Tribute to the exceptional women

"Fall seven times, stand up eight".  ~ Japanese Proverb

Nathalie and Paola, you can feel LIFE by looking at them!

This is not a feminist post where men will feel like they should have never born or anything like that... This post is dedicated to all those women who know what falling in life means, who fight every day to make their dreams come true and find their strength from within themselves. This is what Uzume Spirit philosophy is based about.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to meet Paola Limonta, Managing Director of Uzume Spirit. I could feel this positive, motivating and friendly vibe just by looking at her. Smiling, kind, close, we grabbed some coffee at the trendy BG café in town... It was more than an interview, it was talking to a friend, exchanging our points of view in life, and learning about  how two different generations fight for a common reason: the desire to succeed and be happy in life.

Women with the Nobel Price Laureat Tribute

One of my favorite... Indian Women tribute

The Uzume team is made by Nathalie, creative jeweler, and Paola, manager, translator and visual artist. They combined both backgrounds so they could offer what today is called Uzume Spirit. The main objective of their collections is to pay tribute to women who, in the past as well as in the present, inspire us with their legacy. Their "12Femmes d'Exception Collection" for example. Audrey, Marie, Sampat Pal, Aung San, Cléopatre, Simone... Their creations relate the personality, quality and strength of these women, whose names are engraved on their creations as a sign of gratitude. 

Bracelet entirely made of silver: engraved medallion, little chain and clasp.

A tribute to Audrey Hepburn: American actress, muse of Givenchy and Goodwill Ambassador for Unicef.

I consider myself a total devoted to the Indian community, I work with Fundación Vicente Ferrer in Anantapur helping them develop their children and women based projects. Therefore, I was happily surprised when Paola told me their work with India is also very strong as they created the "Sautoir en Onyx" printing the Indian women names who struggle for the Indian women rights.

Innovative, pioneer, contemporain... Uzume Spirit has something for all of us: Inspiring, Motivating, but also Revealing! I love their "Bracelets Coquins....they come with a code that links you to an erotic novel you can read in their site... Why not? It's all about "Grey" anyway right? 

Also, the tribute to the exceptional women can be made with their bags and other accessories!

Building my "home sweet home" with Maja De Silva

Pictures: Source. 

"Home Sweet Home" ... true, you always feel more comfortable and at ease when you are at your own home! But what if you have to live abroad for a while? Will you find your comfortable place at a hotel room or "aparthotel"? I recently met Maja de Silva, Interiors and Art designer, who knows everything about "making you feel like at home" even if it's just temporary. 

Maja de Silva. Interior Art Designer

You end your journey and you only dream about one thing (a part from the nice rosé glass by the lake at this time of the year of course...) and that is: going home and finding your inner peace. That place can be different from each other. Some of us find it on the balcony, reading a book and enjoying the last few rays of sunlight. Some others find it on the couch, just laying down and stop thinking. We all need that place where we find, in one way or another, peace. 

Maja de Silva, originally from Poland, always had that strong need to design, decorate, and make places look beautiful. "I love everything that has to do with design - materials, textures, colors, being able to select and put everything together - it's just fabulous . Design is also important to me because when I come back home, I want to feel it's my space. In a sense, I want my home to be me." MDS.

When it comes to building interiors, Maja knows exactly what to do, as the first thing she does is getting to know the client, studying the client's needs and making them possible. As an expat, Maja knows the importance of feeling like at home from far away. "

What makes the job so special is not the quantity of projects, but the amazing people you get to work with. And so I'm always happy to start my journey..." MDS.

The Ibiza Boho Chic arrives to Geneva

What does the term BOHO has that we all love to adopt? Yes, “being Boho” is totally IN and the Geneva based Boho Bazaar founder, Evguenia Vojakina, tells us how to look Boho Chic with a few “clicks”.

Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, the Olsen’s sisters, they all have been influenced by this early 21st Century inspired fashion trend that you will find in this online handbag and accessory store called Boho Bazaar.

Evguenia Vojakina, founder of The Boho Bazaar Online Store 

Last January, after several trips to the magical island of Ibiza, Evguenia Vojakina decided to bring the free, positive and bright attitude she found there to our city of Geneva. “I always tried to do what I believed in and was passionate about”, Evguenia says during our meeting. In her boho online store you will find all handmade bags and accessories that make us be Boho from head to toe.

With her Russian origins, she found her inspiration in the Ibiza hippy markets. She admires people who live without regrets, who follow their dreams and work hard to make them happen. Her bags, and other accessories are just a reflection of her passion for life philosophy.

The Online Boho Bazaar store is just a beginning. Her next step is making her own collection. “If you have a dream, you should at least try to move towards it, even if it’s crazy. Very often the fear of failure stops us from starting something new.” EV
