I am so excited to be featuring Lauren from Rosebud Lips on the blog today and to be sponsoring a giveaway of one of her beautiful hair clips! I know you will enjoy looking through her collection of amazing textures + color combinations + vintage details. To learn more about Lauren, Rosebud Lips and how to snag a gorgeous hair clip for yourself, read on!
WB: Tell us a little about yourself.
RBL: I'm 29, and a dreamer. I am a stay at home mommy in The Woodlands, TX, and love to do what I do. I have always been creative, and learned to sew at a young age.
I was taught by my grandmother (Nana) and my mom (Tama). I have always loved
fashion, and at a young age moved to New York City. I had the opportunity to
intern for designer Cynthia Rowley, which was an amazing experience.
WB: How did you begin designing?
RBL: To tell you why I became a designer would have to be because of my sweet memories of being a little girl (about 4) and dancing around in my Nana's silk bed sheets (my cape), adorned with her costume jewelry. I felt like a princess. My Nana has collected jewelry from my family generations back, and I felt like each piece had a story. This inspired me to use antiques in my pieces. I love textures, antiques, fabric and jewelry. Together, these form my concepts for my collection-- Making every woman feel beautiful.
WB: When did you start Rosebud Lips?
RBL: The name Rosebud Lips was actually the nickname that she gave me when I was
little, then my little girl (her grand daughter). I started the company in 2009, shortly after my mom passed away from cancer. She was my best friend, and my biggest supporter. She was an artist herself, and she told me to follow my dreams and be creative. This motivated me to leave the marketing/PR world that I worked in for over 5 years. She has changed the course of my life, and I'm so excited for what the future holds.
WB: A portion of each sale goes to a charity. Can you tell us more about that?
RBL: My other passion is to support The Mercy Project. Please know that each item that is sold through my shop directly benefits Mercy Ministries of America. They provide hope and healing to generations of desperate young women who are seeking freedom from life-controlling problems such as: drug and alcohol addictions; depression; eating disorders; unplanned pregnancy; physical and sexual abuse; self-harm. Go to www.mercyministries.org for more information.
