My Casual Chic
Out for a dinner date with my sweet heart. Thought I would be comfortable in all ways other than my Steve Madden heels. These shoes literally make my foot face strait down, but they are so pretty and I love the color, I have had them for years :) But thats why I wear them out to dinner, because I will not be walking much! This is a bracelet that I "borrowed" from my little sister. I seem to be doing that a lot lately :) This shirt is Obey. The pants are my comfortable go-to's, they are XOXO. My earrings are ASOS. My three finger ring is Rachel Roy.

Turquoise Dream Jewel!
This stone historically dates back to 200 B.C. where it was used by Indian Tribes for religious purposes, art, trade, treaty negotiations, and jewelry. It was also worn by Pharaohs and Aztec Kings.
Turquoise is considered the stone of life, good fortune and a symbol of wealth by American Indians and other cultures of the world. Turquoise is the rare product of an incalculable number of chemical and physical processes that must take place in the right combination and proper environment over a time span of hundreds of thousands-if not millions-of years to be made.
When I was a little girl...my mother had a bracelet that had a HUGE turquoise stone on it. We called it the dream jewel. Whenever my sister or I had a bad dream, we would, like all little kids, march ourselves into our Mothers room to wake her up and proceed (with tears usually) to tell her about our scary dream. My Mother would tell us about the healing powers of the "Dream Jewel" and told us that all those little cracks and dots in the stone were trapped bad dreams. So if we were going to have a bad dream when we wore it, the stone would trap the bad dream and when we woke in the morning, and the stone would have a new mark or dot in it. And that new mark was the bad dream that it trapped to help us sleep through the night. Needless to say it worked like a charm!
And since my childhood I have had a fascination for Turquoise and its rugged beauty!
And so...some beautiful pictures of other dream jewels:
