Stella Hits Hollywood

When you see that Stella & Dot has hit the Red Carpet Fashions, you know its a brand to have in your jewelry box. Not to mention, hosts and contestants on some of the top mainstream media shows have incorporated Stella into their style, consistently. 

Stella & Dot's new Spring 2010 line launched barely two weeks ago, however, reporter Giuliana Rancic has already added a piece to her E! News wardrobe. Giuli is wearing the Sayulita Statement Necklace in brown and shows us just how simple it is to wear a statement piece.  She fashioned this necklace with the cluster of Swarovski crystals on her right, but as you can see from the catalogue photo above, you can wear it on either side. Notice how she paired this turquoise and chocolate colorway with a knit dress in plum. Style Sense: she proves you don't have to wear this piece with just brown and turquoise! Expand your color matching skills!

We all sit with our jaws dropped at the fabulous jewels that dazzle the red carpet knowing there is no way we can reach in our pockets and impulse purchase the pieces from Neil Lane, Cartier, and Chopard that these celebrities are wearing. That is, until Stella & Dot came along!  Once again, Giuliana Rancic goes high style in an affordable way! She has paired her couture gown with Stella & Dot's Grace Pearl Bauble Bracelet . For just $89 you can get her award-stunning look.

No matter what the age, you can still splurge on style! Bachelorette, Jillian Harris and talk show host, Barbara Walters, are featured wearing Stella & Dot's Turquoise Sea Necklace two completely different ways. Jillian shows the simplicity of this necklace as she pairs it with a basic tank as Barbara dresses it up with a blazer and a risky pop of color with her flower brooch.  Once again, this goes to show you can mix statement colors and still pull it off! 

Barbara continues to use Stella & Dot for her finishing touches and this time she does it along with Debra Messing. Both celebrities are featured here wearing the Delilah Necklace . This is a fabulous statement piece and is full trend with the turquoise color for Spring 2010. Hues of greens, jade and turquoise work together to create this stunning style. 

Entourage star, Debi Mazar, wears baubles of pearls around her neck at the Golden Globe Awards with the Sofia Pearl Bib Necklace.  You can wear this piece alone or add the Bardot Flower from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection like the photo to the right shows above.  Or, utilize the barrette on the flower and wear it in your hair to compliment the necklace. 

Escape to St. Tropez

Take a trip with me to the French Riviera for a fraction of the cost. With these cool, chic and casual styles, you'll daydream of a vacation to a place of paradise.  No one has to know you never did go!

Make a bold statement with the St. Tropez Statement Necklace in Ivory. Layers of silk-wrapped beads dangle from your neck off an ivory ribbon. Swarovski crystals are then delicately hand sewn for added detail. The necklace is lighter than it looks and is designed so you can twist the crystal brooch to wear on whichever side you desire.

Go chic St. Tropez style with the Riviera Pendant Necklace and Riviera Coin Earrings. Vintage coins act as a backdrop to labradorite stones on both pieces and a crystal studded flower on the necklace. These pieces are casual and calm and the necklace is great for layering.

Update your look with the Bardot Flower by wearing it in your hair, on your lapel, swapping your brooch out from last seasons La Coco Necklace or by adding it to the Sofia Pearl Bib Necklace. Any way you choose, you'll be making a huge statement. Shapeable linen fabric is fringed on the edges and stacked in a floral design for a rustic beach look as the center sparkles with a collection of Swarovski Crystals.

The rocker-chic Colette Necklace is dressed with an array of textures and materials for an impeccable look. Pearls, chains, and crystals are all braided together and finished with a blush colored gros-grain ribbon for adjustability.

Go playful with a coil of silver nuggets that collectively create the Bardot Spiral Bangle. It's coiled design provides flexible adjustability to fit both small and large wrists. This is a great everyday item and a fabulous piece to stack more bracelets with. (It also looks fabulous with the St. Tropez Statement Necklace!)
