About A Babe: Jessica Garrison

Introducing "About A Babe", an interview column that explores the minds of girls we are wild about. The artists that span a variety of styles, the sparkly personalities that excite us, the muses that inspire our own personal definitions of what makes a 'cool girl' cool. It's a peek into Vanessa's mind and heart via the girls who occupy it. The first installment features Jessica Garrison, a production designer (her talent was tapped for our upcoming Summer '16 Lookbook!), an insanely talented fiction writer, and adored friend.

How did you and Vanessa come into each others lives?

I think it started because we both like dogs and pinot grigio. We've spent a good number of nights sitting on the kitchen counter, legs dangling over the cupboard, eating funyuns, drinking wine with ice cubes.

Why are you friends? Why do you think she loves you so much? How do you think you inspire her so?

Haha that's a lot of questions disguised as one! Okay. I don't know why we're friends. No one's ever asked me that. Let me think. I'm attracted to people with no filter, which makes Vanessa just my type. And if she loves me so much, I think it's because she has that capacity. She loves things in great quantity. It's refreshing in a world of "yea I'm good," and "things are okay." To Vanessa things aren't so gray. And they're not for me either. I think we inspire each other to see things differently.

How would you describe yourself to someone you really wanted to impress?

I'd probably just closed-mouth smile and let Vanessa do the talking. She's good at leaving impressions.

How would you describe yourself to someone you really DID NOT want to impress?

I wouldn't.

What do you think about Fashion?

The last conversation I had about fashion was with Vanessa when we ended up at a magazine issue release and I told her how much I hated fashion parties. I own maybe three dresses, one pair of pants, and seven scrunchies. But I do think the day goes better when you like your outfit.

What gets you off about Vanessa’s jewelry?

Haha good question! I like the way it touches my neck.

Tell us about your writing projects and why you think people respond the way they do to it?

I'm working on a book and a script. But recently I've been writing these short journal-type stories on Instagram (something I never thought I'd say). They're mostly about a breakup and how messy my life became, and I think people respond to them because they recognize the feeling. We all have our own messes, and when you share the same as another, the mess starts to look kind of beautiful.

If you could inspire your friends or the girls of this world, what would you say to them right this minute?

Let's stick together and be better people.

Spring 2016 Collection




We are beyond excited to show you our new Spring Collection "Fashion Summer Camp" featuring Pyper America.

It's that time of year again. Our favorite time of year. When it's time to get out at all the trouble there is to get at.

When boys get put on the back burner and great friendships keep us scheming. Girls being girls, doing the best kind of girl stuff.

Life warms up & we get to take off more clothes! What's left but our jewels and a whole lotta fun times.

This collection is inspired by the muses of our best friends. The ones that get us into trouble as easily as they get us out of it. Our friends that make us sweet and dangerous and everything else in between.

Together we are fearless, cool asf and the world becomes suddenly full of it all.

We hope you wear & feel this collection with that in mind and all inhibitions get set aside. 

Starting with our thin gold and silver armbands, cool bone & metal chokers, mixtures of silver, copper & gold. Cross necklaces & earrings, brushed lapis & turquoise. This collection is fun & sexy and sure to be a pal with you in all of your late nights, odd mornings and wild times! 

They are the kind of pieces that never come off. The rings that are permanently indented in your fingers, the necklaces that you feel while you are dancing and wake up to the next morning. 

Our message to you my girls: wear what you love and let it remind you of all the fun times that are meant to be had. Sometimes we lose sight of one of the greatest love stories to be had, the one with ourselves & our best friends!

Spring is yours!
