Clothing:
Zevelyn Jean:
Zevelyn Jean is a sustainable brand that ethically sources their fabrics and hand crafts in LA. Their silhouettes, patterns, and colors will make you do a double take! No — like, seriously. If you get your hands on one of these pieces (we’re eyeing the trousers😍), you’re going to have a true one of a kind piece in your wardrobe.
Andrea Iyamah:
Looking for pieces with beautiful, vibrant color and a romantic feel? The craftsmanship put into Andrea Iyamah designs screams sophistication. Planning your next vacation? Going out to a cocktail party? Heading to brunch with the girls? These are the kind of pieces you’ll want to invest in!
Diarrablu
Remember Lindsey’s green off the shoulder dress? Yep, that’s all Diarrablu! This brand fuses bold prints, size inclusivity, sustainability, and ancient Senegalese artisan techniques to create some of the most ethereal pieces you’ll ever see!
Accessories & Footwear
12PM Studios:
I’m sure we all have a friend who comes to mind at the thought of any kind of eyewear. They seem to have this magical ability to pop on a pair of frames and effortlessly elevate their entire look every time. Well, Jenee Naylor and Joshua Prieto’s 12PM Studios has nailed it! If you’re looking for a brand that is dedicated to thoughtful design as much as style, this is the place to go. 🕶️
Brandon Blackwood:
Need an accessory to pull the whole look together? Brandon Blackwood has options! Looking for bags with classic silhouettes, unconventional shapes, bold colors, or prints? It’s definitely here!
Jazmine Kionna:
Jazmine Kionna is on a mission to end #highheelhell. These luxury heels are for the fashionista on the go! Each pump is designed with multi-layer insoles that uniquely mold to your feet (there’s real science behind it all!). What’s even better than their dedication to style and comfort? Their commitment to sustainability and size inclusivity (offer women’s sizes 5-13!).
Jazmine has even developed a program called “A Walk in Her Shoes”, where a portion of the monthly support young women who lost their parents before their 18th birthday and are facing financial hardship. Read more here
KHOI:
KHOI’s founder, Hayet, wouldn’t really label herself as a jewelry designer, but an artist. And I couldn’t agree more. Her collections are a true artform! You won’t be able to take your eyes off her collection of brooches, earrings, and statement necklaces. PS. Any brides looking for their final touches? KHOI has a weddings collection🤩💍

Sometimes we all need a little outfit inspo, because some days getting dresses is just, well… hard. These four creators bring so much authenticity and excitement to getting dressed. I’ll never scroll past one of their posts. I hope they bring you as much joy and inspo as they do for me - Octavia 🫶

She’s THE Modest Fashion girlie, in my book! You’ve probably seen one of her outfits on Pinterest without even realizing it. I love her ability to play with bold color, patterns, and silhouettes. All of her outfits look so cool and polished 🤩 And she’s always on top of all of the cool girl brands out there!
JENEE - @JENEENAYLOR
