Stella & Dot Party + My Wishlist

On Monday night I hosted a Stella & Dot party at my place - my last event before leaving (so sad!). There was so much beautiful jewelry for us to try on, but what I most enjoyed was the company. A few of my friends were able to make it out, as well as my cousin who recently moved to the province. And my Stylist, Erika, is actually a friend of a friend that I haven't spent much time with in a while, so it was nice to catch up!

I had a blast visiting with friends, sipping wine, and trying on jewelry! Since I'm keeping my party open for a little while to accommodate friends who weren't able to attend but want to purchase, I decided to build my own wishlist for when I make my purchase at the very end.  

1. Alice Bracelet - Gold 
2. Pavé Triangle Cuff - Rose Gold
3. Inspire Bracelet
4. Alice Bracelet - Silver
5. Pavé Arrow Cuff - Silver
6. Believe Bracelet
7. Devon Layering Necklace - Gold
8. The Hudson Tote Large - Black/Cream Clean Stripe (as styled by blogger Jacey Duprie of Damsel in Dior, which is a favourite blog of mine!)
9. Crescent Necklace - Gold

There were definitely many more items that I could have added to my wishlist, and I just might come the time my party ends, but these are my top picks! I realized after I put them all together that I hadn't chosen any earrings, which is crazy because I was oohing and ahhing over many different ones at the party. My bracelet game is in serious need of help, though, so that's why there are so many in the mix.

 

Have you been to a Stella & Dot party? Do you own any of the jewelry? What's your favourite piece, or what tops your wishlist? I'd love to hear!

Closet Remix

I was looking at my closet. Well, more correctly, I was looking at the space created by my very real need to do laundry, and I realized that I typically pair the same items together. I decided I needed to figure out a few new outfits, so here are five that I came up with that I have never worn before.

 Top: H&M (old, similar) // Skirt: Maurices (old)

Shirt: Ricki's (old) // Sweater: Tommy Hilfiger via Winners (old) // Pants: American Eagle (old, similar)

Shirt: Merona via Target (old) // Vest: Wind River, gifted // Jeggings (old)

Shirt: Hurley (old) // Blazer: Billabong (old) // Pants: Joe Fresh (old)

(P.S. The coral isn't visible when the shirt is on, so no worries about the coral and red clashing!)

Shirt: Suzy Shier (old) // Sweater: Smart Set (old) // Jeans (old)

Creating these outfits took no time at all and my mind is already putting together more with items from my closet. I'm looking forward to shopping my closet some more! What sort of looks do you think you can come up with from the items in your closet?

Shabby Apple

Boatneck dress / Cap sleeve cocktail dress / Lavander | Shabby Apple

I have been spending way too much time searching through all of the dresses available on Shabby Apple.  I really like the vintage look that a lot of their dresses have and I also really like the longer hemlines that always tend to go hand in hand with that style.  I actually haven't had the chance to look through the entire website (give me time!) but I have taken a look at all of the swimsuits and they're just as great!  I had the opportunity to wear one in a fashion showcase this past April and it was so hard to choose just one.
