SPRING TRENDS REPORT: Accessories to Go, Please.

Our Spring report on the Accessories we saw last fall in Paris, is now arriving and the trends, are in. Bold, Stylish, Colorful and Chic.

With an emphasis on great colors, world themes, glam classics or unique materials,  accessories are all about trends. But what about your own personal expression?  STYLIST PRIVEE has found a company that has edited the top trends and presented them in a unique and accessible way. That's because the company has a nationwide corps of trained stylists, who are busy bringing the goodies right to your neighborhood. The Stella &  Dot company is a direct sales company that showcases accessories at private trunk shows.  They've also put the social media channels to work so you can share the fun with your friends and family, too.  Do you love J-Lo's diamond hoops?  Check.  Ethnically inspired bangles or the Palm Beach look of Grace Kelley? Check. Vintage Hollywood rhinestones? Check. The accessories collections are fashion savvy and reflect the smart thinking that has already made it one of America's fastest growing new companies.  The Wall Street Journal loved the business model but we just love the great stuff.  Finally, there's that great name, Stella and Dot, after the founders grandmothers, whom they honor as the great women they were.  The company is designed for just for busy women and their unique talent of creating community.  It's very 21st Century. 

Let's face it, accessories can be confusing and its hard to know where to start or what you really need to update your look each season.  No worries here, each season will be presented by someone you know and trust.  The quality, prices and return policy are truly stellar.  Let's face it, who hasn't made a few shopping bloopers late at night on a shopping channel? Also, you can host a party in your own home, invite the local stylist and get in on the fun and profits.  Our close up look at the quality and prices made us true believers.  Already featured in major television shows, In Style magazine and on the red carpet these 'out of reach' trends are now accessible for the rest of us.    


Our favorites pictured here are bold, clean, and witty. We promise there is something, for everyone, even your daughters in that in between age can get in on the fun.

STYLIST PRIVEE:  Confessions of a Bohemian Shopper

SPRING PEEPS are in Fashion: We know Trends...

Can it be true?  Are the PEEPS in residence once again?  Then, it must be spring!

 Yes, the impossibly bright colors of PEEPS have taken the POP culture by storm with the latest contest winner's released for this season by the Washington Post.  But, no matter if you love to eat them, Tweet about them, or just plain geek them, the PEEP brings smiles and laughter to even the most serious.  Yes, even Janet Reno is on the Peeps FACEBOOK page. I mean, seriously?  Wow, do you think she really eats them?

OK, so what does this have to do with STYLE?

We admit its a stretch, but the colors, are truly mind boggling, bringing to mind the delightful fashions of the 1980s club years, in Satin, no less. Or, those  Patent leather sky high pumps by Dior or Jimmy Choo come to mind.  Love that.  Or, perhaps you're contemplating a Peeps colored pair of Topsiders or swim togs for the season or (wait for it) the candy colored IZOD t-shirt to stun your friends at the country club.  EIther way, whether you just like to eat 'em or get inspired by them, we think their job is to make us happy. We sometimes like to eat them, but, then, we pause and realize we've just eaten something REALLY blue.  But, thats OK.  

In a world filled with well serious issues, we'd just as soon have our peeps, and, eat them too.
