Review: stella & dot trunk party

Hi guys :)

So as some of you may know I attended my first trunk party for Stella & Dot last Saturday night. For those who don't know what a trunk party is, basically it is the best excuse for a personal shopping experience in somebody's house where you can relax with a glass of wine be surrounded by friends, family, etc., and shop, it doesn't get much better than that right? So Stella & Dot are very popular for these trunk parties as their beautiful unique jewelry and accessories are not  sold in stores so therefore, they have fully trained independent stylists who host the parties and do the selling for them. Its a very unique way of selling and buying and the experience in itself is just brilliant.

So this trunk party I attended was held by my lovely neighbor Tracey who was extremely welcoming and very hospitable. She ensured everyone who wanted one had a drink and provided beautiful food and nibbles throughout the course of the night. Our stylist Stella and Dot host was a lovely lady from Banagher, Co Offaly named Anne Lyons Byrne. Anne was so informative, welcoming and answered any questions we had. She had set up a beautiful display of a selection of Stella & Dot jewelry, scarves, handbags, purses, make up bags, you name it it was there. It was a fantastic opportunity to experience this stunning hand crafted jewelry and accessories. we could hold, feel, try on anything we liked. There was no pressure put on us to buy anything at all and it was so laid back and lovely you could just look and shop at your own leisure. Anne stayed for approx 3 hours and I have to say she was a fantastic host. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in holding one of these trunk parties as she was very friendly, down to earth, chatty, informative and confident in her work. There were also Stella & Dot books we could look through too to see further pieces of this stunning range. Near the end of the night we put in our orders of what we would like and paid there and then it takes about 4-5 days for your delivery and it is delivered by UPS straight to your door so there is no work involved for the customer at all. It is a fantastic set up and hassle free. 

Who are Stella & Dot?

So Stella & Dot are an American (San Francisco) based company. It was founded by a lady named Jessica Herrin, who was looking for something to balance work life with home life so she came up with this fabulous idea to give women the opportunity to be a parent as well as an independent working woman who could work around her children and set up a career for themselves. Another lady named Blythe then got on board with her and now they are both extremely successful business women who have opened many career opportunities to many women around the globe.
