母亲

“我们在2001年买了我们的房子。这是一个1905年的工匠，当我们买了它时正在崩溃，并正在建设的整个第一年我们在那里居住。这是最初让我爱房子的光。我们在山上我们有来自房子的各个方面的光线 - 它很漂亮。“

“不，没有，但这些年我们得到的东西已经变了，我们的品味也变了。最近我们做了一件事，因为我们的儿子已经足够大了，我们做了一个非常开放的，因此不适合孩子们上三楼的楼梯。”

“我的卧室，虽然我的衣柜紧邻第二次。当我休息一天的纸张和书籍时，我喜欢整天躺在床上，让我们通过法国门进入微风。梦想围绕着我的卧室围绕着卧室—there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. The only downfall is that our dog is not allowed upstairs, so during my rare lounging days, he cannot lounge with me."

husband has taken beautiful shots over the years that we have hanging in the den and I love the way those photos look together. I also love the pictures of my family that line the walls leading up the staircase. There’s such familiarity and warmth there. I’m quite fond of our Kelly green piano that we found on Craigslist—it is such an amazing focal point of the living room. In the upstairs hallway, we have a wonderfully large collage created by my dear friend Simone Shubuck, which has really rich, bright colors that catch the sunlight. It is so inviting and I just love it."">

“照片一直对我的家人非常重要。我的丈夫多年来已经拍摄了美丽的镜头，我们挂在巢穴里，我喜欢这些照片一起看的方式。我也喜欢我的家庭的照片，这些照片线路导致楼梯的墙壁。那里有这样的熟悉和温暖。我非常喜欢我们在Craigslist上发现的凯利绿钢琴 - 这是一个如此惊人的客厅的焦点。在楼上的走廊里，我们有一个奇妙的拼贴画，由亲爱的朋友创造Simone Shubuck.它有非常丰富、明亮的颜色捕捉阳光。它是如此诱人，我就是喜欢它。”

“我认为规则不需要适用。总有那么多有趣的东西可以收集和收集，以及你可以在旅行中发现的影响。不断地改变品味和改变你生活的空间是很有趣的。”

“这re wasn’t too much thought behind his room. It used to be a pretty robin’s egg blue, which I chose before he was born (I knew I was having a boy) and it was a very peaceful color for nap time, but he recently wanted to get rid of that color so we painted it light gray."

“我记得我生完奥斯卡后开车从医院回家。我看到一个年轻的女人独自走在街上，我突然想到我再也不会是她了，也就是说我再也不会是一个人了。这让我感到恐慌，因为我从来没有想过，当你有了孩子，你在精神上就不再是一个人了。你总是先考虑别人再考虑自己。当时，这让我很害怕，但我逐渐明白，在考虑自己之前先考虑别人的幸福并不是一件坏事。”

“他会带来的快乐数量。当他是个孩子的时候，我从来没有笑过或嘲笑。”

那美丽的craigslist找到了！

“我喜欢经常被他智慧的绽放所震惊。在每个年龄阶段，看到他成为一个不断发展的聪明人，都是令人兴奋的。”

”他的十几岁。我也担心他的私人关系——他的友谊。”

跟帕科打个招呼吧!

“我觉得我认为我们既非常热爱，也有点艰难。我记得我的妈妈有时不得不对”生活，生活不公平“。One thing I realize now that I have a pre-teen is that I maybe didn’t consider my mom a person growing up. I think mothers are largely taken for granted because we are always there and always trying to help. So, sometimes when Oscar is treating me like a little snot, like I’m sure I did with my mother at his age, I say to him, ‘Oscar, I’m a person and it doesn’t feel good when you speak to me that way.’ I don’t know if he hears it as I’m sure so much of it is hormonal, but he seems to."

“My mother and my sister are my mothering role models. I’m the youngest of my mom’s six kids. I’ve learned her unwavering love and support for her kids, and my big sister is the mom of three beautiful and delightful (now grown) kids. She is a nurse in labor and delivery, and is the calmest and most reassuring person I know when it comes to mothering."

“可能是我姐姐的东西，基本上，”他们比你想象的更聪明“，”指的是孩子。她的意思是让他们自欺欺人并向他们学习。不要成为直升机父母。“

“记住这一点，尽管有时似乎很难，但一切都过去了。无论好坏，没有什么是永恒的。例如，当你在谈论你的孩子需要你陪着他们直到他们睡着时，这是一件好事。当你想到它们有多可爱和小的时候，心里也会苦乐参半。”

明亮，新改造的厨房。

“不是真的。我想想到的一件事,我想把我们的房子是法国人(至少我丈夫的家庭)真的让孩子们知道有不恰当的时间是在这里成熟的时间和家人在一起的时间,这使得喘息的空间和边界。他们教导孩子们要尊重成年人，而这似乎是一些美国家庭所缺少的。例如，当父母说话时，孩子打断是不行的。尽管如此，我们离完美还很远。”

“我真希望我是一个更有条理的家长。我总是希望我能更细心地照顾他的玩具、书籍等东西。如果能做个更好的厨师，有更多的耐心就好了。我想我可以继续回答这个问题。”

美丽的家庭照片。

“周末的时候，我们吃早餐，我看报纸，他玩电子游戏，然后我们和帕科一起去天堂公园。我丈夫踢完球回来，我们一起去吃午饭，然后回家做我们自己的事情，直到晚饭。要么我丈夫做些好吃的，要么我们就去Taix是我们家门口的法国餐厅，我们可以走路。“

“I love living in L.A. and really appreciate the wonderful community we’re a part of on the East side. Of course, it’s always fun to think about the other places we could live, but the business is here and our family is here."

Clare V. bag."">

“After all this time of loving so many fashion styles and not wanting to classify myself, I’ll admit that I’m most comfortable in tomboy attire—a blend of classic pieces with menswear influences, with some modern accents like a silk scarf, new loafer, or a new克莱尔V。包。”

“我想我一直对时尚保持着同样的兴趣。在工作中，有很多场合我必须穿着得体，作为父母意味着我要尽量让这些转变做到天衣无缝。”

Clare V. bag I’m carrying with a few clutches tucked inside. Also, Acne trousers, some brogues or loafers, and always a button-down—either chambray or some standbys from Steven Alan. I’m also never without the watch my father gave to me for my 30th birthday."">

Mohawk General Store, Lake, or Mixed Business. I also shop when I travel because I go visit stores around the world for research or to visit my own collection. Also, I always do damage at boutiques when I do trunk shows at any of our wholesale accounts—spending hours in a shop is dangerous. There are a few great vintage stores in L.A. that I love, like Collection and Luxe de Ville, and some great ones back home in Minnesota, too, that I never miss on a visit."">

“我在邻居购物。我很少在周末离开我的社区，这是我唯一要购物的时间 -莫霍克通用商店那湖， 要么混合业务．我还在旅行时购物，因为我去世界各地的商店进行研究或访问我自己的收藏。此外，当我在我们的任何批发账户上市时，我总是在精品店造成伤害 - 在商店花费的时间是危险的。L.A中有一些大型老式商店。我喜欢收藏和奢华de城镇我在明尼苏达州老家也有一些很棒的作品，我每次拜访都不会错过。”

“不，购物习惯可能已经改变了，因为我工作和做母亲的时间越来越少了。”

“我每周有两次私人普拉提课程，我试图每周和奥斯卡和帕科徒步几次，这是我最喜欢的周末活动。我尽量吃得健康，只在这里或那里放纵自己。”

“We had to find a name that worked well in English and French. We had a contractor on our house named Oscar who we liked a lot, but we didn’t name our son after him, I think it just introduced us to the name."

“最好的部分是和他在一起，和他聊天。他既有趣又善良。”

“我是该公司的首席执行官兼创意总监克莱尔V。是洛杉矶生产的一系列配饰，但要描述这一切，我得花上很长很长的时间。”

“克莱尔V。是一系列手提包和配件，可以既有经典形状和现代细节，以满足当代女性（和男人）正在寻找什么。“

“I think people’s paths may be circuitous, but they lead you to where you are. This is especially clear in my case, as I did not go to design school, nor did I want to run a fashion company from the get-go. I was always in love with fashion, but didn’t quite know how to make a career of it, so I thought I’d be a editor and write about it in a journalistic way. That lead me to work in television journalism with my husband, which is when I had the idea for the company—there were no cute laptop bags for young women back then. After that, I started sewing bags myself, but always had to have part-time jobs, so I was a production coordinator for commercials for a brief stint and a prop stylist for a design company, which turned out to teach me a lot about making desirable imagery."

“I mostly love the creative aspect of my job, but surprisingly, I also love the business side of it, because I know that to continue doing the creative part, I have to retain the level of success we’ve achieved thus far. I also really love the people I work with and getting to collaborate with other creative individuals outside of克莱尔V。“

Tropezienne will always be a favorite because it was the line’s first true handbag when we launched. However, I also am very excited for new bags each season—right now, it’s the Ines and Lou in Couio Vachetta and the Hollyhock and Sardine clutches."">

“这Tropezienne将永远是最喜欢的，因为我们推出时是线的第一个真正的手提包。但是，我对每个季节的新包都非常兴奋 - 现在是伊内斯和LU.在Couio Vachetta和蜀葵和沙丁鱼离合器。“

“旅行，朋友，架构，社区 - 清单继续发展并继续发展。”

“Perspective is always key. It’s easier now to take things in stride and to remember my work motto, 'everything’s going to be ok,' which I adopted after I became a mother and had a stable and loving family that would always be there."

“这是一项正在进行中的微妙平衡。我每天都在努力，每天的平衡都在变化。”

“我经常出差，这是我喜欢的工作，但离开家也很难。我很幸运，我的丈夫对我们的儿子非常亲力亲为，在我离开期间，他能够介入，这对我们所有人都有极大的帮助。”

Steven Alan took the line for his stores and then in his showroom, which started a long and helpful relationship with him; when I took partners in the company in 2012 (including Steven), who have been extremely helpful; when I opened my first store in Silverlake—the neighborhood where I live and the community that I call home felt really special and signified an important step for the brand. Then there have been very helpful and supportive friends that I’m indebted to like Heather Taylor, Jeana Sohn, Deborah Kaplan, Naomi Scott, and Marlien Rentmeester (and others—I could go on)! All of them are moms and are all so important to the beginning of my business."">

“可能没有一个大休息，而是一系列。我想起了史蒂文艾伦为他的商店划线，然后在他的陈列室里开始了与他的漫长而有用的关系;在2012年（包括史蒂文）的公司参加了公司的合作伙伴，他们非常乐于助人;当我在Silverlake中打开我的第一家商店 - 我生活的社区和社区，我称之为家庭感到非常特别，并表示品牌的重要一步。然后有非常有帮助的和支持的朋友，我感谢像Heather Taylor，Jeana Sohn，Deborah Kaplan，Naomi Scott和Marlien Rentmeester（和其他人 - 我可以继续）！所有这些都是妈妈，对我的业务开始都很重要。“

“我们刚刚开设了第5次精品店，位于布鲁克林的Cobble Hill。接下来是纽波特海滩，在几个月内。”
