All of Stella and Dot items are shipped is these adorable boxes which are worth collecting in their own right!

I hope you can see why I love the Stella and Dot line so much.  It’s full of fun, spirited, colorful and just plain pretty stuff! 

Several months ago I connected via blogland with Melanie who writes the fabulous blog Lucky and Lovely  and who just happens to be a Stella and Dot representative.  Melanie sent me a Stella and Dot catalog and that is when my real love affair with their product began.

In getting to know Melanie, I mentioned to her that I am on the board of directors of a non-product organization in Atlanta called The Community Assistance Center.  The organization’s mission is to bring  together community resources to provide compassionate assistance to persons in need, prevent homelessness, alleviate hunger and promote self-sufficiency.

One of the annual charity events for CAC is a fashion show and sale.  The sale features  designer fashions and accessories at bargain prices.  And, this year Stella and Dot jewelry will also be included in the event.  Melanie has so graciously offered to accessorize the fashion show and Stella and Jewelry will be for sale! WooHoo!

This years event is taking place June 22nd  (Pre-Sale and Fashion Show) and 23rd (open shopping)  in North Atlanta.  Click here for all the details and location.

I’ll be there Friday evening so if you get a chance, please stop by, say hello and shop!

 It’s been fun sharing Stella and Dot with you.  Take a minute to check out their full catalog and make sure to stop by Melanie’s blog to say hello!

 

p.s. This is not a paid endorsement for Stella and Dot…just sharing the things I love with my readers!

Accessible Fashions: Statement Necklaces

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but over the last couple of years, jewelry styles have gotten bigger and bolder.  Necklaces in particular are all about impact and Statement Necklaces will continue to be all the rage into Spring and Summer 2012.  I don’t think my jewelry board has any more room on it, but I can’t help but lust after these bold and bargain priced pieces.

Lovin’ this in my new favorite color–Emerald Green.  Forever 21–$6.80

Great for spring with white or bright yellow!  Forever 21–$6.80

What a great piece to wear with a classic white shirt!  Old Navy–$15.94

This is a fun piece to mix with longer chains!  So COCO!  Target–$39.99

A bit more tribal but this would look great with a long black maxi dress for summer.  Cost Plus World Market–$19.99

Classic but fun!  Kohl’s–$19.60

 

So, which piece is your favorite and where do you shop for your statement jewelry?  I’d love to know.

Color Inspiration: Emerald Green

I’ve been in the process of updating my inspiration board and one of the greatest inspirations so far this year is the gorgeous EMERALD GREEN color that I am seeing everywhere, from fashion, to jewelry, to home decor.

Mixed with animal print, the regal feel of  emerald takes on a playful feel.

As someone who loves color,  I love how the deep, rich shade of emerald green gives off such a fresh and energizing vibe.

This necklace is a real statement piece and the green only adds to the wow factor.

Emerald green is a spectacular color for party decor as well.

Such a refreshing color palette for a late winter or early spring party.

All it takes is a little ribbon and some beautiful flowers.

Emerald Green is a great accent whether in a personal accessories, home decor accent or textile.

Why not paint a piece of furniture green to add drama and style to a space?

Just a touch of green mixed with another primary color.

What a great way to add personality to a neutral sofa or walls.  Mix and match various patterns for high style.

Emerald Green surrounded by lighter tones of the color will give a room depth.  And, mixed with chocolate brown, green makes the space lively.

Navy blue and white take on a less traditional feel when green is thrown into the mix.  Use green in three or five places throughout the room to make the color pop feel intentional and connected.

 I’m so loving this color, I decided to pull together a design inspiration board based on it.

 

So are you loving Emerald Green as much as I am?

or is there another color that’s inspiring you?

FLOWER POWER

With the heat index nearing 100 degrees in Atlanta today, I have spent a leisurely but productive Sunday making jewelry, reading magazines and catching up with my DVR library.  I also took a peek outside, at my planter boxes, and was thrilled to see that my flowers have not succumb to the heat.  There are so many wonderful things about the Summertime, but there’s not much that beats the beauty of  a pretty flower.   Here are a few Summer finds with loads of flower power.
