I’m originally from Northern California—a beautiful, but very rural area. To give you a glimpse: I played basketball and volleyball, but when I wasn’t doing that, I was competing in rodeos and raising pigs for the county fair (who would’ve thought, right?). As much as I love my small town and the people in it, I always knew I wanted to see more, so after high school I moved to Santa Barbara for college. I’ve always had a passion for fashion and love creating different looks. I can definitely credit SoCal for bringing out that laid back sense of style that I still to this day mix with just about every outfit I put together. When studying at UCSB, I met my husband Shane. Together we have had some adventurous years traveling around the US for his job with the Cleveland Guardians. Whether I was traveling to a game or studying abroad in Italy and traversing Europe, comfort and style has always been important to me.

I think it is so invaluable for women to feel good about themselves no matter their size, shape, background, or how dressed up they feel - thats exactly what I set out to do with my brand. I firmly believe a woman should wear whatever she wants and feel good doing it; so here I am trying to make that happen for this little community of strong, confident, and beautiful women.  It has always been a dream of mine to have my own brand that emphasizes women empowerment. Thank you for coming on this ride with me - I’ll be your hype woman whenever you need one.

Your girl,

Kara Maxine
