  I am excited to announce that I now have a new site, workshops, and services to share!  Ever since I realized that it was time to close down Jess LC, I have been putting the puzzle pieces together and discovered that as a newly pretired person who spends her day helping people. And while [...]

  This week there is a lot to be thankful for. Primarily in the Jess LC arena. I would like to dedicate today’s Thankful For post to everyone who has supported Jess LC over the past fourteen years. The “stylish” ankle bracelet design that started it all… I would like to thank the fateful women [...]

  As we close the Jess LC shop tonight at 6p CST I think this sweet, sweet email from a dear customer sums up all that I’ve hoped to accomplish over the past 14 years.   Jess & company - What a bittersweet moment it was this evening to carefully unwrap the blue tissue encasing [...]

  Just five days left until the Jess LC shop closes on Friday, November 2nd (6p CST).  Feel free to order remaining styles at 25% off by using the code FINALFINALSALE.

  First of all, I am blown away by the emails, comments, and orders that have come in since my announcement to close the Jess LC shop on November 2nd. Thank you so much, guys. Your support makes me even more excited to share this next chapter of my career! For those people who have [...]

  On August 16th, 2007 I moved into a tiny Chicago studio. My parents helped me U-Haul my belongings from Michigan to my new Lakeview address. All of the boxes completely covered the floor space in the new apartment. And when I realized that the over-sized closet wasn’t large enough to fit my bed and [...]

  Today I’m excited to announce that we have two new collections over at Jess LC. We now have fresh stationery and brand new lucite trays! We partnered with Pencil Shavings Studio to create incredible gold and white lucite trays (that are interchangeable, so you can swap out the patterns as often as you like and order [...]

Today is the last day of our 15% off shop-wide sale over at Jess LC. Details here.   

Hi all! We were beyond impressed by the submissions for this year’s Design Your Look contest—serious talent. So as we explained last week, the entries are now all on the Design Your Look Contest board on Jess’ Pinterest. The look that gets the most repins by noon on Monday, August 20 will win! Remember, we will be monitoring [...]

Happy Friday! Rather than doing a typical Thankful For post this week I’d like to share my thanks for the ladies that help make Jess LC happen. It has been an incredible summer getting to work with Kylie and Caitlin and I am so thankful and impressed by their ability to learn quickly and think [...]
