my love of patterns comes from both my mom and her good friend karen, who was like a second mom to me. she is an art teacher and vintage/antiques seller, and is endlessly inspiring in her bold style and incredible taste. i’ve posted photos of her home in california here, and at my wedding here, and now if you’d like to see some of her everyday outfits, you can watch these videos here. she reminds me to have fun with clothes!
