By By Lauren Bell | Photography by David Colwell | October 2016
Art from my sister: My sister, Dara, is an inspiration to me and the main reason I opened a store to begin with. This was a thoughtful gift from her and I love it so much.
Wallet: I splurged on this wallet at 37 weeks pregnant, in Vegas, on a buying trip. Thankfully, it keeps me organized and buyer’s remorse has never settled in.
Gundalow Juice: They have the best flavors ever. I love having a healthy start to my day while supporting a local business.
Grandma’s ring: My grandmother was very special to me and I miss her every day. Wearing this ring keeps her close to my heart.
Flowers from my garden: Having recently moved from city life to suburbia, our new garden and the fresh flowers from it help our house feel like a home.
Giving Keys necklace: Focus is a mantra of mine, and The Giving Keys is one of my favorite brands that we carry at the store. Each piece has such a great message.
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo: True magic for someone who loves to collect as much as I do.
Beautycounter lipsticks: I’m a big believer in safe beauty, and the colors of these lipsticks are so wearable for day and night.
Kork-Ease booties: Being on the move all of the
time with the store and my kids calls for comfort! These are my go-to booties for fall.
Last Mouse Lost gae from aMuse Toys: We own three
of these! A great game for the kids and something to fidget with at my desk.
