Well, hello there! I have been in such a rush launching the recent collections, growing Business in the City, prepping for our next collection (due out in November), and so forth that I feel like it would be great to fill you in on my life lately and my current intentions. First, I will say [...]

I have big news! I’ve been working over the past few months with Claudia Smith, the amazingly talented stationery designer behind Fig. 2 Design Studio to create a collaborative limited edition line of note cards for Jess LC! The two metallic foil card styles, Cheers and Merci, come in single flat cards ($3) and eight [...]

Sorry for the delay on the post. This morning Danielle and I were shooting the next lookbook for the new Jess LC collection debuting next week. The shoot is a bit different this time compared to past lookbooks due to the nature of the products, so I can’t wait to reveal the collection! Now it’s [...]

Though I don’t normally do posts on the weekend, I couldn’t help but share the gratitude I feel for these two recent features. Yesterday Oh Joy shared coin purses on her amazing blog. I’ve been a huge fan of her for years and to see her get excited about our coin purses is truly amazing. [...]

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback from the initial launch of Quincy and Belmont! I am thrilled to hear how many of you love the styles and colors we designed. And from the initial sales, it’s clear that gold and fuchsia is a big winner (not that we are surprised). It’s also funny [...]

… next Monday. But for now I couldn’t help but share a little something from my Saturday with Danielle, Alaina, and Liz. With Danielle shooting, Alaina styling, and Liz and Alaina modeling, the shoot was pretty incredible. And since there are two collections launching, I figured I better give you a peek at the [...]

I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend! I got back yesterday from my cousin’s beautiful wedding in Philadelphia. It was a great time and Mr. Lively got to meet the family. (Which is a pretty big deal, folks, a pretty big deal.) Now, it’s time to get back into the swing of things [...]

I think I need today’s post to help me process my thoughts as much as I hope it helps others in business or contemplating a start-up. Besides my own life getting off track this summer, I also have been working through things on the business side as well. Each year since I launched Jess LC [...]

Yesterday, August 16th, was my four year anniversary of living in Chicago. To think of where I was on this day four years ago is simply insane. The first night that I stayed in my new studio apartment I cried for a long time because my boxes covered the entire floor of the apartment. There [...]

As I get my fall wardrobe in order (I’m doing a makeunder which I’ll share here in a few weeks), I thought I’d pass on some savings to Jess LC customers who might be in the same mood themselves. Hop over today through Friday to save $20 off the Lake Shore Clutches (navy and natural) [...]
