She lives in a quaint coastal town in South Georgia, St Simons Island.   The idea of Love Up was planted in her mom’s heart years ago as she desired to have a family business where Stiles could play an active role. To know Stiles is to feel LOVE on a level that lifts you UP and their desire was to share that LOVE with others.

Today the brand consists of sweatshirts, tee shirts, socks and more. Learn more and shop at https://shoploveupwithstiles.com/
