Bling

You can find Stella & Dot bling, which has been featured in many magazines and on lots of celebs as well (name drops: Paris Hilton and Viola Davis), through independent stylist Amanda Mammele.  But you don't need to be famous to afford Stella & Dot; much of the line is under $50.

Gluten Free Pizza (and a New Website Too)
