“You know how your iPhone automatically brings up photos for you? Recently, a photo of me at age 5 happily holding an American Girl doll came up, and it reminded me of how I was obsessed with the fashion world from a young age. After studying Communications at the University of Southern California, I worked in the hospitality industry for a year before coming to FabFitFun, but I was laid off in February 2020. I was without a job or direction, but I needed an outlet for my creative expression, so I decided to start my own fashion business. Millennial DecoratorsAt the time, it was just an Instagram account showcasing my home and life, mainly vintage decor. That’s how I got started with Vintage Drops. At first it was just home goods, but one day I realized I had accumulated 9 pairs of vintage shoes, including 1 pair of Celine and 2 pairs of Chanel. I asked people if they were interested and they all said yes. The first set of Drops sold out quickly. I was literally selling them through DMs, and after about a year of that, I created a new set of Drops. Actual website.
my ‘Sink Series‘ It was also impulsive. I was doing a shoot for Drops in a hotel and they had these products around the sink. I arranged them in different ways and posted. Brands loved the concept and started asking me to create content for them. I’ve worked with brands like: Diu, meritand Milani CosmeticsI recently IRL Sync Series Towards the release of Summer Friday Dream Lip Oil It’s about creating things that people love. When I put together a collection, I think about a story: “Who is this girl? Where is she going? What shoes is she wearing? What does she like?” That determines the products and accessories I include.

Lord’s Glazing Milk As a moisturizer, I like to mix Sonsee’s Super Serum and Furtuna Skin Face and Eye SerumWhen I remember, I wear sunscreen. I know I need to get better at it. To be honest, it’s been a struggle, it took me a long time to find a sunscreen that didn’t give me acne. Supergoop! Unseen SPF 40 It’s great in that respect.
I wash my face twice a night La Roche-Posay Toleriane This is a moisturizing face wash recommended by a dermatologist. It’s very gentle.

Clean Skin Club disposable towelsSince then it has been kept to a minimum. Summer Friday Jet Lag Mask It is highly moisturizing and prevents acne. Sonsee Multi Moisture MaskCombination of Kate Somerville’s Delicate Cream and Eradicate Gel It was actually very effective at calming my irritated skin and fading my acne scars. After using both every night for about a week, I noticed a pretty big difference. I don’t know if I was overdoing it, but it did help. Chanel Retexturizing AHA Peel, Chanel Pro Maskand Chanel Le Lift Pro Serum Also great for spot treatments. Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay I’ve been drinking apple cider vinegar since I was 15.

hair
I love my natural hair color because it reminds me of Charlotte York. But gray hair has been bothering me. No one told me I’d be gray at 25.

I’m a square girl through and through. I’m all for the millennial thing. But because I play with shoes all day, I rarely get to wear nail polish. Instead, my pre-bedtime pampering is a five-minute treatment with a cuticle scraper tool I bought off Amazon. It’s pink and white and not at all aesthetically pleasing, but I keep it by my bed. Chanel moisturizing and strengthening oilIt has a wonderful camellia-like scent. chanel hand cream or Sidiya hand serum“… There’s no way I’d ever go to bed with dry hands.”
