Stella & Dot: Year of the Snake - Jewelry

In Chinese tradition, each year is associated with a particular animal, and 2013 is the year of the Snake.

According to HanBan.com, "this 2013 year of Snake is meant for steady progress and attention to detail. Focus and discipline will be necessary for you to achieve what you set out to create."

Allow me to help you focus on creating an on-trend wardrobe with these beautiful snake-inspired accessories from Stella & Dot!

Stella & Dot: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Looks for Less

My guilty pleasure... the Real Housewives of every single city in America! And while I love that all of the ladies are so fashionable, I don't have the budget to shop their actual clothing or accessories brands. (Like last season's infamous $25,000 sunglasses that cost more than my car!)

However, a few of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have been sporting some looks that can be replicated with a smaller price tag through pieces of the Stella & Dot collection!

Adrienne Maloof is actually a fan of Stella & Dot... and she's worn the Serenity Stone Drops in Jade!

Now... these 'Wives are not actually wearing Stella & Dot jewelry in these photos, but I have picked out a few pieces to help you achieve their accessories' looks for less.

Get Brandie's look with the Azure Couture Earrings (on sale!) and the Maya Pendant necklace in Turquoise.

Stella & Dot: The Bachelor Jewelry - Episode 5 - Robyn Howard

Sadly, this episode marked Robyn's last night on her Bachelor journey. I swear, I think the only reason she went home was because she wasn't wearing any Stella & Dot jewelry during the rose ceremony!

However, I did spot Robyn on her group date in Montana wearing her Stella & Dot Rio Chandelier Earrings (no longer available) and Soar Necklace.

 

(Sorry about these particular screenshots, Robyn... you weren't very happy about the situation with the Blue team. ;))

I have a feeling this won't be the last we see of Robyn in her Stella & Dot... To get Robyn's favorite Stella & Dot necklace - the Soar necklace - shop online at www.stelladot.com/wcfields!

Stella & Dot: Layer it On!

 
Layering delicate necklaces is chic and so on-trend, while it can also be worn year-round. I love that you can mix and match your favorite pieces while wearing more than one at a time, which is great for getting more wear out of your jewelry collection.

Step 1: Pick your favorite necklace to start layering.
Step 2: Mix it up! Layer on different textures or shapes.
Step 3: Finish with a long, delicate piece. Oh so chic!

Here are some of my favorite Stella & Dot layering combinations...
