YOUR HERRINGBONE, YOUR STORY

August 22 2022

We believe that jewelry should speak your truth. Oak and Luna's pieces tell a story, your story. Our Herringbone necklace is personalized by you for you, so anything goes! Engraved names of those closest to you, the special dates you want to remember, or a quote you live by – anything goes!
Oak and Luna want to get to know you. We got personal with four members of the Oak and Luna community to talk about everyday style and beyond.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU

My passions are all music, artistry, generosity through service, kindness, and support. I founded Heroine Brands, a creative branding and partnership studio after an extensive career working in-house for luxury brands. I spend a lot of my time supporting charities that focus on education and empowerment for young women and girls.

HOW DO YOU STAY MOTIVATED?

My family does it all for me. I would not be standing here without their love (sometimes tough love) and honest direction. My friends are also a crucial part of my motivation. Being surrounded by the people who see the best in me gives me the opportunity to keep being a Sherpa and a Stargazer.

ABOUT YOUR ENGRAVING

“Gracious Grateful Great”

I wrote this because of the grace I have been given throughout my life. Many roads have led me to my three crown words that express the gifts that helped me live.

“Friendship has no time or distance”

For me, this is self-explanatory. Oak and Luna pieces were the only things I bought during the pandemic. Half of them were for me and the other half were as gifts.

A PIECE OF ADVICE THAT STUCK WITH YOU

What is meant for you won’t pass you by.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU

Art in general has always been a big part of my life. I play piano, I love fashion and interior design, watching old movies and going to museums. As a content creator, I gather my inspiration from those things. I focus on creating aesthetic lifestyle content that inspires women to embrace their own uniqueness and femininity.

HOW DO YOU STAY MOTIVATED?

Consistency is key. The thing is, I’m not consistent. I’ve always struggled with staying motivated. Sometimes I feel motivated and work hard but other times, it’s hard to complete one simple task. Later, I learned that women go through phases and function differently throughout their monthly cycle. Knowing this helped me let my body do its thing. I work extra hard when I can and I give myself time to focus on my emotional well-being and try not to push myself too hard.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR ENGRAVING

I always wear something to elevate my minimalistic outfits. I love adding engraving to my pieces, it always makes them feel more special. For my necklace, I went for an affirmation I’ve been repeating lately. ‘I rise above my fears.’
Between hardships with my health and a breakup, last year was tough. I realized I was doubting myself a lot and gave up on my big dreams. After a long physical and emotional healing stage, I decided to approach those big dreams of mine again by reminding myself that my fears and insecurities can’t hold me back. For me, wearing an affirmation like that on my neck, close to my heart is truly something special. I might not think about those words all the time but I feel them whenever I wear the necklace. I believe that words have power so I RISE ABOVE MY FEARS every single day.

PIECE OF ADVICE THAT HAS STUCK WITH YOU

When I graduated high school I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life. I felt a bit worried and lost since most people around me kind of had that figured out already. My father told me something special that gave me immediate relief. He said, “As you start to walk on the way, the way appears. Just keep walking”.
Sometimes we may not know how to get somewhere, but taking one small step at a time will eventually lead you to your final destination. So, when I feel lost I keep walking, even when I’m not sure where I’m going.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU

I’m lucky to have two careers that I’m super passionate about. When I'm not at a photo shoot or at the studio. you'll probably find me either cooking (Italian food, always), knitting, embroidering, sewing, or solving puzzles. I have an old soul!

HOW DO YOU STAY MOTIVATED?

I get motivated by the people I surround myself with. I tend to gravitate towards interesting, successful, and funny people! But mostly my husband, Alex, has always been my number one motivator. He always has my back and supports my crazy ideas and helps me believe I can accomplish anything I set my mind to.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR ENGRAVING

My quote is from the famous Frank Sinatra song 'I did it my way'. It was my grandpa's favorite song and we were very close and shared a special bond. He was always my person until he passed away 12 years ago. Not a day goes by where I don't miss him, think about him, and say his favorite quote to myself, "I took all the blows and did my way".

PIECE OF ADVICE THAT HAS STUCK WITH YOU

"It's not a competition.” Everyone has their own time to shine and it’s not a competition who shines first. I will achieve everything I want to for myself at my own pace and that timing will be right for me.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU

This year I turned thirty. The funny thing is, I was so scared to turn 30. probably because we are always sucked into society's expectations of us, especially as women. I promised myself to be authentic and follow my instincts, not social rules. I would like to inspire people to live happily and follow their desires.. Today, I am a full-time digital creator and fashion blogger. I have been madly in love with fashion since I was a child. I love art in all its forms, especially photography, writing, painting, and fashion illustration. I'm a Pisces, perhaps this can explain my nature!

HOW DO YOU STAY MOTIVATED?

Well, I don't. My life is full of ups and downs. What I try to do is learn a lesson from everything that happens in my life (no experience is a waste) and constantly improve.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR ENGRAVING

"Gratitude is the most powerful emotion we know". It's a daily reminder to live my life by appreciating everything I have. It helps me shift my mind back to the positive when I feel it sliding away. Sometimes we focus on what we don't have, and this can make you feel like you're living in a state of shortage, even if you have hundreds of reasons to feel happy. Gratitude is a powerful and positive emotion and helps you attract other positive emotions.
