Jeans for Genes Day - World Down Syndrome Day

In honor of World Down Syndrome Day (today, 3/21), my sweet friend Eryn, who is on the programming team for Gigi's Playhouse Houston, asked me to be a part of a cleverly named campaign supporting those who may have a bit different DNA and for those who love denim. The goal is to have as many people wearing jeans for genes on 3/21, which represents the third copy of the 21st chromosome!

Gigi’s Playhouse, which provides free therapeutic and educational programs for children with Down Syndrome, is working hard to open up a location in Houston. They are very close to opening and need help to spread the word about Gigi's services and meet their final fundraising goals! 

Gigi’s is asking the community to get involved today by wearing “Jeans for Genes” to increase awareness about Down Syndrome through social media and/or help raise money to support a Houston location of Gigi’s with a small donation. 

As a gal who loves jeans (and lucky that I can wear them while I rock my Stella & Dot business!) and supporting a diverse community, I had to say "yes" to help spread the word!

Speaking of denim, take a look at this beautiful photoshoot in honor of Jeans for Genes. The fabulous model, Leslie, was adorned in denim from the generous Tootsies (a Houston boutique) and photographed by the talented Traci Ling Photography. (Special guest appearance in these photos with their adorable second model, Theo, who wanted to join in the fun!)

  

 

I also styled my favorite spring denim in a couple different looks - and encourage you to share your "jeans for genes" or donate to support!

I styled my Mavi jeans (distressed/frayed angle hem - these are so comfortable!) from Stitch Fix, along with my Elegantees "Whitney" tee, and the Stella & Dot Natia necklace! 

I again styled my Mavi jeans (distressed/frayed angle hem - these are so comfortable!) from Stitch Fix, along with my navy Elegantees "Whitney" tee and my Stella & Dot accessories - including the gold large Hammered Hoops, Covet diamond "W" Initial Pendant with the Luna Pendant and saddle leather Sunday bag!

My friend and fellow Stella & Dot Stylist, Nicole Hensch, is also wearing her favorite jeans and jewels! You can follow her on Instagram at @nhensch10!

Nicole is rocking a great pair of bootcut jeans, along with her Stella & Dot Audrey Statement Earrings, multiple bracelets to create an arm party, and the Taj embroidered clutch!

If you would like to help raise awareness, please use the hashtags #JeansForGenesDay and #GigisPlayhouseHouston so that they can collect and share your photos on Gigi's Playhouse's social media and Facebook page to help spread the word or make $10 a donation in support of Gigi's Playhouse Houston!

Celebrating my 6 year "Stellaversary" as a Stella & Dot Stylist

Warning: long, reflective and proud post ahead. :) On Saturday, April 16, I was too busy soaking up a great Stella & Dot bootcamp/training and hanging out with friends that I forgot to share that it was my 6 year anniversary with Stella & Dot -- my Stellaversary!

Six years, y'all. That in and of itself is quite an accomplishment for me and my career. (Most people bounce around jobs every 2-3 years... and I personally did not stay at a job longer than 3ish years... unless you count babysitting, which I have been consistently doing for the last 15 years, ha! ;))

Over six years ago, I fell in love with the Charlize Teadrop Earrings I had seen on Jillian Harris when she was a guest on Extreme Makeover Home Edition! (She'd also worn quite a few pieces of Stella & Dot jewelry while she was on The Bachelorette, too, that I loved!) I had to see it all in person, so I hosted a trunk show... and because of that, I loved shopping with a fabulous discount and I had to have more! At first, it was all about getting more jewelry. I had no idea what I was doing, just finished graduate school and was working full-time in marketing (with a not-so-shopping-friendly income)... but I loved fashion (and dreamed of working in the industry) and wanted to earn a little extra money!

Truly, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made -- I jumped in and never looked back! Fast forward to three years after starting with Stella & Dot... I was depressed, feeling unfilled in my workplace and wasn't loving who I was as a person. But Stella & Dot was my happy place. My supportive family and friends encouraged me to follow my heart and my passion, and so I quit my "desk job" to really give this a go! It's been 3+ years since I made that leap, and I'm proud to say that I work full time for myself, as Stella & Dot Stylist, alongside various fun and rewarding part-time gigs!

In the last 6 years... I have:

• Purchased and paid off a new car
• Earned 4 all-expense paid incentive trips (to the Atlantis - Bahamas, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Puta Cana, Dominican Republic, and Montego Bay, Jamaica... next stop, half way to earning Costa Rica!)
• Promoted myself to 5 career ranks
• Received company-coveted accolades, such as Style Council and Style Council Elite
• Traveled to San Francisco, Napa Valley, Las Vegas and Orlando "for work"
• Styled ladies who were on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad
• Shopped THOUSANDS of DOLLARS in FREE product for myself
• Blogged over 200 posts of our gorgeous accessories as seen on TV shows, celebrities, in magazines and more
• Grown a team of 100+ incredible business partners across the US and in Canada
• Been given the opportunity to make 3000+ women to feel fabulous with at least one accessory (or lots of accessories ;))... along with a few good men who've purchased a piece to make their ladies feel special!
• And so much more.

Oh, and just this week, I earned myself one of Stella & Dot's FIRST EVER diamond necklaces, which are coming later this fall - so exciting!

But... I feel like the best (and most important!) thing I have received from Stella & Dot is the friendship and support of an amazing group of women, who I have grown to love and lean on! Beyond the business and the trunk shows, I have a support system that can rival any other sisterhood (just as much as my sorority sisters -- and a few have also joined me in on the fun!). They have been the "framily" that I never knew I needed. That in itself is worth joining us.

My passion for making women feel great in their own skin hasn't changed... but now, I realize that this business has been life-changing for me. I have a dream job, and I can't keep it to myself - this should be shared with others! I'm special... but not that special... anyone can do this! Yes - anyone. Even you. :) So many more lives can be touched by this opportunity -- and it's my new passion to help others find their joy and their own successes. With our awesome April sign up special, you should really think about joining our team -- fto pay for something fun, as a part-time gig to supplement your income or pay for a fun trip, or as big as replacing your current job to give you more freedom and flexibility!

We are looking for more Stylists in North America - the US and Canada, Germany, Ireland, France, and the United Kingdom. Please reach out to me for more information - I'd love to chat about how you can fit this into your life. Or share this post/my information with a friend! Who knows... you could be an integral part in helping change the life of someone you know by spreading the word about being a Stella & Dot Stylist!

I can't thank you all enough for your support... from every post or picture "like" on my Facebook page to your purchase... you have all been an amazingly huge part of this journey! I am so grateful for my supporters and cheerleaders, Fields of Gold teammates, Stella sisters and mentors, hostesses and customers - I love you all! ❤ Thank you for allowing me to find joy and pride in my life.

Stella & Dot - January New Stylist Sign Up Bonus

Happy new year... it's 2016! Time for a fresh start, a new beginning, a reason to make changes... all of those exciting things that come with starting over at Day 1. Today has allowed me to reflect on what my business has brought into my life, and it would be completely irresponsible of me not to share this opportunity with you.

Being a Stella & Dot Stylist has gone from being something fun that I did on the side to something even more fun and exciting that I get to call a CAREER over the last 5 and a half years! (Whoa, for real... I truly can't believe it's been that long!) Who would have thought? ;)

I have met some incredible people as a Stylist, made so many new friends, helped share the style with hundreds of women, including ladies who have appeared on The Bachelorette/The Bachelor, turned a passion into a profitable business, and have more jewelry that I've earned for free than I ever could have imagined. Oh, did I mention the amazing incentive trips? I'll be heading to Jamaica and bringing along my Mom, all-expenses paid for BOTH of us, in February, courtesy of Stella & Dot.

So... think about it... if you (or someone you know) might be interested in doing something just for YOU and joining me on the fun in the new year, we're offering a sign up bonus of an extra $100 in your choice of product for all new Stylists through February 1!

And here's a sneak peek at our Spring 2016 Collection: Inspired by vintage textures and semi precious stones, with a bohemian flair!

Now could be the time for YOU!

BEST case scenario: You find a tribe of incredibly supportive friends, a life-changing experience, get lots of stylish accessories and we get to work alongside each other! (And there's is so much more I could share here, but this could get really lengthy.)

WORST case scenario: You get $450 in free accessories for only $199 -- and it’s tax-deductible. ;)

The new year is about new opportunities and possibilities... stop thinking and let's start doing (together)! Chat with me... even if you're just curious... now is the time! You owe it to yourself -- and you know who you are!

Oh, and hey, look Mom, I'm famous! ;) Check out this video on the "whys" of a few fabulous Stylists, including myself (right before our fabulous company leaders, Jessica and Blythe)!

Friends don't let friends miss out on a 48-HOUR STELLA & DOT FLASH SALE!

These little pretties look stunning with black and white, cobalt blue, olive green, navy, grey, pink, orange, etc! You name it - yellow goes with everything. Plus, these earrings have graced the glossies numerous times and are fashion editor-adored!

Our ever-popular and celebrity-coveted Monterey Hoops are ONLY $19.50! For under $20, it would be irresponsible of you to not snatch up a couple for Christmas gifts, birthday presents, holiday Hostess gifts, or even a pair for yourself! You can rock these with a simple tee, a pretty cocktail dress at a wedding, or by the pool! These hoops are essential to your earring wardrobe! Update: 9/24 - These earrings have sold out!

Calling all SCARF junkies! We have TWO available during this flash sale! The Mauritius Capri Wrap - Indigo ($30) is perfect for a trip to the pool or the beach, or to dress up your plain white tee. The Palm Spring Scarf ($42) can be worn 10+ ways! Talk about a steal!

Both of these styles can also be rocked daily -- to brunch, lunch or on-the-go! If you don't have one you love yet, snag one of these today!

Did you know that Stella & Dot designers are the best in the business? One of our fabulous designers Charlotte (who previously worked and designed for Kate Spade) designed this gorgeous Riviera Statement Necklace! With versatility in mind, she designed the petals to be detachable for a 2-in-1 look! While it was originally $148, through tomorrow it will be only $88.80! That's $44.40 a look -- WARNING: This piece is a guaranteed to get you stopped on the street to be complimented by strangers! And who wouldn't mind that?

Now, you may be asking what's the best way to spend $21? The little gem we call our Capri Pouch - Mosaic Triangle would be one of my suggestions! Treat it as a clutch and you are ready to rock the town! Some of my customers use it to store their e-Readers or mini iPads for safety while in their handbag. I've even seen a fellow fashionista use hers as a wallet on a flight with her passport, lip gloss, boarding passes and credit cards in tow. There are so many ways to use it - and it makes a great stocking stuffer! Plus, the orange and cobalt blue colors are HUGE for fall! (Do you see a trend here with holiday gifts, yet? ;))

Don't delay - these offers expire on September 25 at midnight! Need assistance? Please reach out directly to me here:
