This year, for Mother’s Day, I decided to do something I’ve never done before. I stepped away from the styling, the curating, the editing — and handed it all over to my kids.

No direction. No suggestions. No rules.

I asked them to choose the pieces they loved most.

Not what they liked on me. Not what they thought I should wear. Simply what they were drawn to, instinctively and honestly. What caught their eye. What felt exciting to them. What they loved, period.

And what came together was an edit I could have never created on my own.

There’s something incredibly revealing about seeing taste through a child’s perspective. It’s unfiltered. Emotional. Visual. Immediate. They don’t think about trends, proportions, or occasions. They respond to color, texture, shape, and feeling. To what delights them.

This Mother’s Day editorial became less about fashion and more about perspective. About letting go of control. About seeing beauty through their eyes instead of my own.

The result is The Mom Edit — by my kids.

A selection of pieces chosen with pure instinct, curiosity, and joy. An edit shaped by their gaze, their preferences, their sense of wonder.

And, in a way, it feels like the most meaningful one I’ve shared.

Because sometimes, the most meaningful way to celebrate motherhood is to invite them into your world — to let them be part of your process, your pieces, your work, your hobbies — and, every now and then, to step back and let them lead.

This weekend, our family spent time together in El Pueblo (Quintanilla), tucked away in the quiet beauty of rural Burgos, Spain.

The experience truly inspired us, surrounded by rustic textures, the earthy colors of the landscape, and the timeless charm of old constructions that hold so much heritage and soul.

We took our jewelry for a little stroll and captured some moments, the pieces catching the soft sunlight, surrounded by nature and everyday life.

The kids were laughing and running around and swing hanging from a tree. We picked vegetables straight from the garden, played with the animals on the farm.

At the end of the day, we gathered around a long table, every chair different, every person from a different corner of the world,  yet all sharing one thing: the joy of the family being united.

Sometimes, what matters most is simply the company, the shared moments, and the beauty of slowing down.

With love, Mariel & Family

The Power of Citrine

Citrine, the ultimate “best feeling stone,” is a radiant crystal that brings joy, confidence, and abundance into your life.

Why we love it:

• Boosts mood & energy

• Attracts success & prosperity

• Supports emotional healing

• Sparks creativity & inspiration

• Promotes vitality & wellness

How to wear it:
Mariel loves layering Citrine with gold jewelry or matching sets, and even pairing it with Amethyst for a stunning color combo. Solo or stacked, it’s perfect for a sun-kissed, uplifting look.

On June 23rd, we gather by the sea, light bonfires, and jump over the flames seven times to release the old and call in good luck.

We eat grilled sardines by the shore, soak wild herbs in water overnight, and wash our faces with it at sunrise for clarity and protection.

Let your crystals charge with this magical energy — citrine, clear quartz, rose quartz, or amazonite are perfect for this moment.

Famous astrologer Susan Miller says June 24th is the luckiest day of the year — a perfect time to manifest your dreams.

Our Salty Scales collection captures the balance of fire and water — made for this magic.

Wishing you a magical San Juan.
