Known as the ultimate girly girl (and we mean that in the best way possible), Emily believes there should be beauty in everything. So what began as a lifetime obsession for fashion and glamour, grew into a passion for celebrating self-care. She set out to defy the shapeless robes and mundane sweats that mis-matched her spirit, and created the Edith Hour Collection—encouraging women take care of themselves. Edith Hour was named after Helen Edith, Emily’s dearest grandmother who taught her to begin each day with her favorite lipstick, a beautiful smile, and her best foot forward!

On today's episode of How'd She Do That? host Emily Landers welcomes Buru Founder, Morgan Hutchinson onto the show!

Morgan started BURU after becoming a mother for the first time and quickly discovered that her wardrobe needed a refresh. She scoured online shops, high-end boutiques, and big box stores for wardrobe essentials that offered easy access in washable fabrics, with little success. So, with the help of her husband and now full-time business partner, Brett, Morgan put her former styling and lingerie designer experience to use as they founded BURU. 

Through several evolutions, the company has hit its stride with Morgan exclusively designing every collection with moms and working women in mind. And while 50% of the production remains overseas to offer an attainable price point, 50% is now produced in BURU's very own Los Angeles micro-factory that Morgan and Brett built one sewing machine at a time. (See more about BURU's factory and responsible manufacturing initiative here.)

You'll love hearing more about Morgan's story, from living overseas to becoming a mother, to her many different collaborations including one with actress, Brooklyn Decker, and more! We hope you'll share this episode with - well - everyone!

On today's episode of How'd She Do That? host Emily Landers welcomes Caroline Boykin onto the podcast!

Caroline is a professional artist with over 10 years of experience. While studying abroad in Florence, Italy, Caroline's passion for art was reignited and upon returning to the States she decided to pursue a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts. During a summer ceramics class, originally taken to fulfill requirements for her major, she fell in love with being on the potter’s wheel. With the encouragement of an amazing professor, her soul was lit on fire and she discovered her voice in this medium.

All of Caroline’s work is centered around the fragility in a moment. There can be joy and sadness and courage and fear all within a moment in time and in a breath of life. The subjects of female forms and flora are captured in the peak of the bloom and the second of a pose focusing on internal strength and external beauty. She creates these subjects in sporadic and impulsive mark making capturing movement and life. Texture, color, functionality, and line quality are all important aspects of her expressive artwork.

In this episode, Caroline shares the story of the early days of selling her first pieces of art, to the journey of taking on the next big step to open her own LLC and pursue her art full-time due to the growing requests for her work. She shares some of the greatest lessons she has learned along the way, including never settling and always knowing your worth. You won’t want to miss this lovely conversation, one you will likely want to send to a friend!
