Stella and Dot

I am a new stylist for Stella and Dot!

I am obsessed with their products so natch... I decided to join them and be a part of such a great company!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new Spring / Summer 2010 line by Stella and Dot.

Inspired by travel and some fabulous destinations around the world, the new collection is filled with gorgeous pieces that will be perfect for any wardrobe and are sure to become instant classics!

Destinations: St. Tropez, Palm Beach, Mexico, and India.

Being the addicted traveler that I am,
I love the idea of the themed destination jewelry.

After seeing what they have you'll too love these lines!
Here are just a few, repeat....few, items I adore.
Seriously, I could be happy with any of the pieces in each line.

Aren't these great for summer! I love both of these necklaces, in fact, I just ordered the both of them!

 They can be worn long or short and the brooches are detachable.

 

These two cool, casual, and ever-so-chic necklaces are fabulous!

Love how these are bold and vibrant!

The Colorburst Enamel Cuff in Turquoise and Green was featured in ELLE and is a perfect statement piece.

In fact, the media just can't get enough of Stella and Dot.  They have been featured on The View and have been featured in Lucky, Elle, InStyle, etc.

Love the Signature Clover Cuff and Chandelier Earings 

OH! And the Garden Party Chandelier Earings....I adore!

 

 

Let's not forget that Maya Brenner has several amazing items with Stella and Dot.

Santa was kind enough to bring me the darling Starfish Necklace.

Now, do you see why I love Stella and Dot?  I bet you're in love too!

My Basement Bathroom

Here are a few pics from my basement bathroom. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Weird...I know....It's a bathroom.  But, when I take a little risk in design or color, I'm always nervous to see how everything will come together.  It's nice when it turns out the way I was hoping it would.

Macaroons

I have never made Macaroons, so I'm a little nervous to do so.

I really want to try these Parisian Macaroons and these

Coconut Macaroons look scrumptious too!

 

Or how about these French Almond Macaroons

Ummm.....I could get a little carried away! Where do I start?

Do you have any favorite Macaroons?
