Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you based? How do you spend your days?

Hello! I'm Jess -- a DIYer, crafter, seamstress, jewelry designer, and vintage textile collector based in Portland, OR. For my day job, I work remotely as an Executive Assistant. The duality of creative chaos and structured order exists within me. I live with my partner and we are currently waiting very patiently for our first baby to arrive in about a month! Life will be looking different very soon!

How did you hear about Noihsaf Bazaar / when did you become a part of the community?

I can't remember how I heard about Noihsaf but it's definitely my favorite place to browse. The curation is an exceptional mix of high quality brands and unique vintage items.

What is your favorite Noihsaf score?

My favorite and most used score is a Christy Dawn day dress that is perfect for just about any occasion. I have so many sterling silver baubles I have saved with full intent to purchase so that may change very soon.

How would you describe your personal style? Do you have any style inspirations that you return to?

I don’t follow too many trends and just go with what I really love. Lately, I've been obsessed with black and white patterns of any kind. I also cannot resist wacko vintage patterns - anywhere from vibrant florals to geometric, psychedelic prints. My overflowing closet can attest (which is why I started reselling in the first place).

Do you have any designers/brands that you’re especially into these days?

Myself! I’m working toward a fully handmade / secondhand / vintage wardrobe one day. Whatever I can't fill in from secondhand and vintage, I've been aspiring to sew myself - so satisfying!

What trend are you currently loving, or what trend would you like to see?

Love seeing a matching two piece linen set. Once I have the baby, that's my wardrobe plan for the rest of the summer.

Favorite song to play when getting dressed?

Anything from Bad Bunny's album "Debí Tirar Más Fotos"
