a post about jewelry...yes, you read that right

If you know me at all, I'm not the girliest of girls.  I'm more of a jeans & a t-shirt, whiskey by the fire, kind of girl.  BUT, as it usually is with siblings, my sister is just the opposite.  She has been in charge of all things feminine in my wardrobe since I was in high school, and now sells Stella & Dot jewelry.

As such, about twice a year, (or whenever my sister asks), I do the sisterly thing and host a trunk show.  I like the trunk shows for a couple of reasons: there is no presentation, just a display; I can earn free stuff; who doesn't love fun appetizers and drinks; there is also an online component, which is right up my ally.

I'm not going to bore you with a pitch, but I will show you some of my favorite things.  If you want to take a look at the rest of the line, you'll see that there's all sorts of price points, a good mix of classy & trendy items, and everything can be dressed up for dressed down.  I fall in the dressed down category.

If you see anything that you like, my trunk show runs for just 2 more days, through April 10th, and you can choose me as your hostess when you check out.  My sister and I both would appreciate it!

And now the pretty things.....

The first things I want to show you are part of an Autism Awareness "April Shop for a Cause" event. 20% of the April sales from pieces in this collection go to Autism Awareness.

Bring it Jewelry Roll $39

Tree of Life Necklace $69

Since I'm going back to Clemson this weekend for the Orange & White game, I'm going to show you what this not-a-girlie-girl has my eye on for football.  The nice thing about this orange is that it's a good Clemson Orange, but not so dark that it can't pass on gameday at Tennessee or Auburn.  Shipping with Stella & Dot is pretty fast, so if you order today, you should have presents in the mail for this weekend.

Soiree Studs - Coral $24

Vintage Twist Bracelet $39

Adina Necklace $59

Olivia Bib Necklace $118

These are also on my wish list, and fall in the more 'classic' category.

Sanibel Chandeliers $49

'The Slinky Bracelet' $49

Please take a look at my sister's website, Christy Fazio, and if you see anything that you like you can choose me, Emily, as your hostess.  My sister really appreciates it!! (She's also still booking trunk shows if you'd like to see the line in person.)

Edit 4/25/13 - My show is over, but if you see anything you like you can still support my sister.  All of the links on this page connect directly to her e-store. :)
