Stella on Sale - Up to 60% Off Retired Pieces

If you fell in love with any of our Spring & Summer collection that is now retired, you will want to go ahead and take advantage of the fabulous post-Christmas SALE!!! from Stella & Dot.

I was very surprised to see our vintage-inspired Bird of Paradise statement necklace go so quickly as it just launched in January 2011. As a stylist with Stella & Dot, I've been trained about the quality of our product as well as level of specificity that the quality control consultants want to see. Because we are growing so quickly (we are one of Inc 500's fastest growing companies from 2010!), pieces can be difficult to produce in mass quantities at the standards level that Stella & Dot's requires or it can be difficult to source our semi-precious stones in consistent shades. I have to think that this is what happened with our Bird necklace as it is a great seller and fun to wear!

The same holds true for our fabulous Casablanca necklace from January's Morocco collection. The lightweight wood married with the sparkly CZ stones and delicate distressed ribbon was one of  my favorite Stella & Dot looks of the year. Pair it now with a turtleneck or with a sundress come warmer weather.

To make room for the new 2012 collection, I am offering my samples at over 50% off on my Facebook Fan Page.
Please take a peek and message me if you'd like me to mail any your way.

Love These Ideas from the Budget Fashionista

I have had so much fun reading the Budget Fashionista's tips over the years. She has a fabulous book and also a killer blog with all sorts of tips on how to stay fabulous on a budget.

Now in time for fall, TBF will be on Oprah sharing some of her tradmarked tips (read: don't copy them word for word). Tips range on how to not overspend and what your balance of "trendy" vs. "classic" pieces should be in your closet. You can get a sneak peak of them below:

Savannah Fashion Week - May 17 - 22, 2010

I was shopping downtown the other day at Terra Cotta & a cute gal who works there let me know that some of the local storeowners downtown have decided to start a Savannah Fashion Week.

I'm excited and immediately caught up with the events on facebook. Coming soon is a website (I'm told it will be http://www.fashionweeksavannah.com/).

Anyhoo, very excited about all this!
