I took advantage of the many bridges in May to escape to the country a few days, what happiness since in addition it is very nice and warm. A summer taste.
To celebrate, I took a pretty long skirt I picked up at
A little Sunday afternoon outfit for a little walk along the Seine with my son.
By the way, I really like the layout they did by the Musée d’Orsay, I have fulminated against it at first because of the traffic but in the end it’s so much more pleasant to be able to access the Seine.
Let’s start the week with an outfit that was inspired to me by a piece from Zara.
I saw this lovely sweater over a leatherette skirt, almost tone on tone. And because I had just received my Dorothy Perkins skirt which was exactly the same shade, so I figured I was going to try it. And I really like the result.
Today I want to talk to you about a jewelry brand I was told about last week : Stella & Dot
I was instantly taken with the concept, the pieces, and I’m sure you’ll love it too.
Stella & Dot was born in 2004 from the mind of an american woman who loves jewels. She wears a lot of them and her friends often asked her where they came from, tips, stuff like that. Stella & Dot was born this way, at first with pieces she created herself, then the adventure was on the rise.
Why do I like Stella & Dot ?
First, you gotta admit the jewels are gorgeous, right now there are several designers with different tastes and universes who are working on the collections, so everyone can find jewelry according to their taste.
And also the jewels are well thought for everybody, which really appealed to me. The necklaces always have several clasps for different neck sizes, same goes for the bracelets, they come with extensions you can choose to keep or not. No more worries for wide wrists. Same goes for the rings, they’re all extensible, and not using metal bits that go into your skin, no they’re tested before so they’re comfortable.
Some necklaces can be worn in different ways thanks to multiple rows, pieces you can clip on, different lengths from chain to choker. Like this “Casablanca” design for instance.
The jewels are also guaranteed nickel and lead-free, made by craftspeople and hand-made. Very high quality jewels, high end but at reasonable prices.
And did you see the packaging ? The boxes in which we received these little wonders are adorable, they’re pretty gift-wrapped parcels to get for yourself or simply to give to someone. With the holidays coming up, I think there are quite a few women in your circle you could spoil with these.
Another thing that touches me : Stella & Dot has signed an american charter against the work of children, forced labor, modern slavery, so you can be sure that your jewels have not been put together by a little girl in a sordid factory in India. And it matters, no need to remind you of the tragedies that are still taking place everyday in the factories that work for Zara or H&M for example.
Finally, one last thing (yes, it’s a long post, you will have realized that this topic really interests me), I opened a shop on Stella & Dot on which you’ll be able to find all of the brand’s jewels (right here). It’s not reserved to me because you can do it too, you can become a “stylist”, wear these jewels and talk about them to your circle, create your own network. It’s pretty easy, everything is explained on the website, you start with a base of jewels like my selection for example and bam, this adventure is now yours too. You can join my team by listing me as a sponsor for instance, “StephanieZwicky”.
I hope you’ll like these jewels as much as I do, you’ll often see them as accessories in my outfits.
Enjoy your visit !
