Let's hang with someone I've known for 20 years, but who I only actually got to know by doing this interview. Kelsy Parkhouse is the owner and founder of CARLEEN, a clothing brand steeped in nostalgia and a celebration of American textiles. Her one of a kind pieces have been gracing runways, editorial shoots for Vogue (peep a baby Kendall Jenner in Carleen, in the show notes), and the streets of big cities around the world since its debut in 2012. Her story, to me, feels like true LORE, a slow and deliberate movement toward making and being who she was always meant to be - both in her parenting and her career.
