How to stack an Arm Party

March 13, 2018 By

With so many bracelets and cuffs available it’s fun to be able to wear some of them all at once. Stella and Dot recommend doing just that and I’m going to show you how to stack an Arm Party!

Stack an Arm Party

The first thing you want to do is take your statement piece!

Then, and I’ll be honest you can do this either way but I like to load on next a Delicate..

Now you need to add some texture. I love the Renegade not only do celebrities… hello Kate Perry (ssshhhh don’t tell everyone or they’ll all want one) love this bracelet but it’s just easy to layer with, as you can see…

In this example the Arm Party has been tapered up with Statement closest to the hand but you can taper down if you want. There’s no right or wrong and there are a plethora of ways to stack an arm party.

Tassel Earrings – how to wear them!

March 1, 2018 By

I’m always looking for different ways to wear my tassel earrings because I have so many, it’s a sickness! A year ago I don’t think I even owned a pair but now I do I want to share how to wear them!

Tassel earrings are an on-trend style of statement earrings, but do you feel you don’t know how to wear your tassel Earrings?

I hear you. Questions that may go through your head…

When should I wear Tassel Earrings?
Could I pull the Tassel earrings look off?
What other jewellery should I wear with Tassel Earrings?

Tips on how to wear tassel earrings

You can wear tassel earrings anytime!
Tassel earrings are so on-trend right now, there are so many styles around with many styles taking you from day to night. There’s no rules here ladies.

Tassels with a jumper and a pair of jeans make for a great daytime casual look.

Can you pull the tassel earring look off?

Of course, you can! Anyone can wear tassel earrings, doesn’t matter if you’re a teenager or further advanced in years. There is a tassel earring out there for you, whether you have long hair or short hair.

REMEMBER – Don’t be afraid to set your own Style, if you like it, wear it!! There is no right or wrong, it should be more about how does that pair of earrings make you feel? Good? Well then wear your tassels with confidence.

What other jewellery should I wear with tassel earrings?

Tassel earrings are impactful in their own right meaning you don’t have to match them up to a necklace. They look great adorning your face on their own and so make what we call great ear-candy.

These Gita Tassels are one of the most versatile pieces in that they go with so many outfits and you can see no other jewellery required.

What if I want to wear a necklace?

Go for it! I would suggest sticking to a delicate piece and Stella and Dot have a few of those in their collection. Use the metal accents in the tassels to choose whether you go for gold or silver. I chose the Cameron Choker to go with my Riva Tassels. These Rivas can also be worn as just a stud… versatility!

Four Reasons to Fall in Love with Stella & Dot Jewellery

February 20, 2018 By

Unless you’ve been living under a rock whilst visiting my blog you’ll know one of my passions is styling with Stella and Dot. There are many reasons to fall in love with Stella & Dot Jewellery, let me share mine with you.

Why I fell in love with Stella & Dot Jewellery!

Design

I open the Lookbook and I am immediately drawn to all of it. The designs pull me in and I think, if I could, I would own 90% of it. Stella and Dot’s team is made up of designers who have worked for other luxury brands e.g. Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade and Coach.

More recently Stella and Dot have collaborated with Rebecca Minkoff! I can’t believe this on-trend, edgy fashion designer is working with Stella and Dot. Never did I think it possible to be wearing “designer” jewellery, but I am!

Value

Hmmm! Value is so subjective, right? I could walk into Marks and Spencer, Evans, Accessorize and other clothing and accessory retailers and certainly buy cheaper costume jewellery, fact! However, I am a firm believer in “you get what you pay for”. There is a lot of detail and work that goes into each piece of Stella and Dot jewellery, stick around here and you’ll get to learn that.

I am impressed by the weight of necklaces, Stella and Dot plate to higher than industry standards so each piece lasts longer and feels

Versatility

A third of Stella and Dot’s collection is versatile. This has to be my number one reason for loving the jewellery. A piece of jewellery which can be worn, 3, 5, 7 or more ways is a game changer for me. Versatile pieces give great value to their “Cost per Wear” (CPW).

The big plus is people think you have an extensive range of jewellery but you could have one necklace that looks different because you can wear it 5 different ways!

Seasonally Limited

A lot of the collection is seasonal and therefore limited. I love this for 2 reasons:

It means not everyone is wearing the same jewellery, we all want to stand out and you’ll get more compliments when you do!
Stella and Dot releases new seasonal limited pieces monthly. I get to be on-trend at 48 years old and I don’t even realise it.

Shopping with Stella and Dot couldn’t be easier and it can be such a rewarding personal experience, you can read more here

Hey, but don’t just take my word for it let me show you! Come like and follow my Sammy Style Life FB Business Page here to see some of the range in detail and have fun!

4 ways to bag yourself free jewellery

February 19, 2018 By

Can any woman ever have enough jewellery?

Isn’t it better, to get it for free! Here are 4 ways to bag yourself free jewellery!

1. Host an in-home Style Session with Stella and Dot

It always sounds so much like hard work but it doesn’t have to be. You need to book one of these in-home sessions with your Stella and Dot Stylist… hey that’s me! You send out personal invites to friends who a) you’d love to entertain and b) also wear accessories.

Tell your friends it’s a girls-night-in, with Prosecco and nibbles and a chance to try on some of the newest trends in accessories.

When your friends buy any items you earn “hostess rewards”, which is essentially product credit… Ummm that’s free jewellery and up to 4 items at 40% off.

2. Hold an online Style Session on Facebook

If you’re not much into socialising, tidying up your house or having to fix your hair or wear a bra then an online Style Session is for you! It’s the perfect way to get your friends together to buy jewellery and accessories galore!

An online Style Session on Facebook is super easy to host. When you book with me as your Stylist I do most of the work for you, so you don’t have to. All you have to do is invite your girls from anywhere in the country and shop away!

3. One-to-One Styling

Don’t want to deal with any kind of social gathering? That’s OK. If you want to see how certain pieces will go with your wardrobe then you can arrange a one-to-one Style Session. These are so much fun to do and most Stylists offer this service free!

When I book these, I come round to your house with all my gorgeous Stella and Dot jewellery samples and pair them up with some of your favourite pieces. We still set up a Style Session for you just in case you order enough you can earn your own hostess rewards. Plus, I’ll leave you some Lookbooks to give to your friends and they can order too, no party involved!

4. Become a Stylist

Remember that famous shaver Remington line “I loved it so much I bought the company”? Well, that can happen to you too!

This is totally how I became a Stylist but many love the accessories but don’t want to work their business. That is OK too. When you sign up as a Stylist with Stella and Dot you get up to earn commission on sales, and discount on products plus the opportunity to earn more free items.

On signing up your initial investment gives a great return on a good amount of free jewellery, this differs each month so definitely contact me for more scoop on how to get that free jewellery.
