Get Your Rocks On: Elizabeth Cole Jewellery

If you say costume jewellery, what springs to mind? I'm getting piles of garish, plasticky, gems; the kind of woman who wears too much lipstick and an overpoweringly strong dousing of 'scent'; Joan Collins; the eighties and an ageing drag queen.

Time to draw a thick black cross through that perception, bling is back, and thank the fashion Gods its more awesome than ever.

Our current costume crush is queen of the flashiest baubles, jewellery line, Elizabeth Cole. These are the sort of jewels that have your heart racing and your credit card twitching and we want to get our little Mice mits on every single piece...

Frost yourself with Stella & Dot...

This weekend I spent my Saturday with all my favourite girlfriends in the comfort of my flat, sipping glass after glass of bucks fizz whilst casually browsing and purchasing gorgeous Stella & Dot jewellery. Perfection!!!


So onto how this all came about ... my lovely friend Emily has recently started working with San Fran based Stella & Dot company as a jewellery stylist. She essentially looks to work with women who are keen to host their own at-home jewellery trunk shows and then once arranged she pulls out all the stops in the style advice department! So Em asked if I would like to play hostess for the day and of course I accepted. It was really simple, I sent out an email inviting friends and then Em arrived on the day half an hour in advance to set up and display the jewellery. Once everyone had arrived we spent the afternoon chatting, trying on jewellery and generally having a super time. Everyone bought something and with the hostess responsibility comes rewards in form of jewellery credits - I'm hoping I might have enough credit to get myself a pair of these stunning gold studs - we'll see! 




The Stella & Dot jewellery has been featured in an impressive amount of fashion mags including Glamour and InStyle. Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester, otherwise known as Blair Waldorf has been spotted wearing a Stella & Dot antique embellished cuff (see below) and apparently Jennifer Anniston and Penelope Cruise are also fans!

I am majorly crushing over the following designs - pay day can't come soon enough! 



I heart this Mawi inspired statement necklace - aqua green and gold is a winning combo in my opinion...


The collection boasts a gorgeous array of delicate necklaces that the girls were really smitten with...


My lovely friends, Nikki, Charlie and Mo adorning themselves with the beautiful jewellery... 


Mini mouse and I being the thoughtful hostesses that we are, also put on a scrummy spread to soak up all the bucks fizz. The bite sized M&S carrot cakes were my fav!


Stack those bangles up, the more the better...


To host your own at-home Stella & Dot trunk show simply contact Emily Taylor here where you will find her details. It really is a great way to get all the girls together and do the thing us girls do best ... SHOP!
