I live in jeans & a tshirt. It's a very special occasion that I venture out of this fabulous uniform ;)

My favorite tees are the PINK brand ones from VS normally always layered with one of these tanks.

So here are a few pieces that I like to add to my ensemble to make me not feel all grungy.

I hit my first "Stellaversary"! I have been with Stella & Dot for one year now, and I love it!!!

This company is seriously a dream for me. I have been able to take my longest desire of owning my own boutique and meld it with my life. I think that some skeptics thought I may give up, but I like to think I blew their expectations (or lack thereof), out of the water.

Here's the deal - MattyB & BittyBeau have always been my first priority. Pretty much I put my needs on the backburner as many moms do! (Why do we do this? We all know it's not healthy). Regardless, my life as a stylist is something separate from my men that I love so much. This is a time for me, with no mommy guilt.

I battled with having "girl's night" because of the mommy guilt. The guilt of leaving the baby while I'm off having a good time. I kind of re-programmed my mind with Stella & Dot. This is a way for me to financially contribute to our household!

Enough about all that though....

What other company do you know of that:
1. allows you to give yourself a raise each month
2. sets up totally obtainable incentive programs (free trip to the BAHAMAS for you & a guest!)
3. equips you with the free training to grow your business
4. lets you set your workhours

I still work full time. I haven't "quit my day job". It's nice to know though, that I have the potential of doing my Stella & Dot job as my "day job".

So here's my question: what could you or would you do with extra income?

Here's a little video of some fellow stylists & what their "blue card" has paid for:

Late to the game, but here is a recap of my Sunday fashion!

....and for the fact that I screwed up :) this is not Stella & Dot :(

But I'm pretty sure that our version is $1000's cheaper :)

DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA

What did you think about Brooks' exit??? All the hype this season over this particular episode - was it everything you hoped for!?!? :)

Well let's get down to it....since Des was sporting more bikinis this episode, I spotted more of Stella & Dot's delicate pieces - with the exception of one of the interviews.

I hope your Thursday has been well. Mine has been....t.i.r.i.n.g

BittyBeau had an allergy test done yesterday, which means he had blood drawn. It was so difficult! Telling your 15 month old to sit still while you pretty much lock him down with your arms while he sits in your lap is not easy! Poor little man was terrified.

Which led to a horrendous evening in our household. He did not want to be by himself at all. I think he was traumatized. So needless to say he slept in our bed - not his crib. So 2 cute little feet were in my rib cage or back at any given time during the night. Except when he was 1000 degrees and wanting to cuddle. Such a sweet sweaty child :)

All for 2 viles of blood which will hopefully bring clarity to his eczema!

So today - I'm operating on about 4 hours of sleep. (I know that's probably a TON of sleep for you...)
Which means I'm sporting some really awesome bags under my eyes!

My outfit today is brought to you courtesy of Nordstrom Rack, Buckle, Tory Burch, and Stella & Dot.




I am really more elated by my necklace & my sweater!


This necklace can be worn several ways!!!! It's called the Sanibel Pendant :)







Here's some design info for you....

You'll just flip over this reversible pendant. Wear long or doubled with removable S-hook. Decisions, decisions.

• Available in gold and silver.
• Gold with smooth dyed quartz shimmers on one side. Smoky facted glass on the other.
• Silver with semi-precious labradorite shimmers on one side. Aqua faceted glass on the other. 
• 34.5" long. Necklace length can be extended with our Bold Chain Extender.
• Wear long or wear the chain doubled with removeable s hook.
• Gold or silver plating.
• Lead and nickel safe.

So there is a removable "s" hook - which is the key to shortening it. You can play around with the length when you shorten it....it just depends where you clasp it.

Isn't it cool????
It's an insane amount of bang for your buck!

Home town date time! What did you all think?

Here are the Stella & Dot pieces I spotted on Des.

On Zak's hometown date & the sno-cone fun, Des rocked a cute motorcycle jacket with the On the Mark necklace in silver.



On Drew's hometown date....

Here she is rocking the Sanibel Pendant!



On Chris' hometown date....
And then Nate returned....
Talking with her weirdo, DB brother....does anyone like that guy??? 
Here she is rocking the Wesley Pendant.

Until next week, go check out all the new fab finds on Stella & Dot!!!

So was anyone else surprised to see some of the girls from Sean's season??? Is this a new thing the producers are doing? And did anyone else feel awkward when Des asked Catherine "how are things with Sean?"!?
