My last post describes my journey from Alexandria, Virginia where the first Kaylie Dawn bracelet was made (I still wear it, by the way) to Watch Hill, Rhode Island where I currently live and sell to boutique partners throughout the U.S.
Serendipitously, on my last day living in Alexandria I had the meaningful honor to be featured in Alexandria Stylebook, the region's leading newsletter on all things fashion, health and wellness, beauty, and home. Below is a copy of the article. Living in Old Town was one of the most pleasant chapters in my life. The neighborhood is welcoming, historic, charming, gorgeous, and energizing. The friendships I made there will be both lifelong and cherished. I'll miss you, #ALX!
