what every girl wants…

A housekeeper 7 days a week, a chef and perfect swimsuit body a week after giving birth!!!!

OK, just kidding….

JEWELRY!!

I am not a fashion expert.  I’m pretty good at getting you through a few years of pregnancy without having to buy that much, but regular fashion is not one of my SUPER strengths.  However, accessories have been my friend for the past 3 years.  As I lived in black, tan, white and denim – I wore LOTS of necklaces and bracelets for a few reasons:

They were economical.

They livened up any outfit.

They didn’t care what size I was!

But back to my lack of expertise in the fashion world….I have no problem admitting weakness in this area!  I heard about a company that I’m sure ALL of you will tell me you’ve known about for YEARS.

OK, well then, you no more than me.  But it’s new to me and quickly becoming a Favorite!

I recently spoke with Allison, a stylist for Stella & Dot, and was very impressed with what they have to offer!

She made some very good points about the collection, most true = WHO has time to shop anymore???

Stella & Dot offers  a few great resources to moms (or busy gals in general)!

  1. You can shop online from the comfort of your own home at any hour you choose.
  2. You can host a party and invite your girlfriends over.  Which is a two-fer in my book  – visiting with friends AND shopping. And you can try on as much as you want, without asking a sales person for help every 2 minutes. (It’s actually a three-fer because you earn free jewelry from sales so you could also knock out birthday gifts along with a fun diddy for yourself!) A stylist will help overwhelmed guests find just the right pieces for themselves and for gifts.
  3. My most FAVORITE option is that you can host an online party! So if you are like me and just can’t organize or go to one more event in a week, send out an Evite to your friends inviting them to join you for  a Stella & Dot Online party.  Not only is this easy for everyone, but you can also invite guests that live further away, there is not limit!!  You will be given a special link for “your party” and your friends and guests can shop at their leisure once the kids have gone to bed.  Win-win for everyone! Truly I love this option!
  4. And lastly, if fashion IS YOUR THING, then this can also be a great business for your as well.  Allison can explain more about this to those that want to know, so be sure to check in with her.

Their jewelry is so chic and cute.

Lots to mix and match, and a range of prices to satisfy everyone’s pocket book. I love that I found things for $40 that were really cute!

Being that I’m not the TOTAL fashion guru (I tend to go simple and classic, with a bit of edge, and anything that will hide the dried breakfast on my shoulder from the Littles)…

I reached out to my youngest sister who is ALWAYS pulling together great looks.

These are my sister’s Favorites from the Stella & Dot site:

“Favorite under $100
Stella Vintage Link Bracelet
(This was a favorite for me too!)

Joshephine Lariat
(BONUS POINTS for Versatility)

“Favorite Going out Tonight”

“Favorite Lunch with the Ladies ~ Dressy”

“Favorite Lunch with the Ladies – Casual, Jeans & White T”
Boca Necklace with Bee Brooch
(This was another one of my Favorite’s too!)

“Favorite Awesome Update to Grandma Jewelry”
Happy Flower Necklace

(BONUS POINT for most Unique!)
