About Me

Samantha Tunador

Live in: Leesburg, VA
Originally From: Bluemont, VA (Far Western Loudoun County)
Profession: Independent Stylst with Stella & Dot, a boutique accessory line.
What I like Most About DC: I consider Washington to be my home and there is no place like home.  It’s the place I have grown up, grown my business and loving raising my family.  I enjoy everything we have right in our back yard from the mountains, waterfronts, to the small towns and the big city.  I love to go to the wineries, fall festivals, bike rides and shopping, especially in the boutiques of downtown Leesburg or Georgetown.  We are blessed by a great community, top schools, the best neighbors, family nearby and great friends all over the region.  We are in DC’s backyard which gives us endless fun and wonderful people that we meet everyday.
My Favorite Music Video:  "Happy" by Pharrell Williams
About Me: As a 40 something (really I’d have to do the math) raising two middle school aged children with my husband of 13+ years, I have had the good fortune to find an incredible company to work with that gives me the desired time freedom to put my family first, work from home and help women style their lives.  Move over Tiffany, David, Ann and Kate.  With Stella & Dot, named after the founders grandmothers, we get great joy out of designing irresistible jewelry at affordable prices.  The line has been photographed in 6 out of the last 12 InStyle Magazines, 2 pages in the October Cosmo and many more.  Check out the Inc 500 list, we are #4 in consumer products!  Style is our philosophy.  We share our line through trunk shows, with no glass cases or presentation but instead, in your living room where good friends shop together, inspire each other and simply take a break for style.  We have your every day, every way necklaces, chic statement pieces and we have incredible power necklaces.  It’s all over the red carpet and soon all over the DC area!  Our team is growing and wow is how.  I would be honored to share the line.  Shop online 24/7 at stella & dot.  Love a few pieces?  Let’s host a trunk show together, I would love to give it to you for free.  Want it all?  I’d love to talk with you about joining my team.
