That’s right, it’s time for another Stella & Dot giveaway! This time, from the just released 2013 Summer Collection. Our Chelsea Tech Wallet has been extremely popular and since you all seemed to love the giveaway I did last fall (for the Chelsea in poppy), I decided to give away another one! ***Note:  This wallet is currently available in three patterns. The navy stripe pattern is very low in stock, so if you really love it, I suggest ordering it NOW. It will be back in stock briefly starting on/about May 10. After that, it won’t be back in stock until July.*** I am still loving this tech wallet as much as I did when it first arrived last fall. It’s just SO handy! It…

Last August, I posted about my coral color crush. I’m still loving coral, but I’ve also got a new crush on the color mint. It’s everywhere right now. Last week at Target, I couldn’t get enough mint. I bought a set of four mint green dip bowls, a mint green photo frame and a decorative minty milk glass bottle (none of which are available online, unfortunately). Speaking of Target (and this is no April Fools’ joke), am I the last one on earth to know about the Target debit card?! When the cashier explained that it’s not a credit card (instead it’s linked directly to your checking account) and that the rewards for using it include 5% off your purchases, free shipping at target.com, pharmacy…

Hubs gets home from work, walks in the door. I’m in the kitchen, which is a disaster zone and I am very irritated… Hubs:  What’s wrong? Me:  Oh I just wasted all this time making this stupid recipe and it tastes like crap. Hubs:  Oh no. What is it? Me:  Mini chocolate tarts. They’re raw, you won’t like it. Hubs:  It looks really good. Me:  Yeah, and I think my photos turned out great, but now I can’t even use ‘em. Hubs:  (takes a bite) What’s the problem? It’s great! I love it! Me:  You’re lying. You’re just trying to make me feel better. Hubs:  (takes another bite) No I’m not – I think it’s really good! Me:  Really? I hate it. I think it’s…

I thought I’d take a little break from food posts and introduce you to a few of my favorite pieces from the Stella & Dot Spring 2013 Collection. And while I’m at it, I’m going to give some away! After all, I really do appreciate you guys. Thanks for reading and commenting. You guys rock. Ready to meet my new friends? How’s THAT for a pop of color?! Looks good enough to eat! I love the rich hues of coral, rose and fuchsia in this gorgeous Spring Awakening Necklace. Here’s a tip for ya:  Pair bold statement necklaces with small earrings – let the necklace be the star of the show. I like to wear the Soiree Studs in coral with this piece. Meet Kimberly,…

As I’ve mentioned a time or two before, I am a Stella & Dot Stylist. If you’re not familiar with Stella & Dot, well where have you been?! It’s the stylish, fashion-forward accessories line that is taking the direct sales world by storm. As a Stylist, I get to help my Hostesses earn $100s in free jewelry and half price items when they get their girlfriends together to shop and chat at a trunk show (in their home or elsewhere). It’s a pretty good gig ;) When I first started with Stella & Dot three and a half years ago, our only product was jewelry. Fast forward to today. Now, we also have gorgeous handbags and wallets, beautiful scarves, designer tech cases and more. In fact,…
