Field Guide to the Charmed Life

Katie Armour

[co-founder + editorial director] was raised in the California sunshine, dons a daring pixie cut, wishes she could swim in the colorful canvases of Matisse, grew up between charming brothers but relished her years at an all-girls boarding school, worships Diana Vreeland, fashions her stacks of design books to serve as side tables, swears by cigarette pants and ballet flats, scored herself a devilishly handsome husband that pens her love poems on typewriters, reupholsters her grandmother's heirlooms with leopard print sheets, will never tire of Paris, spoils her pug to no end and is intent upon adopting four more.
 

Jane Lilly Warren

[co-founder + creative director] was born in the year of the tiger, gets lost in used book stores, mastered chopsticks before she could write, traces her ancestry to Cromwell's soldiers and French huguenots, will watch anything with six degrees of separation to Wes Anderson, has traveled the world from Siberia to South Africa to Seoul yet has never fallen out of love with her native Manhattan, married her college sweetheart, loves the sounds of the city in the rain, adores pantone 7406, and she would rather wear her asprey rain boots in london than sandy feet in cancun any day.
