I am currently working on a master of business degree from USC. Some days I question why I took that leap at 30 years old, but I do believe it will enrich my life so much. One of my assignments was to interview an entrepreneur in a field of interest of mine. So I picked one of my favorite boutiques in Long Beach called Twig & Willow. I was just planning on meeting with the owner, I was not expecting that she would have such an impressive background as well. I mean, she would have to own such a rad store. But she was a buyer for Urban Decay as well as a product developer for Smashbox before opening the boutique. Karen Quimby was such a sweetheart and I learned so much about running a retail store and she gave me some solid advice for my future. I can't thank her enough! They sell one of a kind pieces, locally designed jewelry, and so much more! Twigandwillow.com
