THIS WEATHER = H O O P S E A S O N

the cool nights into the crisp day warmups are finally giving way the spring here.
flowers are showing off and spring greens are popping on all the foliage.
craving brighter colors to wear (aka anything other than neutral for me 😆).
and of course new hoops.
the REVERSIBLE CONFIG MINI CUSHION-CUT 3QTR HOOPS fit the ck-list perfectly. ✨

wow, this year has moved slow, then really fast, then rewound and ran out the door at the end. as one of the last OG GRAD COLLETS of the year states - MANIFEST - is exactly what has happened throughout each step within the year. accompanied by a very strong, consistent thought though. a word that sticks in my mind that sums up a lot of 2025 too - COMMUNITY. from friends, colleagues, customers and family, you all have been there all year in more ways than you know. continuing my promise to try new places, spaces, and encounters with new faces that presented new creative thinking and fulfilling experiments (some successes and failures for sure). plus continuing to try new forms and shapes and expressions of design that spoke to me and i hope spoke to you. it all has presented a beautiful and challenging year. and all I can say is thank you. thank you for showing up. THANK YOU for being so supportive and thank you for making 2025 pretty great. i wouldn’t be here without all of you.

happy New Year’s Eve and i’ll see you in the New Year! 🎆
