Stella and Dot Trunk Show and GIVEAWAY!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of hosting my second Stella and Dot Trunk Show and I have to say, it was a great time!  My Stylist (um, isn't it cook that they are called "stylists"!?) Anna Vig is just the sweetest lady and does a fantastic job of styling.  We had such a fun time trying on the jewels and having little bites of simple treats I whipped up.

 I did a quick and easy fruit salad ("recipe") to come :)

 Funfetti Cake Batter Dip (recipe also to come)

An easy fruit and cheese platter

And Mocha Brownie Bites (recipe to come)

 Oh and I had to sneak a picture of my new little niece, Ivy, and my cousin Elizabeth.  Two beauties!

So, Anna was gracious enough to offer two pieces for a giveaway on the blog!  SO fun, right?  These pieces are amazing!!!  Let me tell you a little about them!

The Bryant Park Scarf is a beautiful shade of blue and is super light and airy.  I'm someone who gets hot very easily and found that it's really the perfect weight.  I have the same type of scarf with an elephant and orange print :)

The second item we are giving away is the Eleanor Bangle which just happens to be sold out so you can't buy it any more! I was a little skeptical of this bracelet since I have bigger wrists and bracelets never a. fit and b. look right.  Well to my surprise, this one not only fit bit looked awesome!  I can only imagine how great it would look with a tan!  Kinda want to keep it for myself :) But I guess I won't….

To enter the giveaway there are a few options which are listed in the Rafflecopter widget.  You must use the widget to enter.  The cool thing about it is if you place an order through the Trunk Show I'm hosting (here is the link: http://www.stelladot.com/ts/omip5) you can earn FIVE entries!  The contest goes from today, July 1st to midnight on Monday, July 8th).  Email me at: MrsSchwartzsKitchen(AT)gmail(DOT)com if you have any questions. Good Luck!!!

Stella and Dot Giveaway!!!

Oh my gosh I could not be more excited to host my first giveaway!  And what a give away it is!!! My new friend Anna is a Stella and Dot Stylist.  If you haven't heard of Stella and Dot it is an amazing company that creates entrepreneurial opportunities for woman.  They have boutique-style  jewelry and accessories that are available exclusively through Trunk Shows, Independent Stylists (like Anna) or Online.

Many of the pieces have been featured on/in In Style, Gossip Girl, The Today Show, and the New York Times.  Oh and I have the Pegasus necklace (pictured above) as well.  Not to name drop or anything but, Kourtney Kardashian and I are basically BFFs, NBD.  Here are some other celebrities that love S&D.

Lucky for YOU, Anna has generously offered two items for me to give away on the blog!  First, the gorgeous Coco Clutch in metallic pictured below and you can click here for additional information.

She has also gifted us with the bea-utiful Plume Broach in purple which is pictured below and you can get the low down by clicking here. 

The two pieces have a total value of $182!!! They are fantastic and super versatile. Wear the broach on a necklace, your sweater or clip it onto the clutch itself.  I love the Stella and Dot website because they give you so many ideas on how to wear and use their jewelry and accessories!  

I'm sure you are now wondering how the heck you can win these right?  Well, there are a variety of ways and each way gives you one entry.  I'm using Rafflecopter so everything goes through the widget (below) but here is the breakdown:  First, you can tweet about the give away.  Second, you can like my Facebook Fan page .  Third, you can like Anna's Facebook Fan page.  Fourth you can visit Anna's stylist website, come back to the blog and let us know what your favorite piece is.  Fifth, you can follow my blog.  Easy peasy, go over to the right hand side and click "join this site."  Lastly, you can book a trunk show with Anna, then come back to the blog and click on the Rafflecopter saying that you did.  Anna is willing to travel 2 hours outside of the Twin Cities to host a show.  If you can't host an in person trunk show you can choose to host an online trunk show as well.  Let me know if you want more information about that and I can forward it on to you.   I will be verifying things with Anna so don't try to pull one over on us : ) 

Remember: everything has to be done through the Rafflecopter widget below and that is the only way to enter!  If you don't use Rafflecopter it won't log your activity and your entry will not be counted.  The contest will start today and go for a week.  So you have from January 16-23rd to enter. The winner will be announced and contacted on Tuesday, January 24th.  

If that wasn't enough, Anna has generously also offered the Trunk Show hostess rewards to be given away as well!   This is the breakdown straight from Anna because I thought it was a little confusing for me to explain, "If with the purchases from putting "Mrs. Schwartz" as the hostess at check out, there are at least 4 orders and the total is from $300- $500, the lucky winner would get 2 half price items and 15% of the sales in free jewelry.  If the total is from $500-$999.99, they would get 3 half price items and 20% the sales total in free jewelry.  If the total was $1000 or more, the winner will get 4 half price items and 25% of sales in free jewelry.  Essentially, the more purchases, the better the hostess rewards will be :)"  Once the giveaway is over I will post what the hostess rewards add up to and will give further details about that giveaway as well! So stay tuned! 

Anna also wanted me to mention that she is also running a special because of the giveaway on my blog.  For every $50+ purchase she is giving you a pair of earrings of your choice!  When you are making your purchase be sure to enter Mrs. Schwartz at check out and she will contact you to get your choice of earrings.  This special will run for the duration of the giveaway (January 16-23rd).  I'd pick these or wait, these no, these for sure.  Oh gawd, there are too many to pick from!

Good luck!!!  (Please note you do have to click "read more" for the Rafflecopter widget to come up)
