La Jolie MLN gives back…
Our Mission: It is important to La Jolie MLN to give back to the community, to women who don’t have the same opportunity as others. And, for that reason, we continue to participate in several giving back programs throughout the community and throughout each year.
We are starting off the 2024 year by participating in donating dresses to ‘We Pop Up of Elmhurst’ and the ‘Dreams Delivered’ event held each year by The Woman’s Club of Evanston. They, along with La Jolie MLN believe every student, regardless of means, should be able to attend senior prom. In that spirit, We Pop Up of Elmhurst, Dreams Delivered and La Jolie MLN are happy to collect items to donate.
For more information about “Dreams Delivered” please visit their website HERE and for more information on We Pop Up of Elmhurst visit HERE.
Story Time…
As a little girl, I would be asked what I want to be when I grow up. I would confidently reply, I want to be a clothing designer and a respected leader. Fast forward 30 years, after working in the corporate world, traveling, getting married and having children, the aspirations of my youth inspire me today. I want to create clothes that make women feel both feminine and powerful, beautiful and strong, sophisticated and elevated. It takes a moment to make a first impression. Dressing well sets the tone, so one can own that moment.
I launched La Jolie MLN to give women a place to do what they love most — find a style that expresses your individual feminine power, whether in the workplace or in everyday life. Hand-picked fashion items that will help you mix and match for just the right statement and for any occasion.
We’ll share stories from the front. You’ll get to hear from women in top positions throughout corporate America, entrepreneurs who launched start-ups and those sitting in power positions in the world of finance, community volunteering and in the home. The MLN in our name are the initials of my three young daughters. It’s my mission to give them the lessons all of you can share with us.
So, let’s share our experiences, strength and stories. I cordially invite you to join a cohort of empowered women.
We want to hear your voice!
