You’ve said that “pink is a lifestyle” (a phrase you also sell emblazoned on a baseball cap) - is it safe to say that this shade is also your favorite color?
"Yes! Pink is definitely my favorite color - pale pink, to be exact. A neutral blush. I have always been very picky about coloring, even as a child LOL! I just think this shade is a happy color, and I bond with others who feel the same! And yes absolutely, pink is a lifestyle."
"In terms of materials, I try to source a lot of my items from other small businesses, local fabric stores, and Etsy. I spend a lot of time finding the perfect shades of pink and quality fabrics/trims. I order a lot of my pink trims and laces from a small shop in France. Quality is number one. I have a creative brain that is hard to shut off once I get an idea in my head."
