A Girl’s Best Friends

Hello you. Yes, I know, it’s world cup time and there can’t be anything more important right now but please do not expect me to succumb to soccer madness. Of course I want our team to win but I will definitely not run around like a zombie if they don’t. To be honest, I have never understood this extreme passion for Fußball that is to typical for most Germans. In my opinion there are far more interesting sports. For example: alpine skiing … how much control do you need to have over your body to fly down a slope at 120 km/h. ( … and Bode Miller is a god!) or … ice hockey, watching all this raw maleness is highly tantalizing.
Oh, I am getting distracted … So anyway, I am just going to continue posting about girly stuff.
All my writing about jewelry has inspired me to open our private jewelry boxes. So I asked my girls to dish about their personal taste in jewelry and to share some of their treasures with us. Here are their thoughts:
Charlie:
Jewelry is next to shoes, bags and scarves the most important and versatile accessory a woman should have in her closet. I own tons (ok, maybe not tons) but a lot of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and brooches. Naming them all would go beyond the scope of this post (and probably bore you to death), that’s why I picked some pieces which I dearly love. After I had made this choice I realized that they all have one thing in common: they were either given to me by strong and independent women and/or they link me to such.
There are the two rings I got from my aunt or the necklace which reminds me of three very special girls. I have the watch that I got from my sister and the vintage inspired earrings with rubies my mom gave me years ago.
And last but not least there is this special bracelet which I share with my best friend and that will always remind me of a life changing experience… .
Kaede:
I love jewelry. Which girl doesn‘t? But I don‘t wear any because it seems that I prefer really expensive stuff. Jewelry is something special to me. Probably that is why I love exclusive things. I have a soft spot for antique jewelry. Every time I pass an antique store I dream of owning one of those wonderful pieces. I love the fact that they have a story and of course I find them beautiful. Actually I think jewelry is even more beautiful when there is a story behind it. I guess I have a more romantic attitude to jewelry.
by Gibson Hummingbird: more interesting than soccer…no way. I love hockey but there is nothing like Fußball WM in Germany and btw we have the most sexiest coach duo ever 😉

I had a crush on Oliver Bierhof in 1998. And Jogi is not bad either. BUT … there are definitely more interesting sports around. Somehow I miss the raw and aggressive edge in soccer. As I said …. downhill skiing …. a man and a mountain, this is sexy! 😉
by Charlie:
“a man and a mountain”. I like that! 🙂 That’s like ” a man and Alaska = Into The Wild” Raw, wild, edgy…

Oh I think you cannot compare a team sport to a single player contest…I really appreciate that the World Cup bonds so many people who celebrate together, who cry together… but well, each to their own…
Great blog.. yes it is a girls best friend….
I love this antique engagement ring!
