Senior Stylist And Shoot Manager

Throwback to the year 2008, way back when online shopping wasn’t even a thing (can you believe that?!) Our CEO extraordinaire Sarah dreamed of creating an online community that loved getting packages delivered for the weekend and experiencing exceptional customer service at their fingertips. After a 21st birthday trip to Paris, Sarah returned with an idea to do just that! 15 years later, Beginning Boutique is the go-to online destination for all your weekend event needs! That’s right - if you’ve got a ticket to it, we’ve got an outfit for it!
