May Newsletter
Shawna Florness, Lead Stylist at Stella & Dot
Hello Spring!
Whether you are doing a little spring cleaning around the house or dusting off your golf clubs, I hope this newsletter finds you well and excited for warmer weather as much as I am.
I'm so happy to see the snow gone (finally!), the grass turning green and the sun shining! Time to officially put away my winter boots and bring out the capris and flip flops! I'm sure I'm not the only one tired and bored with the grays and blacks of winter!
As the days continue to get longer, I welcome the sounds of frogs and ducks on the pond, the sound of a lawnmower, the smell of a fresh cut lawn and steaks on the BBQ and I look forward to sitting on a patio sipping my favourite cocktail. Soon my friends, soon!!!

STYLE TRENDS
Gold continues to be a huge trend. Look around the next time you are in the mall - its everywhere! Mixing metals is another on-going trend too. Don't be afraid to mix gold and silver bracelets together or silver and rose gold. Mix it up! Have fun! The old rule that your wedding ring has to match the rest of your accessories is soooo long gone!!
Arm parties continue to trend as well. Why wear one when you can stack 2-3 together? With respect to bracelets - the more the merrier in my opinion! :)
I am loving all the colors trending this spring - white, turquoise, coral, geranium and citrine. Color makes me happy! I always gravitate toward my "Steady-Eddies" - a basic solid tee or tank and a pair of jean capris or shorts but I love adding a pop of color with some of my favorites from the spring/summer collection. Adding a colorful necklace, bracelet, scarf, or bag to your outfit is a great way to put a little pep in your wardrobe. In this issue, I will focus on two of my favorite colors for summer - white and turquoise!

Summer Whites
When I think of white - I think summer and a tan (and a mojito on the side!). We've got some beautiful bracelets and necklaces that will look fabulous all summer long and are versatile enough to wear into the fall/winter season too.
I love our new summer Cady Wrap bracelet with it's brushed gold and white stones, silver edging and just a hint of sparkle! The lambskin leather is so soft you can't even feel it when you have it on. I literally cannot stop wearing this bracelet! I especially love the Cady paired with any of our white necklaces - the Sahara, the Mallorca or the 5-way Stone Sutton.

Sahara Pendant + Rebel Pendant
If you already have the Rebel pendant - you'll love wearing it with the Sahara! Awesome combo.
Mallorca Pendant
I've been wearing the Mallorca a lot as well. Can dress this one up or down - love the sturdy chain on this necklace.
Stone Sutton (5-way) in White
The Sutton screams versatility! Wear it long or short or take off the bottom strand and wear it on its own. This necklace originally came out in a mixed metal and it is still one of our top sellers. The queen of versatility is now available in mixed metal, white stones or green/blue stones!
Turquoise
Summer would not be complete without a little turquoise. Head to work, hit your favorite patio spot or head to the Calgary Stampede in style with any of these gorgeous pieces!
Rory Necklace
This necklace is stunning. Love it paired with a white or navy top.
Sardinia Bracelet and Aviva Chandeliers
This bracelet is equally gorgeous. Love it paired with the Rory Necklace.
Sanibel Pendant
The Sanibel came out last summer but continues to be a top seller for me. It can be worn doubled up or long and the stone is reversible too - beautiful creamy aqua on one side and smoky brown glass on the other.

Everything always looks better in person. Even I have trouble deciding which samples to order and I do this all the time! I can remember thinking some of the pieces in the catalogs were "hideous" (ssh...don't tell head office - he he)! After seeing some of these items rise to our best seller lists, I had to see it to believe it - now they are some of my most favorite pieces!

MORE OF MY FAVOURITES!
Elodie Necklace
Dress it down like this or dress it up! The coral and green hues are gorgeous and it goes with everything! Looks especially great on black making it a great all year round piece as well!
Milana Tassel Necklace
Artisan-inspired mixed metal beads give an effortless boho chic feeling to this day to night piece. Wear with the tassel clipped on, or remove for a more everyday look.
Avalon Tote
I'm in love with this perforated tote in blush! Neutral color, perfect size, stylish. Check, check, check! Perforated bags are a huge trend this spring/summer. Use the Avalon Tote all summer long and into the fall. Comes with a linen pouch inside to hide all your personal items.
Everday Delicates
You can never go wrong with one of our everyday delicates in silver or gold. Love the idea of adding an initial charm to our Interlock Heart necklace.
Kimberly Necklace
This vintage-inspired piece originally in gold is now available in silver too!
Rose Gold & Peach Arm Party
The more the merrier!
