Getting to know Kelly from Lively Design

It is so fun working on this blog and seeing who it introduces me to. A while back I was connected with Kelly Kirkland from Lively Design Studio via Instagram.  She has wonderful woven totes that are the perfect accessory for a trip to the beach or around town.  They are fun, useful, personalized and ever so chic!  I thought it would be fun to get to know Kelly, the owner and designer behind Lively Design Studio’s fantastic bags!  So I asked her a few questions like I did with Karen Duffy a few months ago ( See post here).  See below for her answers.

  1. What is a Book you loved?  One of my all-time favorite novels is One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia-Marquez. I think I’ve read it at least three times over the year
  2.  What is your favorite recipe and/or favorite dish?   Without a doubt, it’s Marcella Hazan’s Bolognese Sauce. My whole family loves it.  I also love Giada de Laurentiis’ Chicken Piccata recipe– it’s a great dish to serve at dinner parties.
  3. What are the 3- 5 things in your bag that you use the most and what bag do you use?  Burt’s Bees lip balm, lip gloss, my sketch book and pen, and a little picture of my mom that I keep in my wallet. I switch out my handbags frequently, and I also carry my Lively tote or my daughter’s almost every day, since two of my children are swim year-round. They’re great for all the goggles and swim caps and swim suits!
  4. Beauty Secret or Favorite product  Rodan + Fields Reverse Deep Exfoliating Wash is fantastic, and right now I’m loving Kate Somerville’s Wrinkle Warrior Moisturizer and Serum.
  5. Greatest Fashion Extravagance or Best Fashion Find . I love clutches, handbags and totes of all kinds. My go-to evening bag is a black leather Prada clutch that I purchased several years ago, and I still love it as much as the day I bought it.

Thank you Kelly – For sharing with us – I am excited to try those recipes and I am always looking for a new book and beauty tip!  I love my tote – it is hte best size to hold everything I need and the colors couldn’t be more perfect!
