Pile 'em high

For nearly a year I have as a sideline sold Stella & Dot jewellery. It has been great fun and gave me some focus after winding down my styling business and picking up my writing mantle again. Of course as we all know when you have a few projects on the go something tends to dominate eventually. I currently write for a few publications and have nearly completed a book with a new one to tackle as soon as the former is sent to the designer when the suggested editing revisions are completed.

Stella & Dot satisfied my magpie instinct and I have a great collection of costume jewellery, although most will be going to other stylists as samples I will be keeping rather a lot. It is a wonderful shift up from the rubbish I was buying at Topshop et al and I love the bracelets because I can pile them high. Bracelets were the bane of my life as my wrists are tiny but surprisingly Stella & Dot ones work (not all of them on slender wrists but most) and I have been having a complete bracelet moment to make up for the years of only being able to wear my Tiffany & Links of London charm bracelets. Even watches are an issue unless loads of links can be taken out.

The prices range from £15 to the latest addition of the limited edition Admiral bracelet by jewellery designer Lara Bohinc which is £170. This is cheaper than her full price range.



My personal favourite this season is the Lakra bracelet £65 which is second from the bottom from the image below, although I love all of these ones! It is not a great image but take a look at it via the link.


Finally there are some very cute new bands which are brilliant Christmas presents for friends. Sorry about the C word!


This one is the Love one and there is Light and Courage to choose from. I am really glad that I was introduced to Stella & Dot as their pieces are fabulous and fun and affordable and I will continue to look forward to their new collections and buy from them. The items are the right side of grown up glamour and today I pushed the boat out and spoilt myself with a ring - an Alice by Temperly fox ring for £45!

Jewellery is personal but Stella & Dot offer something for everyone, maybe you can join me in the bracelet  piling 'em high club.

    That fox ring is CUTE! I'm more of a ring person than I am a bracelet one - I tend to get very irked by things banging on the desk/keyboard when I'm trying to type so they only last until about 10am before I've taken them off.

      The necklace collaboration is fab too. I know HALLOWEEN - petit garcon told me it was his favourite day today en route to school. Best days in his world are Halloween, Birthday, Christmas and Easter - mmm I wonder why! xx
