How'd She Do That?

HOLST + LEE believes jewelry can be the most transformative thing you can wear. These words spoken by the iconic Iris Apfel is the core principle and inspiration for Natalie Holst’s company. Her collections are inspired by the vivid colors of art, music, nature and the symbols that make life beautiful and fun.

| HOLST + LEE | was founded by Creative Director, Natalie Holst, in New York City in 2012. Before launching | HOLST + LEE |, Natalie trained with Proenza Schouler and Marc Jacobs by day, and by night she worked in the hub of New York’s nightlife scene, where she witnessed the best in outrageous cutting-edge fashion. Craving a fusion of art, texture and fresh design in accessories that she couldn’t find anywhere else, Natalie started making her own jewelry, which captured the attention of everyone she came in contact with. It comes as no surprise that she quickly made the leap to introduce | HOLST + LEE |, which has grown exponentially since. We know listeners will enjoy this episode!

Today’s guest is Laura Park of Laura Park Designs. A self-taught artist, Laura’s passion for painting began in her childhood as she explored the world of color in her grandmother’s art studio. Laura took to painting full-time in 2012, pulling inspiration from her travels and personal experiences. Before long, Laura’s art started to gain recognition, leading to features in several well-known galleries in Charlotte, Raleigh and Atlanta.

Laura Park Designs launched in 2016 after Park began photographing her art and creating digital patterns that could be transferred onto textiles. Creating pillows from her vibrant signature patterns, Laura launched her designs at the New York Now trade show and the brand took off. What began with pillows has now carried over into wallpaper, lifestyle accessories, tabletop décor and more!

Laura’s flagship store is located in Charlotte, NC where she resides with her husband Trip Park, also an artist and cartoonist, their four children, and three dogs.

Happy Easter Weekend! In today’s quick 10 minute episode, I am sharing an update on why I have decided to put our Patreon channel on hold, how excited I am to focus on our e-commerce, and a personal update as we buy our first house! I am taking time to sit back and enjoy this holiday weekend! I hope you can do the same. I’m thankful for this community!

Today's guest, Katy Allen, is the founder of Artful Agenda! When Katy started Artful Agenda, she didn’t know a thing about creating a digital product or service.

Katy had to meet with a lot of people, ask a lot of questions and work a lot of long nights, but she wouldn’t change a single minute. Creating Artful Agenda has been the most exciting and rewarding professional experience of her life and we can't wait for you to hear the story behind the brand today.

It’s her passion project, and nothing makes Katy happier than watching it help other people live fuller and more inspired lives. She hopes we love using it as much as she loved creating it.

Today's guest is Love Shack Fancy Founder, Rebecca Hessel Cohen.

Rebecca has built an ultra-feminine empire with her lifestyle brand full of florals, bows, and lace. As a former fashion editor, Rebecca honed her style and aesthetic before designing her signature 'Love Dress' which was created for her bridesmaids in 2010. This style dress would then become the foundation for the LoveShackFancy brand which launched 3 years later (in 2013) and the beginning of the global business which now includes 17 stores and wholesale partnerships with nearly every major retailer.

Rebecca and LoveShackFancy just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and continues to grow at a rapid rate with numerous successful partnerships and collaborations under its belt, including Gap, Pottery Barn, Bogner, American Girl, Larroude and more. It continues to expand categories, growing from its foundation in ready-to-wear to a full lifestyle brand with LoveShackFancy beauty launching this past September.
