I am a huge Stella & Dot fan and I’m so excited for today’s post! My good friend Olga of Explore Your Bliss (and a Stella & Dot stylist – give her a like or a follow) and I are partnering up to host an online Stella & Dot Trunk Show for Lace & Pearls readers. If you make a purchase, your name will be entered to win the Bianca Lariat necklace that I am wearing in this post. This style can be worn two ways (as shown in this post). I love the length and style of this necklace. It’s on-trend and simple enough for every day or a night out on the town.

Stella & Dot is a jewelry and accessory company based out of  San Francisco. The  founder Jessica Herrin is a true girl boss who had a vision to create a brand that would allow today’s busy women a career alternative through entrepreneurship. You can purchase Stella & Dot through in-home trunk shows or online. The design and quality are top notch and one of a kind.

This look unintentionally ended up edgy. The faux leather jacket and distressed jeans gave it a cool girl vibe. For the accessories I went all Stella & Dot. The bracelet is old but the ring is still available. It is one of my favorite Stella & Dot styles.

I hope you will participate in this awesome trunk show. The show will be available through Thursday 2/25. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner maybe you can drop a hint to your sweetie.

If you live in the Snohomish area, Olga will be doing a Stella & Dot event (sample sale + personal styling) at Maple + Moss Boutique’s Spring Wardrobe Refresher. It’s happening this Saturday, February 6th, from 1-4 pm.

This weekend was our first year hosting Thanksgiving. My husband was very ambitious and prepared a turkey and rib roast. Both turned out great, but the roast stole the show. We had family in from out of town and ended up with 11 guest total. It was a lot of fun.

Did anyone venture out for Black Friday? I prefer to stay in and surf the web for the best deals.  I’m excited to say that I did find a couple of fun items that I will be sharing soon.

Let’s talk about today’s look. I have wanted a shirt dress for as long as I can remember. On my frame (5’4″, broad shoulders, and large chest) the task can be nearly impossible. All the dresses in this variety are too long, and resemble a pajama shirt. Here are a couple of tips for finding the perfect one.

Size down. This will give you a slimmer and more flattering silhouette. Shirt dresses tend to be over-sized and boxy.

Buy petite. Getting this dress in petite was a big win. Not only is the length great but the overall fit has less fabric.

Add a belt. Define your waist by adding this accessory.

Add a layer. Adding a jacket or a cozy top layer will also provide your frame with more definition.

My favorite part of getting dressed is the accessories. I love timeless jewelry. When I spotted this monogram disc pendant it was love at first sight. This one is Stella & Dot and adds a little something special to any outfit. The ring’s black pave stones add an elegant but tough feel.

Thanks so much for reading see you Thursday!

I recently had the opportunity to style several pieces from Favery, a jewelry and accessory boutique based out of Seattle. What separates this brand from the rest is their emphasis on celebrating today’s most exciting and influential designers. I love how some of their pieces are handmade, locally sourced, and often made in small batches. The quality can’t be beat and the end product is outstanding!

The first piece is the David Aubrey Turquoise Bead & Crystal Cabochon Statement Necklace. This designer specializes in statement jewelry (my fav). I immediately fell in love with the complexity of the beads in contrast with the crystal cabochons. I am also obsessed with the Pearl & Rhinestone Statement Necklace and the Delilah Brass Box Chain Glass Cabachon Pendant Necklace.

Let’s discuss the A-M-A-Z-I-N-G  Primecut Black & White Cowhide Oversized Clutch!  Talk about a statement piece. When you carry this clutch you immediately feel cool. It’s so unique and the fabric is absolutely gorgeous. This designer is based out of Portland, OR, and specializes in quality crafted handbags and clutches. The other two items that I am swooning over are the Spotted Hobo Bag and Spotted Cowhide Clutch. #Iwantitall

With such fun pieces I wanted to keep my top half simple and highlight the necklace. I went with a simple navy sweater with a faux leather jacket. I have been looking for a faux leather jacket for as long as I can remember. This one fits perfectly and doesn’t have a boxy cut like so many others I’ve tried. The party skirt added another fun element with the unique floral plaid pattern.

I also had the opportunity to collaborate with Oliver Beauty for my makeup. He did an excellent job of bringing out the color in both the necklace and skirt. I will be sharing a future post on our fall collaboration.

Be sure to come back on Thursday to see my second look with Favery.
