Inspired Style: Olivia Bib Necklace

Before I get to the story behind the Olivia Bib, I want to take a moment and gush about how much I love this piece. When I was ordering my Fall samples, I wasn't sure if I should order this piece. It was kind of expensive, I wasn't sure if I would actually wear it....and if I did wear it, would I look totally ridiculous in it. Since I am a new stylist and booking shows has been a slow process for me I waited a few days to think "logically" about the purchase..really I just could hear my boyfriend's voice in my head saying to me "do you NEED it, or do you just really WANT it.." I decided I needed it (logical, I know).


Let's just say I have worn this piece probably 3 times,  and I have gotten TONS of complements every time I've worn it. I've worn this necklace (paired with the Gigi earrings) with black, green, and blue tops. I'm sure it would look amazing with other prints and stripes. It's a show stopper, and I highly recommend it. It seriously takes an "okay" or "average" outfit to an "awesome" outfit.

Alright...back to how the Olivia Bib got its name:

"My daughter, Olivia inspires me with her incredible sense of style. From a very young age, she would just put crazy things together. Olivia can mix feminine pieces with boyish or edgier items and they just "work." Whether she is going to school, work, or out hiking, she never leaves the house without making some sort of fashion statement! She LOVES Stella & Dot and wears it everyday. Taking a statement necklace and wearing it with a plaid flannel shirt or loading up her arms with wrap bracelets. Her style is unexpected, and so inspiring!"

If you are LOVING this necklace as much as I do I HIGHLY encourage you to check it out on my website

So..okay, you love it but it's kind of a "budget breaker" for you..I get it, really I do (I'm a chiropractic student) here are a few options for you:

1. Host a trunk show (online or in person)

:by hosting a show, YOU can earn this necklace for FREE

2. You look at my website and fall in LOVE with the entire collection

:YOU can become an Independent Stylist just like me

Magazine Monday

Confession: I indulge in watching The Bachelorette. The show is cheesy, and has a less than spectacular record of couples staying together...but I don't really care. I tune in every Monday night at 8pm and indulge.
This season Emily Maynard (the bachelorette) wore Stella & Dot almost every episode..if not every episode. She is a sweet southern girl with impeccable style.

Just a few weeks ago she picked her final guy: "1 F Jef" who also has a unique sense of style. After the final episode airs and the "winner"/"fiancee" is revealed, the couple then hits the road for interviews with the major TV networks and magazines.  The picture I've included is from last week's issue of People magazine (my other indulgence).
Emily is wearing the new Sparkly Bardot Bangle from the fall collection and the Carobella Hoops- Rose Gold.
Both of these are fantastic pieces! See the rest of Stella & Dot's collection at www.stelladot.com/EricaNAnderson

Meet Gigi

These little beauties are available in black and "bright orange," but the "bright orange" they speak of looks red. I love these little gems so much; I wear them with the Olivia Bib and get a million complements on the duo EVERY time I wear them. I'm really serious; currently I'm gimping around because I herniated a disc in my back..so there's definitely a reason to stare at me. 

Point of the rant: these little gems are worth splurging for :)

Back to the story...here's how these earrings got their name!

"I chose the name "GiGi" in remembrance of my mom, Gina Gambarelli. GiGi was a very strong-willed, bold woman who ran a tight ship with her four young children. She always showed us that to be happy, you have to love what you are doing and do your best. Stella & Dot has empowered me both as a mom and a businesswoman. I enjoy working as hard as I can to build a business that helps others feel empowered and strong. I love sharing the success and teaching my children to be passionate about what they do. I know my mom GiGi would be proud."

Fall Favorite #1

Now that I've received my Fall line samples and have had the chance to wear a few of the pieces I thought I would dish on a few of my favorites...

My first favorite is the: Olivia Bib Necklace

I have worn this with black, blue and green tops....it's fabulous with all 3 colors. I have also received SO many complements on this necklace. The piece really speaks for itself...it's preppy, chic and knows how to make a bold statement. 

I wore this necklace with the Gigi Studs (I'm a stud girl..not so much hoops), Bardot Spiral Bangle in gold (hands down...my favorite piece EVER), Secret Garden Ring.

Inspired by Style: ARC Earrings

Today's Inspired by Style spotlight is on the new ARC Earrings. These earrings are delicate, elegant stone earrings that are universally flattering and add the perfect touch of polished style to ANY look! Theses earrings are near and dear to Stella & Dot's Senior Director, Carla Greengrass--these little beauties are names after her grandmother, Ann. 

Carla's story: 

"I chose the name ARC because these are the initials of my beloved grandma, Ann. She was a strong, independent, elegant, and loving woman who I adored with all of my heart, and miss dearly. Though she's been gone for a long time, her impact on my life was substantial and has influenced who I am today. 

She would have loved Stella & Dot, not only because she understood the power of fashion, but also because of the entrepreneurial opportunity it provides women. Back in the '50s, she entered the workforce out of necessity, leveraging her smarts, style and heart of gold to build a hugely successful business. I like to think I'm following in her footsteps and can think of no better way to honor her legacy than with these gorgeous earrings."
