It's only right to start this with an homage to my mom, my muse.


Her nickname was "bug" growing up, which is where our little ladybug mascot comes from. my mom is my best friend, and truly I wouldn't be who I am without her. While she's a jewelry designer by trade and often walks around the house in paint-splattered, metal-dusted clothes that should probably never see the light of day, when she shows up to a dinner party she sparkles with a magnetism that is completely unmatched. It's inspiring.

And her closet… don't even get me started.

The day I'm able to fit into her vintage black runway Michael Kors knee-high boots, it's over for you guys.

The ultimate painted lady.

I love you, bug.
