How'd She Do That?

Welcome to Season Three! Today's guest, Riley Sheehey is a watercolor and multimedia artist and textile designer. 

Before becoming an artist full-time, she taught elementary school art and developed a love for whimsical styles and playful details.  Her artwork reflects this childlike view of the world with fun color palettes and attention to detail that evokes a viewer’s curiosity. She specializes in watercolor illustrations and surface design and has enjoyed the challenge of expanding her practice to incorporate textiles and wallpaper.  

Riley lives in Falls Church, Virginia, with her husband, daughter, and dog. Listeners will love getting to know Riley in today's episode!

Today's guest, Jillian Moorhead began her fashion journey at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Prior to graduating, she landed a role with the iconic House of Chanel in the accessories department. It was here that she further developed an appreciation and love for all accessories. Following Chanel, Jilly embarked on a fifteen-year tenure with Ralph Lauren, where she notably worked closely with Mr. Lauren and team for the launch Polo for Women. Additionally, she liaised with luxury retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue, Harrods and Neiman Marcus to oversee the in-store assortment of the RL brand.

In 2015, Jilly relocated to Jackson Hole, Wyoming with her husband. Recognizing the drastic change in culture (and temperature), Jilly began developing the idea of a luxury, lifestyle accessory that married her city roots to the beautiful landscape of a winter resort town. Channeling her feminine and classic aesthetic, she created a luxe, colorful, warm and sportif accessory at an accessible price.

Stay warm on the slopes or at the beach this winter (with Powder Puff) as you listen to our final episode of the year!

Today's guest, Kimberley Cohen, left home at an early age to discover the world.

Kimberley spent 8 years in the United States splitting her time between New York and Los Angeles. She studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles and her first professional experience was in fashion. Inspired by the pioneering business spirit of the West Coast, she quickly embarked on the company’s great adventure, launching a seasonal furnished rental business in Los Angeles. 

In 2015, equipped with this international experience, she joined the growing family group and became Maisons Pariente’s Artistic Director. Her focus is on the identity of hotel projects, their positioning, promotion, and their sourcing. Curious about the spirit of the times, nothing is more exciting to her than imagining the atmosphere of a place, from the tableware to the olfactory signature and the choice of bedroom amenities, a special touch for guests of the Maisons Pariente hotels - which include some of the most beloved hotels in the world! 

Today's guest, Caroline Bramlett, began LCB STYLE as a creative outlet during her freshman year of college as a fashion design major, and when her college path took a nontraditional turn (which you'll hear about in today's episode), her blog grew into so much more! Since 2015, Caroline has been creating fashion, travel, and beauty stories to share with her readers and friends on LCBSTYLE.COM.

Caroline has been thrilled to partner with fashion and travel brands, hotels, and destinations around the world to bring products and places to life through visual storytelling on my site and social channels. 6+ years of creating professional content for her blog + social channels led her to discover and embrace the passion she has for helping others create beautiful imagery.

Upon moving to Palm Beach, Florida in 2019, Caroline began offering photography services to clients. Working with photography clients is now her main focus of work, and she feels so lucky to work with brands, creatives, designers, couples and families from across the country to create striking images that share the story of each brand + individual in a beautiful way.

With experience being both in front and behind the lens, Caroline brings a unique perspective to photoshoots, helping clients create images that inspire and perform well across platforms. We know you'll love hearing her story!
