Hello All,

I'm writing to share the latest news from Stella & Dot, which is that they have partnered with award-winning designer, Rebecca Minkoff, to offer a new jewellery collection. For those of you who've never heard of Rebecca Minkoff, you've no doubt seen her designs on celebrities, but just didn't know it! A global brand, Rebecca Minkoff offers a wide range of apparel, handbags, footwear, jewelry and accessories.




So, what about this collaboration with Stella & Dot? Well, the 9-piece Rebecca Minkoff jewellery collection was designed and handcrafted in New York City, and consists of earrings, both chandelier and studs, choker and statement necklaces, and a statement bracelet. Six of the nine items are available now, ranging in price from $49 to $69. Coming in November, the statement necklace and bracelet will be available, as well as another pair of chandelier earrings. To quote Rebecca, "We wanted to give a distinctive, feminine strength to the collection by juxtaposing the innate elegance of jewels against statement silhouettes."

Let's take a look at a few pieces, shall we?

Pixie Studs - $49

A feminine medley of color fans out beneath a geometric setting. These statement studs add a subtle pop to any outfit.

Music Video: "Hallelujah" by Pentatonix

Hi Everyone,

Happy June! Ha, seriously where the heck did May go? It was all one big blur for me. I guess that's what happens when you're stressed out. Speaking of which, I often turn to music when I need a mood lift or to calm my nerves. Some songs just make you feel better, you know?

Anyway, with music in mind, I thought I'd do something I haven't done in ages -- share a music video! The video below is by an amazing a cappella group called Pentatonix. I discovered them back in 2011 on a TV show called The Sing-Off. They were the Season 3 winners of that show, but I'm guessing the group may be unknown to many of you. The song featured in the video, however, is very well known and well loved by many. Check out Pentatonix singing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."




Amazing, huh? Please take a moment to share what you think by leaving a comment.

Food for Thought: You're Different

Hello All,

Happy New Year --- and I sure as heck hope it is for all us. Buh-bye 2016!!

My first post for this year is a quote by a woman named Alfa. As someone who's never been much of a follower, I thought what she had to say was perfect for anyone out there who's ever felt like an outcast, or misunderstood, or whatever.

My sentiments, exactly!! Unique (and united) we stand!

Until next time,

Eddy
