Dear Garance…

Dear Garance,

I’ve wanted to email you for a while now to tell you how inspired I am by you. As a 21 year old student, I am struggling to craft and understand a career that is my own. I am interested in what is unreal and what is real simultaneously. I’m in awe of the fantasy and dream world that fashion occupies, and yet, unimpressed with the falsehood that comes with it — understanding even more so after listening to your podcast.

Do you have any advice for how to achieve a career similar to the one you have?

Thank you for the inspiration,

Isabel

Eloquent Héloïse

Our retreat in Morocco was a hotbed of effortlessly cool, multi-talented ladies. So it’s no surprise that we were compelled to feature another one of these cooler than cool ladies! Meet Héloïse! She’s a striking French beauty with an ability to not only whip up a seasonal meal, but set the tone and the atmosphere for the perfect dinner party. She became so well known for this curation that she started a company, Miss Maggie’s Kitchen, that publishes seasonal journals of recipes and curates a box of treasures to match the season. It started as a hobby, but with Héloïse’s refined taste, it simply grew from there. Read on to find out more about her style ethos and the inspiration behind Miss Maggie’s Kitchen!

The Fearless Fortunato Sisters

Lizzie and Kathryn Fotunato are the definition of yin and yang. They are twins with distinct perspective, skill sets, and hair cuts (Lizzie has a pixie cut, Kathryn rocks a longer style) that came together to create a powerhouse duo when they founded the accessories line, Lizzie Fortunato, in 2008 with the intent of slow production and thoughtful designs inspired by various cultures around the world. Adorned with exquisite hand-loomed embroidery and beading, the clutches, shoulder bags, and small leather goods are a natural extension of the line’s mixed-medium statement jewelry. This thoughtfulness in design and production is only heightened when you meet the sisters in person, as they couldn’t be kinder. Meet Lizzie and Kathryn!

My favorite thing about Jillian Michaels is her authenticity. She has something raw about her, incredibly honest, and I find that fascinating. Her story is one of an overweight child finding confidence through...
