Hello friends, and happy Friday.  I have the most marvelous news !

But first, have you heard of Stella & Dot?  Stella & Dot is a relatively new line of jewelry that has everybody talking.  Babes, it’s all the buzz. 

Stella & Dot’s gorgeous pieces have been featured in In Style, Lucky, Teen Vogue, Better Homes and Gardens, and Cosmopolitan magazines, as well as the New York Times and all over television.  See all the press right here. 

Now check out a few of these spreads 

I have perused this site several times and I am smitten with so many of these pieces. 

So here’s my sassy and classy giveaway that I’m bringing to you, courtesy of my friend and Stella & Dot stylist Jacquie.   

One lucky winner will receive this La Coco Brooch Necklace, inspired by style icon Coco Chanel.  It is a $98 dollar value, and isn’t it stunning?   I want one !

What I love about this necklace is that this double chain of two different sizes is paired with a brooch and can be worn eight different ways, depending on the look you want.  And the brooch will be updated every season. 

This piece comes apart and can be restyled however you choose:

I can so see this paired with my jeans and a great top.  No fair one of you gets it.  *Pout* 

But here are some of my other favorite Stella & Dot pieces I’m considering buying. 

 Garden Party chandeliers, the Kelly cuff, Charlize teardrops, and the Bloom Flower Ring,
