Born and raised in Columbus, MS, I grew up in my grandmother‘s beautiful antebellum home named Rosedale. My favorite pastime as a child was wandering through the many rooms of Rosedale and pillaging through my mom's and grandmother’s closets. I could barely walk before I traded in my baby shoes for a pair of mother’s strappy high heels topped off with my grandmother’s mink coat and jewelry.
My love of timeless, classic fashion pieces developed before I even learned to read, let alone spell! Needless to say once I finished high school I felt a strong pull to trade in the lazy starlit summer nights of Columbus for the electric, star-filled city where summer...

Born and raised in Columbus, MS, I grew up in my grandmother‘s beautiful antebellum home named Rosedale. My favorite pastime as a child was wandering through the many rooms of Rosedale and pillaging through my mom's and grandmother’s closets. I could barely walk before I traded in my baby shoes for a pair of mother’s strappy high heels topped off with my grandmother’s mink coat and jewelry.
My love of timeless, classic fashion pieces developed before I even learned to read, let alone spell! Needless to say once I finished high school I felt a strong pull to trade in the lazy starlit summer nights of Columbus for the electric, star-filled city where summer never ends... Los Angeles, of course!
Almost immediately I was drawn to the idea of being a stylist, and that is where destiny led me. One of my first paying jobs as a stylist was for Parker Posey (a fellow Southerner) on the movie set of "Party Girl". I was hooked!
I worked in the Hollywood fashion scene as a freelance stylist for years and loved every minute! But soon, those lazy starlit summer nights of my small Southern town began to call me home.
I returned to Columbus, MS and once again destiny took over and led me to The Attic. It started out as a modest two-room boutique upstairs from the town's old movie theater named The Princess Theater. I quickly outgrew The Princess due to my weakness of wanting to give all orphaned vintage pieces a home. Destiny stepped in again and practically dragged me to a larger place.
As soon as I saw the old yellow Victorian house at 116 3rd Street South I knew it was meant to be! First of all, I loved the fact that the house is located adjacent to the birthplace of Tennessee Williams; and secondly, I now had plenty of rooms to fill up with all the vintage treasures that seem to find me (and beg me to take them in).
My full circle is complete (for now). I am back in a beautiful old home and once again able to play dress up... but this time for a living! And with my friends, family, clients and all lovers of classic, timeless fashion.
