I decided to host a small Stylemaker girls night party of my own, centered around the 15 pieces included in my ShopBox. Letting people see the great quality as well as feel and try on the products made it easier for them to purchase what I already had in my ShopBox or to order through the catalog or website. The catalog is a great way for the girls to see how to style the jewelry and you can also create your own mini look book before hand either styled on yourself of with flat lays. I just had a little slide show going on my tablet on the side of the table!

When planning my Stylemaker night, I wanted it to seem relaxed and a little like a cocktail hour with a side of amazing jewelry. By including a few bubbles, balloons, and sweets, it felt totally like a hangout with my BFFs instead of a typical “jewelry party.” One of the biggest hits of the night was one of my favorite spring and summer beverages, a champagne float. It is a light and refreshing beverage that is super easy to drink and tastes just like a dessert. We also munched on, bacon wrapped Jalapeños, chocolate covered strawberries and different types of cheeses. A quick tip, for your jewelry party – to avoid sticky fingers on the jewelry and a big clean up, choose foods that are easy to grab and eat right off the tray and easy to eat over conversation, opposed to things that may need a spoon, plate and lots of napkins.

Champagne Float

One large scoop of orange sherbet.

(It is usually better to let it sit out for a few minutes and soften a bit.)

Top with champagne of your choice.

Make a statement!
