Style for a Steal!

Estilo para roubar!  (Style for a Steal)  O que é isso? (What is that?)  That is when you get a great deal!  Who doesn't love a deal!  Here in the U.S. it is President's Day Weekend.  Many stores have sales going on right now, you might be able to go get that sweater you were eyeing for 25% off.  Some great deals that I know that are going on this weekend:

New York & Company, one of my favorite stores, has Buy One Pant, Get One Pant Free.  They have the best pants for if you work in an office and have to dress professionally, they are not only stylish but comfortable.

Old Navy, another great store, you can find some great dressy and casual clothes at Old Navy, I think some people forget about them, a lot of the items I get the most compliments on have actually come from Old Navy.

And, of course, Stella & Dot, we have a great sale going on right now for President's Day weekend, click on the Sale section and find styles up to 60% off, some just for this weekend only, such as:

The Jezebel Pendant Necklace, this is a super cute necklace with a ship motiff, it was inspired by a vintage locket, normally $34, you can get it for $20.40 this weekend!



Our Soho Wristlet, every girl needs a wristlet for when you are out with the girls at the club or at an event where you need to be chic and handsfree.  Made of genuine leather with a cool teal lining, it is what every fashionista needs.  Normally $68, you can get it this weekend for $40.80!

And then we have everyday style for a steal.  On a daily basis our styles are cheaper than the top designers, check out this comparison:

A Primavera Esta No Ar!

Spring is my favorite time of year, the weather is gorgeous, the flowers are blooming.  Spring is definitely in the air (a prmavera esta no ar)  You can see all the great new Spring Fashions coming in to the stores.  I went to Old Navy the other day and picked up this cute hot pink dress:

I plan to pair it with these two great new necklaces from Stella & Dot's Spring 2012 collection:

The Bianca Necklace.  The tassel trend is huge for Spring and this necklace looks great over dark colors.

The Serenity Stone Drop Necklace.  This is a hand polished dyed jade stone.  This pop of green looks gorgeous over hot pink.

Since you are making a huge statement with the necklaces, I will keep the earrings simple, these Essential Ball Studs will look great with both necklaces:

If you haven't been to the mall since the holidays, go ahead and go, it is a lot less crowded, and some great spring fashions are starting to arrive.

Outubro e "Breast Cancer Awareness" Mes

Outubro e "Breast Cancer Awareness" Mes.  (October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month) Nós todos sabemos alguém que foi diagnosticado com cancro da mama.  (We all know somebody who has been diagnosed with breast cancer)

I personally have been through a breast cancer scare when I found a lump in my breast, thankfully it wasn't cancer, but I can imagine what it feels like to get the news that you do have cancer.

Stella & Dot has a stylish way of helping to fight against Breast Cancer with our stylish Tribute Bracelet.  This bracelet is a tribute to all the women who have won the fight against breast cancer and for those that have not as well.  20% of the proceeds of this bracelet goes to the research for a cure to breast cancer.  Help the fight, by purchasing this gorgeous bracelet, it is my goal to sell 50 of these!  You can see the bracelet on my website: http://www.stelladot.com/davina and then go to Shop, Bracelets, and it is towards the bottom.

Oi!

Oi! (Hi!)  It has been a little while since I have posted.  I have been busy working on my Portuguese.  It is coming along.  Eu falo um poco de portugues.  (I speak a little Portuguese).  It has been a lot of fun learning.  We know a group of people that are fluent that have been helping us learn.  People that are from Brazil and Angola a country in Africa where they speak Portuguese.

If you are interested in learing a language, there is a great language program that works really well.  It is called Pimsleur.  It is a group of audio CDs that teach you how to speak the language, it is a lot cheaper than Rosetta Stone and very effective.  You are supposed to listen to one 30 minute audio recording a day, during the recording they teach you how to say different phrases, they say them then you repeat them back.  They say them during various times so that you remember the phrases.  It is amazing how well it works.  We bought several books on Portuguese from the bookstore that we are reading, but it is the phrases that I have heard on the audio recordings that I remember.

If you are interested in learning a language make sure to check it out.

Alguma vez você já foi a um desfile de moda?

Alguma vez você já foi a um desfile de moda?  (Have you ever been to a fashion show?)

I love going to fashion shows.  It is always so inspiring see how to wear clothes and accessories and what goes with each item.  Many times they put together a combination that I would have never thought would have gone together and I end up wearing that combination all the time!

Have you seen the new fall fashions on my Stella & Dot website?  http://www.stelladot.com/davina
Have you been wondering how to wear the fashions?  Been wishing you could attend a fashion show to see how to wear the jewels?  Bem o seu desejo é concedido!  (Well, your wish is granted!)  Grab your favorite drink and pull up to your computer and watch the wonderful fashion show of Stella & Dot goodies.  You will even get to see the new Stella & Dot handbags that will be launching in a few more days!!!!  Make sure to watch until the very end as the closing credits tell you where you can find the fabulous clothes too!

Kelly Ripa Ama Stella & Dot!

Kelly Ripa ama Stella & Dot!  (Kelly Ripa loves Stella & Dot!) 

This last Saturday, was Super Saturday in the Hamptons.  It is a posh event that happens every summer.  All of the major designers are there: Tory Burch, Diane von Furstenberg, Jimmy Choo, Theory and more.  The event is hosted by Donna Karen and Ariel Foxman of InStyle and the proceeds of the tickets go to help fight the cure of Ovarian Cancer.  Stella & Dot was honored to attend this event among all of these fabulous brands.

Kelly Ripa attended and loved the Serpant Bangle so much that our Chief Creative Officer, Blythe Harris, let her have the bracelet right off of her arm!

Then today, on Kelly's Fashion Finder segment she talks about her bangle and her love for Stella & Dot, check it out here:  http://www.dadt.com/live/fashion-finder.html?bcpid=1119323720&bclid=926289165001&bctid=1092738244001

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:
