Earlier this summer we made a trip to Nashville to spend time with the lovely, effervescent Mary Ellen Skye. Mary Ellen runs a beautiful blog and gorgeous instagram in addition to being a talented hair stylist. She's a huge supporter of slow fashion and American-made brands, and can be spotted styling and modeling for them, though she's often too humble to mention it!
When Alex and I met Mary Ellen at our event at Wilder in the spring, we were blown away by how sweet and genuine she was, and thrilled at her response to our brand. The Wilder event was one of the first events we did, and happened just a few weeks after we launched, so her interest in us was extremely encouraging (we really felt the love in Nashville--from the team at Wilder, customers, friends old and new... <3 ). We kept in touch, and met up again a few months later to hang out and explore Nashville. After a hearty porridge breakfast at Steadfast, we went off into the city to do an impromptu shoot, and are thrilled to share the pictures with you now. We also asked Mary Ellen to answer a few questions for us; her responses are below!
