1. How was your concept conceived?
My passion for fashionable affordable footwear, in 9 years, we’ve expanded to apparel, jewelry, purses, hats, scarves, and gloves.
2. What is your source of inspiration?
I follow other fashion designers but love Rachel Zoe's sense of style and purpose.
3. What’s your favorite accessory story?
Favorite pieces are local jewelry designers Beryl, Blush, Blonde and Bou Cou - I'm a huge fan of their bold, big pieces and vintage styles. Each piece can make ANY outfit.
4. How do you maintain authenticity in your work/styles that you sell?
I maintain authenticity by staying true to myself and true to what the customers want and expect.
5. Advice for new designers?
Find something unique - don't try to be like anybody else.
6. Name one “Don’t” for reader to keep in mind when accessorizing?
Do not OVER-accessorize - pick a few bold pieces that make a statement, that will get noticed, otherwise it’s too much and all gets lost.
My 2nd location just opened in Atlantic Station! Once it is up and running I will develop an e-commerce site!
