I love this photo shared on my new friend Raina’s Stella & Dot page on Facebook. It cracked me up, because it was a simple visual for us to give our men on how they can save Christmas! Yes, while it’s goofy and kind of makes men look clueless in the gift-giving department, for years women have been the victim of silly advertising aimed at them so I say this one is owed!
I also think it’s a pretty easy way to hint to your man that jewelry shopping doesn’t mean dealing with a snotty clerk at a jewelry store. With a few simple clicks (hopefully aided by some suggestions from you ahead of time), he can get you the perfect gift delivered right to the house well in time for Christmas.
I have a mad obsession with bracelets this season and thanks to some friends who are much more jewelry-savvy than me, I’ve been taught that it’s all about layering and there’s really no wrong way to pair up bracelets, bangles and more. I’ve learned about mixed metals and how big hematite in particular is this year.
So, when given the opportunity to choose an item from Raina Brown MacKinnon’s Stella & Dot site, I went right for this Luna Wrap Bracelet ($94).
I love how it gives the appearance of layered bracelets and includes mixed metals so it can match a variety of necklaces and earrings to complete your look. I wore my Luna Wrap Bracelet when I went to the P&G Moms event in Toronto last week and this photo was taken by P&G and shared online, and then Cover Girl shared it as well (I was getting a Cover Girl manicure at the time!)
Raina is based in Saskatoon but if you are anywhere in Canada, you can shop directly on her site and have product mailed to your home (shipping is $7.95). And, if you love this gorgeous Luna Wrap Bracelet and want it under the tree, you just have to send your man a link to this post, subject line HINT, and he’ll figure out the rest!
Psst, husbands and boyfriends, if you’ve been lead to this page, click on the link to Raina’s site, buy the bracelet, and wrap it up pretty when it arrives. Give it to your gorgeous woman at Christmas and tell her that something this gorgeous pales in comparison to her, but that you knew she wanted it anyway. And then tell her what a lucky man you are to have her in your life. My job here is done, people!
If you’ve heard of Stella & Dot before, or even if you have not, and are now interested in what this company has to offer, you can even sign up to be an Independent Stylist yourself. Says Raina about the chance to sell Stella & Dot, “$199 sign up fee gets you $350 in product of your choice, business in a box, 24/7 training, and support/coaching from me! New stylists earn back their investment in the first trunk show and profitable in the second – now that’s fabulous! 😉 The business is smart and stylish!”
If you’re interested in learning more you can email Raina here!
