Story

I don’t really fit in with the “fashion scene.” I didn’t train to be a fashion designer. I didn’t intern for Vogue, and I didn’t spend a summer abroad in Milan. I grew up in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the land of sea oats, wild horses, and driftwood. From there, I moved to the Panhandle of Florida, trading a pebbly beach for sugar-white sand and wild horses for alligators. In neither place could I have been farther from 5th Avenue or Rodeo Drive had I been on the moon… but I had beauty all around me, and it seeped into my soul like the salt in my skin.

I became a designer later in life, after starting a family and realizing that if I wanted to surround myself with that beauty, I would have to create it myself. I learned to sew, began sourcing materials, and started down a path that led me to the creative hub of Nashville. Over time, my love for craftsmanship evolved beyond handbags and accessories—I found myself drawn to fashion, food, and the art of intentional living.

Now, my work spans across Shop Closet, Shop Kitchen, and Style Pantry:

• Shop Closet is where you’ll find timeless fashion, accessories, and jewelry—pieces that are versatile, well-made, and built to last. I believe in quality over quantity and creating designs that feel effortless, adaptable, and unique.
• Shop Kitchen is an extension of my love for food, featuring curated pantry essentials, artisanal treats, and thoughtfully designed kitchen tools. Cooking is at the heart of my home, and this space brings together the flavors and ingredients I reach for daily.
• Style Pantry Blog is where I share my perspective on style—helping women refine their wardrobes, embrace timeless pieces, and feel more confident in what they wear. It’s about working with what you have, adding only what enhances it, and making every outfit feel personal.

My style is not complicated or revolutionary. I make what I want: pieces with the finest materials, rich colors and textures, and no unnecessary adornments. Whether it’s a well-made handbag, a perfectly pleated skirt, or a beautifully composed cheese board, I want everything I create to be simple, versatile, and made with intention.

If you're looking for fleeting trends, I may not be for you. But if you’re drawn to things that feel timeless, well-made, and just a little unexpected, then welcome—you’re in the right place.
