Nos Apenas Comecamos!

Nos Apenas Comecamos!  That means "We've only just begun"  Those were the words uttered by Founder and CEO of Stella & Dot recently at our National Sales Conference, Hoopla!  She spoke how the company has grown so much but how we have so far to go and how much incredible opportunities are available with this amazing company.

Check out a few highlights of her keynote speech here:

Voce Ama Bolsas?

Voce Ama Bolsas?  (Do you love handbags?)  I don't know about you but there is just something about a good leather handbag, I love the smell and the feel of them.  I have tried various fabric handbags in the past because they were really cute and you could get embroidery on them, which I loved because I have an unusual name, but the bags just would not last like a good leather bag.  So after a few months of use, I would go right back to my leather handbag.  And I have always loved name brand luxury handbags, I plan my vacations around the fact that there is a Coach Factory Store in the neighboring city.

So you can imagine my delight when Stella & Dot announced that we would be carrying handbags.  And not just any handbags, but premium luxury handbags! Priced 20% less than Coach, Kate Spade and Marc Jacobs.   I swooned!

The bags will be out in a few short weeks.  Women's Wear Daily, the premier publication about fashion got a sneak peek at the handbags and wrote a great article about them, check it out:

Portuguese Fashionista

Welcome to my Blog!!!

I have created this blog to talk about my adventures as a Stella & Dot Independent Stylist and my adventures while I learn how to speak Portuguese.

I know you are probably wondering, are you or your family Brazilian?

Nope!  My husband and I are learning Portuguese so that we can talk to a growing population of Portuguese speaking people that are moving to Phoenix for a voluntary missionary work.  Tem sido muito interessante (It has been very interesting)!

Your next question might be, what is Stella & Dot?

Stella & Dot is a affordable luxury brand of jewelry, starting in August, we will be carrying premium leather handbags too!  We have been featured in countless magazines such as InStyle, Lucky.  We sell our product exclusively through independent stylists that conduct in home trunk shows, personalized styling appointments and on-line on our virtual e-boutiques.

On this blog I will share fashion tips, Stella & Dot news, and my tales of trying to learn and speak portuguese.  So I hope you will stop by from time to time and enjoy my stories!



Ficar Fabuloso! (Stay Fabulous!)
