What is the most important thing you have done to build your business? Stepping out of my comfort zone. Like I stated before, I used to be really shy and wouldn’t dare attend events alone. But since I’ve stepped out my comfort zone I’ve seen a change in my brand and my life.
What are your favorite southern brands? The Tiny Tassel, Lilly Pulitzer, Kate Spade,
What is your favorite item or piece of clothing to wear/use while doing business?  A pleated midi-skirt. It’s just something about a midi-skirt that makes me feel like a girl boss.

Michiel is a Black Southern Belle living a lowcountry life. I love all things fashion, home decor and southern! When I am not running around doing fun stuff for Black Southern Belle, I live in antique stores and have a minor obsession with historic homes :)
