If you’re wondering why Ashley looks so different, it’s because we actually have a guest this week on the blog! We are so excited to be joined by our beautiful friend, Stephanie! This blog is all about sharing inspiration, and that’s exactly what Steph is for us, so we can’t keep her to ourselves any longer! She has inspired us with her friendship, style, sass, and intelligence since even before our military days and has been supporting us on the Stella Valle journey from the beginning; she hosted our first trunk show at her house!
Steph and Paige have been best friends since high school, and she is now an integral part of our Stella Valle family as the Director of Finance & Operations. And that ‘BOSSY’ purse she’s holding? Let’s say that’s a good description of our Stella Valle director. Now before you judge us for insulting our friends, let us clarify that we absolutely mean this as a compliment. In the spirit of our new Simply Complex line, we are taking back the terms that, for too long, have been used to diminish women. Steph brings so much joy to our lives and success to our company precisely because she isn’t afraid to speak her mind and get things done! She embodies the complexity, power, and chicness of the Stella Valle woman.
Speaking of chicness, let’s talk Steph’s style. It’s a style blog after all, and our editor told us we had to stop praising her personality and get back on topic. (Just kidding… we don’t have an editor…) Steph is rocking a burnt orange trench dress, perfect for showing off her bold personal style while still conveying her priorities as a driven career woman. It’s a statement dress for a lady who loves to make a statement (in case that wasn’t obvious from the purse). She paired it with matching cage sandals, English Bazaar earrings, Belgium bracelets, and Rio de Janeiro rings. Paige is showing how to rock that same warm color as an accent with a floral print for spring. Her look is finished with the Edmonton earrings and Rio del Mar rings.
We know that you also have friends who help you to be bossy, bold, and statement-making. The ladies in all of our lives inspire us to take risks and be our true selves. Steph, as a friend first and an employee next, has always been in the background helping us and our company shine. We are thrilled to be able to turn the spotlight on this woman who helps us be chicer, bolder, and better. The Stella Valle woman is the kind of lady who lifts other women up. Stephanie is our ultimate Stella Valle woman.
Lots of Love,
Ashley and Paige
