Stella & Dot & Ruby

Its Saturday morning and I’m lying in bed trying to muster up the energy to head out for a run. The nice thing about being Fall/Winter is that I can head out later in the day and not die from heat exhaustion. While I’m trying to make myself get moving, I thought I’d write a quick post about a jewelry party I went to this week.

I am not a jewelry person. At all. Mostly because:

1. I’m usually running late and don’t have time to figure out what pieces go with what outfit.
2. Too many purchasing options tend to overwhelm me, and I end up buying nothing.
3. The only new clothes I’ve gotten recently are workout or running clothes which don’t really go with jewelry.

I’d never heard of Stella & Dot before, but a friend was throwing the party and she has a new puppy that I wanted to see, so I rsvp’d. Plus I knew she’d have good food.

As soon as I walked in, I went straight to Ruby, her brand new 9 week old Golden Retriever.

Isn’t she the cutest thing ever?

Unfortunately, she was really tired and not up for playing…

…to the point of being comatose.

I think she got annoyed at me for constantly bothering her and interrupting her nap.

Eventually I left her alone and to see what all this jewelry craze was about. I *loved* what I saw!

Lots of versatile pieces that can fancy up even the most basic of outfits! I’m very much a t-shirt and jeans kind-of-girl (I admit to having obsessions with Michael Stars & James Perse) so these pieces would go very well with what I wear. It reminds me very much of some of the J Crew accessories, but I think they’re better, more options.

I am finding myself developing a bit of an obsession with the charms:

(Hint to my family…expect these in your stockings at Christmas…)

What’s even better is that Stella & Dot is based in Burlingame, California, only 10 minutes away from me! Gotta support the locals, right?

Thanks so much to my friend Jerri, and Kari Somerville, the Stella & Dot stylist who introduced me to them!
