Dear Stellargirls
Why is style important to a Stellargirl?
Dear Stellargirls,
A piece of clothing tells a story when you can revisit the place where you found it just by putting it on or pulling out of your closet. When I travel, I purposefully seek out locally owned boutiques so that whenever I put on that piece of jewelry from Dubai, my favorite sundress from Ibiza, or my leather and fur crop jacket from Florence, I am instantly transported back to that special time and place, and all the wonderful memories that come along with it. Finding your personal style reveals genuine authenticness without saying a word.
I look at style separately from fashion. A fashion trend may or may not suit me but the experience of how a glamorous gown with the perfect stiletto can affect my demeanor, and translate into taking a fearless stride into a room is an influential feeling. Rockin out my favorite Old Gringo boots with my G-Star moto denim at a concert edifies my exhilaration and a style snapshot is taken. Fashion evolves with trends. Elements of fashion are woven into one’s personal style.
I am a curator of fashion. I buy an item of clothing because of a unique weave or an unexpected cut out in the fabric. I collect vintage clothing and jewelry as well as accrue iconic designers pieces like timeless art. When I purchase an accouterment from one of the students at the School of the Art Institute of Fashion in Chicago, I know it is the only one with no other duplicate in the collection. I am in awe of these young talented designers. They are stellar at their craft! The students were inspired to design by perhaps their ancestors, a sunset, a road trip, a doll collection, or a dream. Their vision was translated to fashion. I get to wear the designs that came to fruition from that mood board of inspiration and I do not take that for granted. I am blessed to cover my shoulders with their creations and to know what inspired them. This is one of the reasons style and fashion have a sacred place in my memory and my closet.
Dress for yourself.
Love,
Teri

Clothes Call
Style isn’t just in the way we dress, it’s how you walk, talk and show who and what you are.
Why Strong Matters
Stellargirls get up, get moving, and slay our days!
Dear Stellargirls
Take care of you and be you because everyone else is taken. Strong is beautiful.
Dear Stellargirls,
Stellargirls soar! Our attitude towards genuine wellness is a happy, healthy, and confident self. We live out our quest by being active, fitting into our own mold, and looking beyond what popular culture deems as “perfect.”
Stellargirls thrive with vitality because we eat smart (but who doesn’t love a little chocolate?!), and we cherish ourselves from the inside out. We are motivated by our mind and body connection.
Strength is stellar-shaped. Celebrate, admire and treasure yours!
Love,
Teri

Dear Stellargirls
What are Stellargirl stories?
Dear Stellargirls,
My journey is just that. Mine. It’s littered with a roller-coaster of ups and downs, but I have learned so much along the way. I wouldn’t change it for anything. In the end it’s what made me who I am.. It doesn’t matter what you do in life, just live the stellar life!
Dear Stellargirls
Why is travel so important to Stellargirls?
Dear Stellargirls,
Travel is a big part of my life and through Stellargirl we all have the opportunity to share those experiences with each other as we explore new cities and countries! I believe travel is truly a great unifier; an act that allows us to take on new views and perspectives. I want to see the cultural meccas in the world’s greatest cities, view local styles and fashions, jump into a waterfall in the middle of the rainforest in Australia, dive the Great Barrier Reef, take a sand buggy into the rolling hills in the hot desert in Dubai, and stroll through the markets in Marrakech in search of a rare, silken fabric.
These grand moments are the stories that we’ll never forget, but all the little memories are just as meaningful as a part of our travels. I’ve been terrified in a leaking boat as we traversed the packed waterways of Thailand in search of the perfect wooden bowls and the authentic kimono that was given to me in Hong Kong are enviable pieces from my travels that influence my style and fill my closet and home. I’ll forever remember skiing the slopes in Whistler, BC with my family, walking the beaches in Mallorca Spain, the black sand in Tenerife, strolling the endless cobblestone streets in Paris, walking the Red Light district in Amsterdam, exploring the dozens of hidden beaches Ibiza, climbing the steps in Gaudí’s Surrealist Park in Barcelona, wandering into a pub in Dublin and hearing the best Bon Jovi cover band ever, gingerly climbing on the back of a rickshaw in the scooter littered streets of Vietnam, or wrapping my body, head and face and being totally awe inspired by the mosques in Abu Dhabi. Simply ALL incredible! ALL forever ingrained in my mind! And ALL blessed in my heart!
Love,
Teri

Dear Stellargirls
My beauty routine is simple. My morning ritual begins with the rise of the sun and a strong cup of coffee! After that I sip a glass of warm water with lemon and a splash of apple cider vinegar. My face receives a spritz of Avene mineral spring water and a splash of my favorite SK11 Pitera potion. My daily schedule is different every day so my beauty protocol must compliment where I’m going, whom I am meeting, if I am getting onto an airplane, or heading out with family or friends! However, there is one product I never leave the house without applying.

However, there is one product I never leave the house without applying. We created our own special golden body armor, Stellargirl Glimmer Lotion. Its shimmer and glitter gleams on my skin and instantly puts a smile on my face! Our glimmer lotion moisturizers and dusts my skin like magic sparkles that as gold as the sun. It follows me everywhere I go and I get to leave a little happiness behind! Stellargirls, discover your brilliant beauty and shine like a star!
Love,
