Stella & Dot Packaging

Recently, I was in Jackson, Mississippi visiting my family. My sister had been invited to a Stella & Dot jewelry party and informed me I was coming along with her. I usually don't like these kinds of things for a few reasons: #1. I feel obligated to buy something whether I want to or not. (which is the point of this type of sales, I'm sure) #2. The stuff people sell at house parties is usually really ugly. BUT this Stella and Dot stuff is actually really cute! Not the most inexpensive, but reasonable for the most part. I'd been on the lookout for a wrap bracelet anyway, and I found one that luckily came in gold, so I wrote up my order, had a glass of wine, and I was on my way! THEN, the most exciting part...the packaging! I just got my bracelet in the mail today, and I felt like I was getting a special present! So pretty, and so exciting to open. Check it out:




I love this! "You Have a Great Eye" Why thank you, Box!


The bracelet is great quality too. I think it may turn in to an every day staple!


I just love the attention to detail from the lining of the main box, to the sweet little note on the jewelry box. The pattern comes from a shape that that use in some of their jewelry, which is also a nice touch. Nice work, Stella & Dot designer!

Vera Wang, I love you.

So, do any of you subscribe to the online shopping sites? Because I know I do. They're like an online TJ Maxx, but sometimes they have amazing designer dresses, like Vera Wang that's on Gilt today, for more than half off retail! Which is still anywhere between $200-$700. Ouch! That's a lot of cash to drop on a piece of clothing that I won't get to wear too often. Actually, if I owned one, I may just wear it around the house or when I had people over for cookouts. It seems like it would be one of those pieces you never want to take off! Anyway, just wanted to share these beautiful dresses with you. And if you want to subscribe to any of these awesome shopping sites, click
here ,here or here. The last one is Gilt where the Vera Wang dresses are. Yummy! But I'll warn you, these sites are very addicting. But also great time killers if you're procrastinating! Also, if you order from Rue La La, you'll be even more excited to get your discounted designer whatever in once you see how beautiful their packaging is! Your receipt comes in a hot pink vertical tea length envelope with a key hole in the flap! And they've made a pattern with their logo that's pretty amazing too. So, check 'em out if that's your kind of thing. Whether you buy or not, these sites are great to get fashion inspiration from. So it's kind of a win win. Enjoy!
