Interview With Fashion Stylist Jana Meister

Hi There, my style-savvy readers! Do you ever wonder what a fashion stylist does all day? And have you ever dreamed of starting your own style blog but had no clue where to begin? Well, meet someone who cracked the code—Jana Meister!

Back in 2012, Jana turned her love for fashion into JANA STYLE® Blog. Let’s just say things escalated in a very glamorous way. 💃✨🌟

We’re talking features in InStyle Magazine, her face on a Macy’s billboard in NYC (yes, right there in Times Square, where tourists take blurry selfies), and even a spot in the Today Show’s style guide! 😲🏙️📸

Meanwhile, I consider it a major achievement if I leave the house without mismatched socks. 😆🧦📸  

I asked Jana the same questions I always throw at my interviewees. Who knows, maybe this time I’ll stumble upon the secret formula for blogging stardom. 🤔📚✨

A genius tip here, a little insider knowledge there… Next thing you know, my blog will be swarming with new followers and fabulous people begging to be interviewed! 😎📈🌟

If I were a spring chicken living in America, I’d know exactly what to do. That ship has sailed—no spring chicken sitting on the other end of this laptop. 🐥💻⏳  

Still, it’s never too late to learn a trick or two from the pros. Now then, grab a cup of tea (or something stronger, I won’t judge) and let’s dive into Jana’s story! ☕📖✨

What is your name, function and the company you work for?  

Jana Meister, Blogger & Fashion Stylist // Jana Style Blog

How old are you?

40

What kind of work do you do or what are you studying to be? 

I am a Kansas City, MO based blogger and stylist. I started my blog after I graduated from college back in 2012. I wanted to get into the commercial styling industry, so I created Jana Style Blog as a portfolio of all the projects, fashion events, trends, and styled outfits that I loved.

After college I volunteered for several fashion shows and was starting to meet people in the industry. I documented all the fun and amazing projects I had worked on because I was hoping that I could use my blog to connect with brands and people in the industry for a job. That journey has now led me to my own styling business, blog, and influencer marketing platform for the past 13 years! 

What made you decide to become a Fashion Stylist? Tell me about your journey. 

My career in fashion started when I was just out of High School, I graduated and went to college but wasn’t sure what career path I wanted to take. I started working at a local Maurices store and quickly fell in love with putting together outfits and helping clients find clothing that made them feel their best.

I became really passionate about working in the industry and started to network and volunteer for as many things as I could. Eventually I was able to start to build a portfolio of commercial styling and even began doing some one-on-one personal styling. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is very important to me. It’s a creative outlet and a passion to inspire other woman to feel confident in their clothes. I truly believe when you look your best you feel your best!

I love to share new fashion trends, colors, and styles through my blog by writing and also through video creation and photography. Fashion brings me a lot of joy and gives me a tool to share my passion with others.

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?

I have been really lucky throughout my blogging and styling journey. I think I started my blog and Instagram at a really good time; it was before so many other people had started to explore sharing fashion through online platforms.

I connected with a niche group of followers who loved a similar style as me and wanted to see clothing worn on “real” body shapes. I dress for the everyday woman and that has helped me to connect online and offline with clients and followers. 

My love for writing, creating outfits, and also my interest in marketing, photography, and digital media has also helped me to achieve some of my bigger goals. I have networked in my local fashion community and met people who support my business and my blog locally.

I have also traveled and attended fashion events in other cities like San Diego, Dallas, New York, and Palm Springs. I also joined industry organizations like Fashion Group International which gave me connections in the fashion and interior design industry across the country.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to potential clients, brands, bloggers, photographers, and other business owners who you would like to work with. Collaboration is a key to success in any business. 

What’s something you might want to do in the future?

I’ve always dreamed of having my own collection or collaboration line of accessories, shoes, and handbags. I LOVE to accessorize my outfits and this would be something that would be amazing to do one day! Send me the good vibes, I really want to make this happen!! 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewelry?

I wouldn’t say I am someone who shops for brand names. I personally like to shop for quality. I want my clothing and accessories to last over time and be an investment that can be worn over multiple seasons. I do gravitate towards brands that make quality items and value the quality of their clothing pieces and accessories.

Describe your personal style of fashion?

My personal style is comfy, casual, and chic with an occasional girly dressed up look. I love feminine dresses and skirts, but I also love a simple casual look with comfy jeans and a dressy top.

I love accessories! I think a whole outfit can be put together by adding a pretty necklace, some earrings, and a great handbag. Don’t forget a cute pair of sunglasses! 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I would definitely say that my blog has helped me to find my personal style and also has helped me to evolve my style over time. Taking photos of your outfits as frequently as I do really help you to see what styles are most flattering on your body.

I also have learned what fits my body shape, what colors look good on me, and also how to style certain pieces. Taking photos of my outfits has also given me the ability to document the way I style things so I can remember my favorite looks. I don’t think that I have a specific signature look, but I am always a girly girl. I love pink, pastel shades, and any kind of feminine styles.

In what way do you influence other people’s fashion style?

I love to share upcoming trends, colors, and celebrity fashions through my blog, on-air morning news segments, and on my social media channels.

I research runway trends, featured styles, and colors, many seasons before they make it to mainstream fashion. Trend research is something I have always been interested in and love to explore as a tool to share with my followers. 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

I have been loving the return of bright colors, the mix of feminine and sporty styles, wide leg jean trends, and the return of the ballet flat shoes. 

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Right now, the trend I most want to see go is the overly baggy and extremely loose clothing trend. I love a wide leg style and an oversized jacket or sweater, but I also love a clean tailored look.

I feel like balance in an outfit is important and I also think dressing to enhance your body shape in a flattering way is ideal. It’s hard for me to style the extremely oversized looks – I hope this trend is on its way out.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Fashion is meant to be fun, don’t take it too seriously. If you love something wear it! So many times, we get into our own heads about what we should and shouldn’t be wearing. Always wear clothes that make you feel good!! 

Who is your style icon, and why?

I have had many style icons over the years, I always love to look for inspiration in magazines, TV shows, red carpet and runway looks, and of course other bloggers. I love Lauren Conrad, Rachel Zoe, Princess Diana and bloggers like @kendieveryday and @krystin_lee

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

A few of my favorite spring styles include, flowy fun dresses, wide leg pants, embroidered details, wedge sandals, and sleek sneakers!

Interview with Jewelry DesignerTeleigha Peavy

Hi There, my gem-loving readers! Have you ever seen a piece of jewelry and thought, “Wow, this is so pretty—maybe I should be a jewelry designer!”? Ah, perhaps you are more like a little dragon, collecting every shiny gemstone because, well, they’re just too beautiful to resist?


Picture provided by Teleigha Peavy

I have to admit—I’m the second type. My love for gemstone jewelry started when I was a little girl. I got a pink quartz ring, and oh boy, I felt like a princess! 👸💖💍  

Maybe I already knew that pink quartz is the stone of love (or maybe I just liked pink). My dad also had an entire collection of beautiful gemstones on his bookshelf, and I loved staring at them, wondering if they had magic inside. 🤔🔮📚  

That’s why I was so excited to talk to Teleigha Peavy. She also loved jewelry but never thought of herself as a jewelry designer—until people kept asking her if she was one! One person even told her, You should be! Well, when life gives you a hint that big, you kinda have to listen. 😲💡💬  

Now here’s the twist—when Teleigha first made her own jewelry, the paint started chipping off. (Oh no!) She wanted something that would never fade, so she started learning about gemstones. 😱🎨🚫  

She read about their healing powers and even found them in the Bible! That’s when she realized: *Okay, okay, I get it! I can’t run from this—this is my destiny!* 😌🙏📖  

Ok then, grab your favorite gemstone (or a cookie, that works too) and get ready to hear Teleigha’s amazing story about following her passion and creating stunning gemstone jewelry! 😃💎🍪  

Picture provided by Teleigha Peavy

What is your name, function and the company you work for?  

I'm Teleigha Peavy, Jewelry designer for L.Signature Collection by L.Styles

How old are you?

I am 37 years young.

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I’m the Principal accountant at my own accounting and consulting firm, and a Senior Accountant at a CPA firm. 

What made you decide to become a Jewelry Designer? Tell me about your journey.

My journey into jewelry design began thanks to my grandmother, who is a true Southern Belle. She always believed that women should wear jewelry, especially earrings, and I used to get in trouble for not appreciating it as much—after all, I was a tomboy growing up.

However, after I had my first child, I needed something to help me avoid falling into postpartum. I had to stay strong and alert for my baby, and one way I found to uplift myself was by dressing up, including matching jewelry. 

It made me feel better both inside and out, and eventually, I grew to love jewelry. Now, you can't stop me from wearing unique pieces! My journey from reluctant wearer to passionate designer has been deeply personal, and it’s what drives me to create pieces that make others feel just as special.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is definitely important to me, but it's more about being able to rock your own style and define what fashion means to you. 

My concept is simple: 'What works for you works for you.' I believe in daring to be different and unique—fashion is all about creativity and being true to yourself. That’s what makes it so powerful. 

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them? 

My successes include being featured in fashion shows, articles, and earning rewards in both of my businesses. 

These achievements didn't happen overnight; they took a combination of teamwork, consistency, faith, and determination. 

It’s been a journey of perseverance, and I’m grateful for the support and effort that have brought me to where I am today.

Picture provided by Teleigha Peavy

What’s something you might want to do in the future? 

In the future, I definitely want to do more fashion shows. I haven’t done one in a while, and I’m eager to get back into that world. It’s an exciting way to showcase my designs and connect with people who share a passion for fashion.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewelry? 

Not at all. When I buy jewelry from other brands, I focus on the uniqueness and whether it's something eye-catching. The brand name isn't important to me—what matters is finding pieces that stand out and resonate with my personal style.

Describe your personal style of fashion?

My personal style is a blend of comfort and chic. I prioritize pieces that feel good to wear while still allowing me to express my individuality. 

You'll often see me in long maxi dresses, joggers with heels, and wide-leg pants—styles that accommodate my shape and size while still looking polished. 

My signature look includes a hat, layered necklaces, stacked bracelets, a V-neck t-shirt, jeans, and heels. I love how these elements come together to create an effortless yet put-together vibe that represents who I am.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I found my personal style by focusing on what makes me feel comfortable and confident. Over time, I realized that I gravitate towards pieces that are both functional and stylish, which led me to embrace long maxi dresses, joggers with heels, and wide-leg pants. 

These choices suit my shape and size while allowing me to express my personality.
As for a signature look, I definitely have one. I love to wear a hat, layered necklaces, stacked bracelets, a V-neck t-shirt, jeans, and heels. This combination feels like 'me'—it's a mix of casual and chic that I can wear anywhere and still feel my best.

Do you have an influence on other people’s fashion style?

I don't know if I do, but I hope that through L-Styles LLC, I inspire people to embrace their unique style with confidence. 

My goal is to create pieces that resonate with individuals and empower them to express themselves authentically. If my designs encourage someone to take pride in their personal fashion choices, then that's a wonderful bonus.


Picture provided by Teleigha Peavy

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

In my eyes, the best trends at the moment are collar shirts and jeans. This classic combination is versatile, stylish, and effortlessly chic. It's a trend that anyone can wear and make their own, which is why I love it so much. It’s a perfect example of how simplicity can make a powerful fashion statement.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

In my eyes, the worst trends at the moment are lingerie-looking clothing worn in public or crocs with everything. Lol. While fashion is all about self-expression, some trends just don't resonate with me. I believe in finding a balance between comfort and style, and sometimes, certain trends push that a little too far.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

My advice is simple: Don't change your style because someone may not like it. Fashion is a personal journey, and it's about expressing who you are. 

Stay true to yourself, wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable, and let your style reflect your individuality. Authenticity is always in fashion.

Who is your style icon and why?

I don't have a single style icon, as I believe inspiration can come from many different sources. 

My designs at L-Styles LLC are influenced by a blend of diverse cultures, art, nature, and the everyday people who confidently express their unique styles. I find beauty in individuality and creativity, which is what drives me to create pieces that allow others to define their own fashion narrative.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Absolutely! At L-Styles LLC, we believe that fashion is more than just what you wear—it's a reflection of your personality, your confidence, and your unique story. We're not just selling products; we're providing our customers with the tools to express themselves boldly and authentically. 

Each piece we design is crafted with attention to detail and quality because we want our customers to feel empowered and inspired every time they wear L-Styles.

We're also passionate about building a community around our brand. We love seeing how our customers style their L-Styles pieces and share their looks with us on Instagram

It's incredibly rewarding to know that we're part of their journey in defining and celebrating their individual style. So, if you're looking for accessories and apparel that truly resonate with who you are, we invite you to explore our collection. Let's make fashion personal and meaningful together.

If Famous Fashion Designers Were Desserts

Hi There, my dear readers. Have you ever wondered what famous fashion designers would look like if they were desserts? Then again, isn’t fashion design already a little like baking—carefully layering textures, adding just the right amount of drama, and sometimes ending up with a complete disaster? (We’ve all had that one outfit that looked better in our heads.) 😆👗🎂



Now, full disclosure: I’m not the biggest dessert fan anymore. Ever since my gastric bypass, sugar and I have had to redefine our relationship. 😐🍬🚫

Let’s just say it’s no longer a fairytale romance—more of a cautious friendship where I insist on adding fruit to keep things in check. 🤔🍓⚖️

Looking For a Human Hair Wig to Battle Hair Loss or New Hair Styling Ways? Irresistible Me

Hi There, my beautiful readers! Ever wondered if hair styling could be as easy as just throwing on a wig? Maybe you’ve asked yourself whether a hair wig could change your life?


Picture by Seadbeady
I received this pixie cut wig in exchange for my honest opinion

Before I start! Right now, there’s a V-Day Sale with up to 50% off—so if you’ve ever wanted to try a hair wig without breaking the bank, this might be your sign from the hair gods! 😏💖🎉

Now then, buckle up, because today we’re diving into the world of pixie cut human wigs—where your hair dreams meet instant gratification. Imagine the luxury of not having to worry about hair styling every morning. 🤩💆‍♀️✨

It’s like waking up with perfect hair without having to lift a finger. Well, it would be weird to sleep with a wig on though, right? Although, now that I think of it… I actually have a funny story about that. 😆😴😂

I once had to stay in the hospital for a hip replacement surgery (you know, just another adventure in the world of being a “seasoned autumn chicken”), and my roommate was a lady who wore her wig both day and night. 😳🏥🤷‍♀️

No joke, she kept it on even when she was sleeping! Strange, right? But hey, if you’re into that level of wig commitment, who am I to judge? Still, I can’t imagine getting cozy with that kind of luxury while catching some Z’s. 🤔🛏️🙃

I wonder, though, what if you had an entire collection of wigs? You could choose a new look every day! One day you’re feeling edgy with a pixie cut, the next you’re channeling chic sophistication. 😍💇‍♀️💃

No more bad hair days, no more flat hair frustrations—just perfect hair on demand. It’s like magic, but with better hair. Now, if you’re wondering whether a hair wig could change your life, the answer is yes—just maybe not while you’re napping! 😉✨😆

How to care for human hair wigs

Caring for your wig with a gentle touch is essential for maintaining its quality and longevity. Avoid excessive heat and use recommended products to extend its lifespan.  

Wash your wig only when necessary to preserve its natural texture and shine. When not in use, store it properly on a mannequin head or in its wig box to maintain its shape. Always use a wide-tooth comb to prevent tangling.  

With the right care, your human hair wig will stay beautiful for longer!

How to store human hair wigs

Proper storage is key to keeping your human hair wig looking its best for longer. Whether it’s a lace front or another style, the right storage method helps maintain its shape, texture, and color. Here’s how to store your wig correctly:  

- Choose the right environment: Store your wig in a clean, dry place away from humidity, moisture, direct sunlight, and heat sources to prevent damage, fading, or texture changes.  
- Use a wig stand: This helps maintain the wig’s shape and prevents tangling or matting.  
- Original packaging works too: If a wig stand isn’t available, store your wig in its original box—especially for long-term storage. Just ensure it’s clean and completely dry to avoid mold or mildew.  
- Avoid compression: Don’t squash or press your wig under heavy items, as this can cause it to lose shape and volume. If storing in a drawer or box, lay it flat with nothing on top.  
- Detangle before storing: Gently brush or comb your wig to remove knots, so it’s fresh and ready to wear when you need it.  

Taking these steps will help extend the life of your wig, keeping it flawless for every wear!

What temperature should you use when styling a human wig with hot tools

When styling human hair wigs, including lace front wigs, with hot tools, it’s important to avoid excessive heat to preserve the quality of the real hair fibers. Since human hair wigs are heat-resistant up to 320°F (160°C), you can style them just like your natural hair—with care.  

Safe & Effective Wig Hair Styling Guide  

- Start with a lower temperature: Begin at 250°F (120°C), especially for fine or light-colored wigs, as they are more heat-sensitive. Gradually increase if needed, but never exceed 320°F (160°C).  
- Always use a heat protectant: Apply a heat protectant before styling to shield the hair fibers from heat damage and extend the wig’s lifespan.  
- Adjust based on hair type: Coarse or curly wigs may require slightly more heat, while straight or thin wigs style well at lower temperatures. Use the least heat necessary for your desired look.  
- Check the heat regularly: Keep an eye on the temperature, especially with lace front wigs, as excessive heat can affect the delicate lace material.  
- Limit heat styling: Frequent use of hot tools can lead to damage. Whenever possible, opt for heat-free styling methods to maintain the wig’s integrity.  
- Cool before storing: After styling, let the wig cool completely before storing to set the style and prevent heat-related damage.  

By following these tips, you can safely style your human hair wig while keeping it flawless and long-lasting!

My opinion about the pixie cut human wig - 6" medium brown

I’ll be honest—I was pretty curious about whether a pixie cut would suit me. It’s one of those styles that can either be super cute or totally not your vibe, so I was excited to try it without the permanent commitment. 🤔✂️😊

When I got the Pixie Cut Human Hair Wig, I didn’t know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The medium brown color has just the right amount of warmth, blending perfectly with my complexion. 😍🎨👌

The 100% human hair feels incredibly soft and natural—nothing like the stiff, synthetic wigs I’ve tried before. And the pre-plucked hairline? Major bonus for giving it that extra realistic touch. 💯💇‍♀️✨

The fit is also spot-on. The French lace cap and adjustable elastic band made sure it stayed in place all day without any slipping, and it’s surprisingly lightweight and breathable, which is a huge plus. 🎀💆‍♀️🌬️

Picture by Seadbeady

As for styling, the pixie cut is shaped perfectly with just the right volume. The fact that it’s heat-resistant up to 320°F (160°C) means I can experiment with different styles, whether I want a sleek finish or a more tousled look. 🔥🎨💁‍♀️

What I love about this wig is that it’s perfect for both a good hair day or when you’re dealing with hair loss. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I've had family members who passed away from cancer, so I’ve developed a soft spot for people who experience hair loss because of it. 💖🎗️🤗

Whether you’re looking for a fun, new style or need something to help you feel confident during tough times, this wig has you covered. 👑💃💕

Overall, I’m so glad I took the plunge and gave a pixie cut a shot. If you’re thinking about trying short hair without the permanent commitment, this wig is a stylish and high-quality choice. 🎉💇‍♀️🙌


If you’re still with me, my most recent hair adventure featured a wavy ponytail that had me flipping my hair like I was starring in a shampoo commercial. Want to know more? You can check it out, along with more information on Irresistible Me, by clicking the link below! 💁‍♀️✨📌

Looking For A Rose Quartz Bracelet Or Skull Logo Tote Bag - Xander Kostroma Fashion

Hi There my fashion-loving readers! Do you believe in the soothing power of a Rose Quartz Bracelet to calm your soul? Maybe you lean more towards the bold statement of a skull logo that declares your presence with confidence. Why not have both and let your accessories tell your story?

Now, speaking of stories, here’s a little one from my childhood. Long, long ago, when I was a young girl, my father received a collection of gemstones from his brother in Australia. 😊✨🌏  

Instead of keeping them tucked away, he turned them into special pieces of jewelry for my mother, my two sisters, and me. 😍💎💖  

My mother got a stunning pendant—a butterfly crafted from gemstones—while my sisters and I each received a silver ring shaped like a flower, with a gemstone in the center. 🦋🌸🌟  

I can’t recall what stones my sisters had, but mine was Rose Quartz. That soft, pink gem felt magical to me as a child, and it still does today. 💕✨🌷  

My father sadly passed away when he was only 47, but I’ve kept that ring all these years. It’s become more than just jewelry; it’s a connection to him. 😔💍❤️  

Now, anything made with Rose Quartz instantly feels special to me, like a little piece of my father’s love lives on. 🥰🌹🌟  

Well, when I see a gorgeous bracelet handcrafted with Rose Quartz stones, like the one by Xander Kostroma, it’s impossible not to feel drawn to it. 😊📿💖  

Pair it with one of their Skull logo tote bags, and you’ve got a perfect balance of soft and edgy. Let’s dive into why these pieces are so much more than just accessories! 🤩👜💀  

By the way, I received these goodies as a thank you for sharing the interview about Xander—how awesome is that? 😊🎁🤩

About Xander Kostroma

Xander incorporates semi-precious stones into his jewelry and home accessories, finishing each piece with 925 sterling silver or 14k gold-plated components and findings. All of his jewelry is nickel-free (a must, as he’s allergic!).  

His brand, Xander Kostroma®, launched in Fall 2018 and is now stocked in over 550 independent boutiques worldwide. You can also find his collection online through British retailers Freemans.com and NotOnTheHighStreet.com.  

Xander passionately believes: *Anything in your life is possible! ...no matter what your background, you just need to focus on what you want, believe you already have it, and you will achieve it.*

Follow his journey and explore his creations on Instagram:

Xander is based in Lisbon, Portugal, but his brand is truly a global collaboration. He works online with Lydia, who is based in Handan City, China, alongside her two assistants, Lily and Pinna. Together, they hand-make all the pieces for the brand, led by Lydia’s expertise. Once production is complete, the goods are shipped to a warehouse in Swansea, Wales, where Gail takes charge of dispatching all orders.  

Amy, the face of the brand, captures stunning shots from her home and garden in Northamptonshire, England, while Ria photographs lifestyle images from her studio in Norfolk, England. Meanwhile, the website’s SEO is expertly managed by Moh and his assistant Abdul, who are based in Sialkot, Pakistan.

Handmade with love

From the work studio to the final campaign, every piece of our jewelry is fully traceable back to its source. When we say each piece is handmade, we truly mean it! Lydia, our Head of Production (learn more about her in the "About" section), is a highly skilled jewelry maker. She oversees the entire process alongside her small team of experts, who meticulously inspect every piece for purity, quality, and flawless form.

High Quality

We exclusively use genuine, high-quality crystals sourced from trusted and reputable suppliers.
Our 925 sterling silver is purity-tested, and we use 14ct gold-plated chains and findings to ensure the highest quality. Testing certificates are available upon request.
Our pashminas are crafted in small batches of just 100 pieces per color, made from a luxuriously soft viscose blend fabric.

Fashion Revolution

We partnered with a small, family-run factory based in Wenzhou City, drawn to their shared values and ethics, both personally and morally.  

As a company, we aim to support independently run small businesses (just like ours!), ensuring that every employee is treated with respect and seen as more than just a number.  

Since the successful launch of our very first skull tote bag in the fall of 2019, we've been continuously building and strengthening our relationship with this factory.

Xander Kostroma and Ecologi

In late 2023, Xander Kostroma partnered with Ecologi, a leading platform supporting vital global projects, with the goal of becoming a carbon-neutral brand.  

At the company level, we now plant one tree for every order placed. Additionally, we fund two extra projects each month to support carbon sequestration, carbon reduction, or the enhancement of global biodiversity.  

In 2024, Xander Kostroma pledged to backdate and offset the CO2 emissions generated by all orders shipped since the brand's launch in 2015.

Skull Logo Tote Bag

Crafted by Xander Kostroma, these tote bags are made from 100% heavyweight cotton canvas and showcase our signature skull logo in a timeless all-over repeat pattern. The top-handle design is completed with reinforced canvas strap handles, digitally printed with a continuous “Xander Kostroma” repeat text for a stylish finishing touch.

For Xander, the skull symbolizes the mortality of human beings. He views us as eternal souls experiencing life in human form, with our bodies serving as vessels for this earthly journey. To Xander, the ultimate purpose of this life is love.

My opinion on the Skull Tote Bag

If practicality and style had a love child, it would look like Xander Kostroma’s Skull Logo Canvas Tote Bag. This bag is the ultimate combination of edgy design and everyday functionality. 💼🎨😎

The all-over skull logo pattern is bold without being overpowering, and the digitally printed reinforced handles add an extra layer of style and durability. 🖤💪👜 

It’s spacious enough for all my essentials, whether I’m running errands or heading to a spot for some writing inspiration. Plus, it’s a total conversation starter!  If you’re looking for a bag that’s as versatile as it is eye-catching, this tote is the way to go. 🗣️💬👀

Rose Quartz Bracelet

Lovingly handmade in small batches by our talented in-house jewelry makers, this stunning semi-precious stone bracelet features polished Rose Quartz stones threaded onto a pink cotton cord, finished with a complimentary charm. It looks beautiful worn on its own or as part of a complete set with the matching necklace.  

Rose Quartz, the stone of universal love, restores trust and harmony in relationships, promoting unconditional love. It purifies and opens the heart at all levels, encouraging love, self-love, friendship, inner healing, and feelings of peace. Rose Quartz is the ideal stone for crystal jewelry, especially when kept close to the heart chakra.  

This Xander Kostroma piece will arrive lovingly gift-wrapped, ready to give to a special someone or to treat yourself.
