An Exciting New Venture! (and Giveaway)

If you've been reading RGR for a while, you know my love for Stella & Dot jewelry. My love affair began in May of 2012, when I attended the NoVA Fashion Week Luxe Lifestyle Event. It was there that I met Kristin Biggs, Stella and Dot Stylist. That night I also gained a dear friend in Kristin. Over the years, we've had lots of fun with jewelry, lots of great conversation and tons of fun. Before Thanksgiving I approached Kristin about becoming a Stylist myself. I had done some research and decided it would be a great fit for me and a way to make some extra money but also set my own hours. Kristin spent hours answering all of my questions and was very encouraging but didn't pressure me at all. I spent the next two weeks thinking and doing more research. Last week I decided to take a leap and become a Stylist. Frankly, I was a bit scared but I think that's a good thing. I love this quote.

I have always needed challenges in my life. This venture is a huge challenge. It will take hard work, in addition to my full time job but I know I can make it my own. It's easy to be passionate about something you love.

 

The first piece I fell for back in May of 2012 was the Femme Fatale. This necklace was everything I loved. I could wear it at work (like in the photo below) or to a rock show with a t-shirt. It's shiny, chunky, pretty and attention grabbing. It's still one of my favorites. Stella and Dot retires their pieces eventually, which is a great for a collector but sad when someone spies a piece they love and it's no longer available. The great news is there are always great new pieces to fall for.


 
A few of my favorites...
Just a few of my current favorites are the Déjà Vu earrings, Renegade bracelets (I'm loving the rose gold version, not pictured below), and the Sutton necklace. The Déjà Vu earrings are three pairs in one, just flip them around and you can have a brand new pair. I say three because you cold wear the solid side in one ear and the pave side in the other ear.


It's amazing to me how so many women with different personal styles love the Renegade. From preppy girls, to rocker girls, it can work for anyone and everyone.


The Sutton necklace (it comes in five different colors, mixed metal, gold, silver, white, and green). I love the sutton because you can wear it five different ways, just on it's own. How great is that!?

I will have a giveaway later this week! STAY TUNED!
