The Bachelorette Finale - Part 1 - Desiree Hartsock Jewelry

What a dramatic episode! It was painful to watch this episode... partly for my ears having to hear so much sniffling into the microphones... but because Brooks ripped Desiree's heart out and stomped on it! Rumor has it... they're engaged. But seriously, why would you take anyone back after that? I certainly wouldn't. Anyway... moving on to the jewelry Desiree wore from Part 1 of The Bachelorette finale!

First and foremost, let me clearly state that the snake necklace Desiree wore on the show is NOT Stella & Dot! It is actually by a fabulous designer, Ariel Gordon. However, you can get a similar LOOK FOR LESS with Stella & Dot's rose gold Sidewinder necklace!

Snake necklace as seen on The Bachelorette's Desiree Hartsock - Ariel Gordon, $95-330

Look for Less: Stella & Dot Sidewinder Necklace (rose gold), $44

Strolling around the resort in Antigua, Desiree had on a long pendant necklace. I don't know the actual designer of this piece (if you know, please leave a comment below and I'll update the post!)... but you can get a similar look with Stella & Dot's Rebel Pendant (one of my favorites). The Bachelor's Catherine Giudici actually has been spotted (during this Hollywood Life interview) wearing the Stella & Dot Rebel Pendant.

During her in-the-moment interview, Desiree is wearing a bold, sparkly chain statement necklace, which is the Stella & Dot Tempest necklace!

  

I can't wait to see how this dramatic finale ends next week... whether it's love or heartbreak, at least her jewels will stay with her!

The Bachelorette - Men Tell All - Stella & Dot Jewelry

I know this episode was all about the men (and their whining and carrying on) so you know I was easily distracted by the man-drama when I spotted Molly Mesnick (a Bachelor veteran) carrying the Stella & Dot La Totale Large Tote in Espresso while wearing the Estate Bib necklace.

Unfortunately, the Stella & Dot Estate Bib is sold out and no longer available.

 

And while talking about hunky Zak, I spotted Desiree in the Pegasus necklace (again).

 

And now it's down to three men... who do you think will ultimately win Desiree's heart? (My vote is for Chris!) And who do you think will be the next Bachelor (hopefully not James!)?

The Bachelorette - Jewelry on Desiree Hartsock - Hometown Dates

I apologize for the delay in covering what Stella & Dot jewelry was seen on Monday, July 15th's episode of The Bachelorette, but I was celebrating the launch of Stella & Dot's new Fall 2013 collection in Las Vegas with my team and fellow Stylists!

I had a chance to catch up over the last few days... and I must say, it is bittersweet to see Zak go home this week. It seems as though Texas brings Stella & Dot sightings (Emily wore the Rebel pendant necklace on her Hometown Date with Sean!)... but that means Zak is available! (Zak, if you're reading this... visit any major city in Texas, and I am sure you will have a multitude of dates lined up. Begin your next journey to find love in Houston or Austin, or any bars owned by the former Bachelor - these are great places to start! ;))

Now... on to the hometown date's Stella & Dot jewelry sightings! First up, a visit to Texas to meet Zak's family and Desiree is immediately spotted in the Stella & Dot (silver) On the Mark necklace!

Over in Scottsdale, Arizona with Drew, Desiree wore the Stella & Dot Valor studs!

  

It also appears that on Drew's date, Desiree is wearing a necklace that looks very similar to the Stella & Dot Sanibel pendant. However, the necklace she's wearing is gold - and at the time the show filmed, this necklace colorway was not available. Now, you can get Desiree's long stone pendant necklace look with Stella & Dot's Sanibel pendant in silver or gold!

Out west in Oregon on her hometown date with Chris, Desiree was wearing one of her favorite Stella & Dot delicate necklaces - the Valor Pendant!

 

During her interview about Brooks' hometown date in Utah, Desiree wore a versatile statement piece - Stella & Dot's Tempest necklace. 

  

And one of my most anticipated (and one of the most anti-climactic) moments of this season was the return of Desiree's crazy brother! During her sit-down with Nate, Desiree was wearing the Stella & Dot Wesley Pendant.

 

Be sure to check out the Men Tell All post to see what Stella & Dot jewelry (or bags! ;)) have been spotted!

Real Housewives of NJ - Melissa Gorga's Sideways Cross Necklace

My guiltiest pleasure is enjoying The Real Housewives of [Insert City, State or County Name Here]! With the launch of Stella & Dot's new Fall collection (and new colorways of many of our best-selling delicate pieces), I immediately spotted Melissa Gorga's sideways cross necklace on last night's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
 

While I am not sure which designer Melissa is actually wearing (it's probably expensive, though), you can get the look for less with Stella & Dot's Maya Brenner-designed Interlock Cross Necklace ($59), which comes in both silver and gold - and has a matching bracelet ($39)!

Stella & Dot Interlock Cross Bracelet - $39

The Real Housewives of Orange County - Get Gretchen's Earrings Look with Stella & Dot!

High-pitched screaming, snowball fights, and tongues stuck to ice walls... I couldn't really focus on all that was happening after I spotted Gretchen's earrings! I am not sure who the designer of the actual pair is (though I believe I've seen them at Nordstrom), but you can get her look with Stella & Dot's Capri Chandelier Earrings - in either Turquoise or Coral!

Get Gretchen's earrings look for $49 with Stella & Dot!

Other fans of the Stella & Dot Capri Chandelier earrings include The Bachelorette's Emily Maynard and actress Nina Dobrev!

Perks of being a Stella & Dot Stylist - Tieks!

There are many perks to being a Stella & Dot Stylist - whether it's as a hobby, or part-time or full-time career - including flexibility in your schedule, additional income, free jewelry and accessories, amazing training and support from the Home Office and your respective teams, the wonderful friendships you make along the way... and more!

But one of the best perks is when other companies love the Stella & Dot brand so much that they want to partner with us to offer our Stylists really cool gifts!

Hoopla (Stella & Dot's annual sales and training conference - which is SUPER glam and oh-so-chic - think fashion shows, style sessions, jewelry viewing, dance parties, etc.) is coming up in just a few days, and this year, we have a few great sponsors - bareMinerals, Smirnoff Sorbets, Luna Bars, RedStamp... and Tieks!

Tieks by Gavrieli are the most versatile designer flats in the world. The ballet flats are made of the finest Italian leathers and designed to fold and fit in a purse. These are the perfect wearable all day, every day shoes for women on-the-go, which is what all Stella & Dot Stylists are. We are a great demographic, don't you think? ;)

This year, Tieks gave every Stylist attending Hoopla a gift card to purchase her favorite pair of ballet flats at a discount. I mean, after late night dance parties in Las Vegas - you're going to want to kick off your heels and opt for a pair of comfy flats.

I was beyond excited, and I spent ours on the site trying to decide which pair to order. I had the hardest time choosing! I love SO many colors. I finally settled on the Sienna Croc Flats. They arrived super-quick, too! I ordered them on Sunday night, they arrived in my mailbox on Wednesday.

I was so impressed by the adorable packaging and personalized, handwritten note. This company has already stolen my heart! I have my eyes set on another pair... now, I just have to figure out which color! Hmmm.... Ballerina Pink, Matte Black, Cardinal Red, Romantic Blush, Metallic Gold, Navy... decisions, decisions! (I see a new obsession forming... right up there with nail polish. The more colors you own, the better!)

What's YOUR favorite color? I know it's hard to choose just one!

Desiree Hartsock - Stella & Dot Jewelry on The Bachelorette - July 8

As her group of men narrows down to five, it's clear that Des is falling in love with more than one man - and at the end, only one will win her heart. It is a good thing that she doesn't have to worry about her love affair with Stella & Dot - it will stay with her forever, no matter how this journey ends! I have to say, my two favorite guys are Chris (I'm a sucker - poems are so girly and romantic) and Zak (probably because he's from Texas - and hey, you gotta root for the home team!) this week.

But Desiree's two favorite Stella & Dot pieces this episode were the Olivia Bib necklace and what appears to be the Maya Pendant in Lapis (or it's possible it could be Labradorite - what do you think?)!

 
Honestly, I was really glad she chose to send home Michael at the rose ceremony this week... but not before having a "last supper" with him while wearing an orange statement necklace - her Olivia Bib!

   

Oh, and during her interview... I caught another glimpse (look really closely!) of the Valor Stud earrings she wore earlier this season!

Meanwhile, on her 2-on-1 date with Zak (swoon!) and Drew... Desiree was sporting a necklace that looked a lot like our Maya Pendant necklace, but I am not quite sure it was. However, you can get a similar look with our Maya Pendant necklace in Lapis or Labradorite.

Now, if you had your eyes peeled for the previews of what's coming up on the hometown dates, you may also have spotted a glimpse of the Stella & Dot silver On the Mark necklace, Valor pendant necklace (one of her TV appearance picks!), Wesley pendant necklace and the Sanibel necklace.

  

   

Tune in next week for another exciting episode... and more Stella & Dot jewelry sightings on The Bachelorette!
