Stylemaker Erin Busbee

You can never have too much style, be too rich or too thin, right? Around here we just love Erin Busbee and her eponymous Busbee Style. The girl’s style radar is off the Richter Scale. Plus, she wants to make this world a more beautiful place. She is offering a new style service designed exclusively for those who want professional expertise to ramp up their own style. Sign up and you can be among very few fashionistas to know about Busbee Style’s fabulous fashion finds, including unbelievable sale items. The great thing about it? Just send her your shopping wish list and let Busbee Style do the rest. She’s developed some great ways to work with her clients, too…

Busbee Style will send each subscribing client ten fashion recommendations throughout the calendar month based on the client’s shopping ‘wish list’ and Busbee Style’s knowledge of the individual client’s fashion goals, lifestyle, body type and budget. In the case of a new client, a free consultation will provide the necessary information.

If the client chooses, he/she may use the monthly subscription to inquire about one specific item. For example, if the client is searching for an evening gown, Busbee Style scours its insider industry resources and sends the client ten recommendations (based on as much information as the client can provide – color, style, fabric, budget). Another example might be shoes. If the client is looking for a fabulous pair of knee-high chocolate, leather boots with a chunky heel, Busbee Style will find the dream boot for you! The client will receive ten suggestions in his or her size and price range.

The client may also use the service to email pictures of looks they have purchased or put together themselves and get expert feedback. Busbee Style will let the client know why something does or does not work and offer suggestions to make the look more polished and sophisticated. (Limit: Up to ten looks)

The really cool part? If you decide early in the month you would like to choose a combination of the options above, that is totally fine. For example, you would like me to look at five of your recent purchases, but you also want five dress suggestions for your upcoming party. To utilize this option, the client must tell Busbee Style during the first week of the month.

Let Busbee Style do all of your heavy lifting. It’s just $100 a month and you can learn more at Busbeestyle.com

 

 

STELLA & DOT

January 3rd, 2012

After hearing so much about Stella & Dot from so many different people, I finally decided to take the plunge and  really look over the goods.  Admittedly, I was skeptical at first.  I am inherently repelled by home sales business models and anything remotely resembling a pyramid scheme.  BUT, Stella & Dot is different. No scheme.  No pressure. No pyramid.  Just fabulous, affordable jewelry!

Here are a few of my favorite pieces:

I ordered this necklace and can’t tell you how many complements I get when I wear it.  Simply put, it’s stunning!

Stylist Jen Sullivan sent me this mixed metal, cocktail ring that I adore. What is great about mixed metal is its versatility. You can rock your favorite gold or silver earrings…and not worry about coordinating.

Jen also sent this really pretty, charm necklace.  It’s perfect for a teen or a woman who wants a subtle, everyday pendant necklace.  You can throw it on with everything from a T-shirt to a silk blouse.

And, lastly, I haven’t seen this one in person, but I am thinking about ordering it.  Spring is going to be all about bold bling and bright colors. This necklace would be a great way to add a little pizazz to your spring 2012 wardrobe.

If you do order a piece, please help my friend Jen and order through her website – www.stelladot.com/jsullivan. (Any woman who can work AND raise triplet girls, deserves some support in my book! :)
