Boho, chill LA babe who grew up on the beaches of Venice.  Family's been in Hollywood in various capacities since the silent film days, but Larla is the main character of her life and wanted to try something different so she went off to NYU before transferring to Columbia to study English literature.  NYC really influenced her style, allowing her to blend the beachy LA vibes with NYC's sleeker, sophisticated ones.

One of Larla's strongest points is her mental resilience, her ability to not let anything faze her, and she took to NYC incredibly well.  Her already chill inner vibe, combined with the meditation and green juice self-care practices she learned back home before they were mainstream, kept her going through a six-month stint in investment banking (BIG mistake), but she met her partner in her Analyst class and he supported her as she left IB to apply for the Iowa Writer's Workshop.  She'd had a string of successes in college, winning awards for her writing, and she decided to have a go at it in a more formal capacity.

Larla did get accepted into Iowa, but opted not to go -- she was incredibly excited about a political candidate, and her man was moving to DC for law school anyway, so she jumped headfirst into politics and was part of a winning presidential campaign.  Sure, she saw some unsavory stuff and was considering a White House job, but she was tapped to go into the lobbying world, which led her to doing secretive crisis communication work, allowing her to stay out of the spotlight as she wanted (however, if you're in the field, you know exactly who she is).

Larla is the mother of two young children, 8

Yes, eventually!  Covid put a damper on things, since her firm's business really took off and she was juggling the kids' virtual schooling.  She'll be solidly independent by the time the kids are in HS.  She's in no rush.[/quote]

Phew. I’m a fan. *applause*[/quote]

How did you get all that from the basic style like James Perse? Seriously just because the price is $165 this dress is no less basic than any other Amazon find...

Wow, you’re literalism must be limiting. (You’re I’ll certainly have been derailing discussion lately.) Even so, doesn’t paying ten-fold for a basic item tell you something about the person?  The response was a work of *fiction* but these brands do have their tribes, that’s what PP was playing off.

We already did Amazon (covid Walmart), no?[/quote]

Thank you for explaining. I thought it was more about the style and lifestyle around the brand. But I guess crazy price for a basic item does talks volume as well. Thank you again, I understood the game a bit better. I am slow! Lol[/quote]
