‘These are all the the things we hoped she’d say.’ You know that feeling? We scroll through as many interviews in a given month as we create ourselves and it’s always a thrill when — whether a stylish designer or organic farmer — the interviewee serves up exactly what we wanted to read.

 Joyce Lee is head of design at Madewell, and she embodies the laid-back but always stylish vibe of the women’s fashion brand. We asked the hard working mama to join our My Favorites series where we explore the wellness and lifestyle go-tos of some of the most interesting professionals out there. Her top picks and stylish insights are just the sort of accessible-chic gems we hoped she’d deliver. Get ready to get inspired…

  1. I usually love these round ups, but it’s a bit disappointing that you’re highlighting a fast fashion brand which goes against everything that TCM is suppose to stand for. I’d love to see J. Crew, Madewell, Anthropologie and others drop their fast fashion practices which as we all know by now are exploitative, anti-environmental, and anti-feminist. Until they fundamentally clean up their act, I wouldn’t give these brands any air time. We need to pressure them to look at a triple bottom line and not just their profits.
