Trisha Cole
Trisha Cole loves to bring people together. For the last 20 years or so, she has worked with hospitality clients (think food, hotels, travel destinations) to help them garner media coverage, develop partnerships, and create unique guest experiences. Before that, she was in the editorial department at Bon Appétit magazine. Trisha has recently written a book that’s a bit of a memoir, and more than anything a guidebook to good living entitled Life at the Dumpling. Trisha lives with her husband and two daughters in a dumpling of a house on a hill in East Los Angeles.

When Jaime Haskell became a mother her entire routine change. While she once had time to intentionally select what she would wear, now each morning required a grab ‘n’ go outfit and little time for anything else. Before long, Jaime noticed a gap in the women’s fashion industry as she struggled to find hat’s that would elevate her classic wardrobe of tees and jeans. As a solution, she founded Lovely Bird in 2012. By designing hats that complement the modern woman’s lifestyle and hand finishing accents inspired by her travels, Jaime showers each Lovely Bird hat with the attention and love you deserve, whoever you are, wherever you wear it.
