas in a rainbow of colors!

 

Moms like me can add Cienta shoes to our list of Spanish staples. Cienta is a line of shoes that are designed and manufactured in Spain. Not only do they come in classic styles in practical colors that will go with a lot of your little ones's clothes, these shoes are guaranteed to promote and conform to the natural development of a child's feet. They are priced well too! Ranging from Php1200 to Php1500 a pair.

Here are some styles for the boys:

And some more for the girls:
