This week, Stella & Dot launched a holiday line sightly different than previous years. Rather than the usual sparkle expected this season, the line features adorably adorned leather bracelets perfect for gift-giving.
Danielle Redner insists they help her channel Pat Benatar, but I'm reminded of a different short-haired dynamo: Watts from Some Kind of Wonderful, my favourite movie of all time. It's a John Hughes film (of course) and something about it just gets to me. As someone obsessed with social behaviour there is so much to contend with, like, the struggle to fit in, the dream to love and be loved and the whole process of learning how to relate to one another.
I see so much my own growing up in Watts. Especially in this scene where she's come to realize she's in love with Keith and she's desperately trying to cling to their friendship at whatever cost. Ugh. Unrequited love! It's so intense and it makes you crazy!

Adding a little credibility to the whole rockstar vibe, did you know Steven Tyler of Aerosmith loves Stella & Dot? Stella & Dot Stylist (and apparently my new hero), Carly Foote, met and hung out with this rock legend in Calgary.

You are an ambassador for jewelry-lovers everywhere, Mr. Tyler. Photo evidence:
