Meet #VLgirl Kelsey

Meet #VLgirl Kelsey! Her hair. Her kindness. Her work ethic. All things that make her an essential part of the Velvet Lounge. Whether she is up in the windows switching out our visuals, or always killing it when we ask her to model for our shoots, she does everything with a smile on her face and a little bit of fierceness, as shown above. In addition to being a staple at the store, she is a key member in April's wedding floral business. You can often find her at Mod Pizza fueling up for another long night in the flower barn. Read her questionnaire below to learn all about the girl behind the big hair! 
​Starting as an unpaid intern, to sales associate, and now in assisting in visuals and buying, what have you learned most as you moved through these positions at the store?
I believe that one of the biggest things I’ve learned are the fundamental aspects of design and how they all flow together to make a successful display. I think one of my first duties as an intern was to help with a window display, now I’m designing my own and love seeing how my ideas have morphed as I’ve grown. 

Snake skin or cheetah print?
Snake Skin 100%. 

If someone bought you a plane ticket towards anywhere, where would you go and why?
​I would go to Australia because it seems like a totally different world. Not to mention every picture I see it looks unbelievably beautiful. 

What’s the last song you listened to?
​I don’t know what last song I listened to, but I do know that I’ve been listening to Alicia Keys radio NON STOP!

If you could only wear one mani color for the rest of your life, what color would it be?
If it has to be for the rest of my life then I need something I would love to look at forever. I think I would go with some sort of blush color. 

With holiday shopping, what is one thing you want customers to keep in mind when shopping for gifts this year?
It’s all about staying warm, but keeping it cute. Plus, supporting local when gifting! 

What’s on your wish list this year?
I’ve been dying for some Doc Martens, I think they would fit my wardrobe perfectly. I hope my mom’s reading this!! 

If you could be a model for one of our brands we carry in store, who would it be and why?
​Free People, because I love how they style their models. Their lifestyle is so easy going and free spirited, aspects that I try to hold in my own life. 

What is your favorite item in the store right now?
​
The purple Minkoff purse in the window!

 As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A spy. I used to always carry around a notebook and take notes of things I thought were suspicious. I guess now I’m just nosy!

What’s your chipotle order?
Brown rice. Chicken. A LITTLE BIT of black beans. Fajita veggies. Corn salsa. Mild salsa. Hot salsa. If they look heavy handed, I say LIGHT sour cream. Cheese. Side of guac and a side tortilla. Trust me, if they forget the side tortilla I’m def walking back to get it. I also always get some sort of sparkling grapefruit juice they have! I’m an avid chipotle customer :) 

If you could take a week off from your regular life to immerse yourself in learning something new, what would it be?
I would want to learn how to weave a rug. I think the process of weaving is so interesting and unique. Plus they are so expensive, I’d love to learn to make my own. 

Name me three things that inspire you. 
April. High Fashion magazines. The process in itself. Starting from the beginning and having a finished product is one of the most inspiring things to me. 

What is one goal you have for 2018? ​
I recently bought a house and oh boy it is a lot of work moving! My goal is to have my house looking like my Pinterest board in 2018. 

If you could be an extra in any movie, what would it be?
​Mean Girls so that I can be in the background of one of the famous one liners.
