hi.

I’m Jess. You might already know me from my time at Beetlebug on 9th street, and if you loved that, you may love this too.

This is..

so why this if we loved that?

All I can say is .. the path wasn’t linear. Sometimes you have to go the long way around. Coast to coast, one way then five ways, we even tried making it edible, (foreshadowing?) We experimented with more permanent collections (which we enjoyed, so stay tuned for limited releases of THOSE things).. we’re even currently testing out scents, but something still felt off.. so we meditated on the past and in deep thought we said, you know what was really great?..

what was truly and deeply fulfilling?

That thing we did way back there. Way back at square one in a rose garden with a pair of kitchen scissors. Sometimes the long way around is still a circle, and we aren’t complaining.

so here we are. Square one, but also square 19-ish. and fresher. Much fresher. 8 years in the making fresher. Experiments gone wrong fresher. A wine stain on a tablecloth that’s been re made into a shirt and someone’s wearing it to an event - fresher.

and a lot more thoughtful too.

We hope you like it. If you don’t, that’s okay, maybe you’ll like the next time we mix things up.

  • I always wish I had a great story for this question, because it was truly a special place, but there is no big ending. No rent hike or pandemic related closure, we just worked really really hard and then we had to rest. After the rest I simply reset on something different. We hope you will continue to remember it fondly, as we always will.

  • For now? Its nowhere and its everywhere. While I may re-open a brick and mortar in the future, we are just online for now and all consultations are done in my studio or at the venue, occasionally with puppies. The good news about this- is if you are not NYC based, or are having a destination wedding, you can still reach out!

  • Sometimes! I still love my roots. Reach out to me via the contact page to set up a consult.

  • Please do, its my favourite thing to do.

    We will rotate home page selections seasonally, but if you have a special request, just ask us!
