Happy Friday! Today, I'm SUPER excited to share with you a shop that I have followed since they first opened! I remember, Cameron was only couple of months old and some of my fellow IG mom's were posting about this new shop called Radical Kid Co. It peeked my interest, so I decided to check it out. I remember seeing this super cute distressed denim vest and I fell in love with it! It was totally unisex (most that I had seen before favored on the "girly" side) which I was super happy about! I waited until Cameron could sit up before I placed an order for it. Trust me, I wanted it sooner, LOL, but I wanted it to look right! Either way, when I finally got it in the mail I was besides myself! It was SO. MUCH. BETTER. IN. PERSON! Even my husband was impressed (which doesn't happen often!)
Vest: Radical Kid Co.
Tee: Ozzie + Olive
Beanie: Beau Hudson
Pants: Two Little Kings
Needless to say, I have ordered more items from Radical Kid Co and have been more than happy with my purchases! Quality, Originality and Style are a few of the the traits I love about this shop, so I was STOKED to feature them today! Heres a little Q&A with Keaira, who by the way has the most ADORABLE little boy AND another on the way!
How did you come up with your brand/shop name?
My son, he's my wild and rad kid.
How long have you been in business?
It was 6 months on April 20th!
What’s your favorite thing about being an entrepreneur?
Being able to make time for family. Having that freedom to make my
hours so that I can be a wife and mother and still make money is very
important to me. My son is only getting older and I never want to miss a
moment. Plus it's cool being a girl boss!
What was the first item that you created and sold?
The first items I started to sell were infinity scarves. My first one I sold was a red plaid one.
What is your favorite item in your shop right now? The vest. All of them, but especially the original one. That was the
first kind of vest I made for my son the summer before I decided to open
a shop.
Where do you draw your inspiration from? I sound repetitive, but seriously it's all from my son. His personality
really is a huge influence. Also, I like to go outside. I like to look
at what people are wearing. Trends change so much so it's important to
me that I stay on top of what people will actually wear and buy.
What are some of your favorite shops?
Zara, h&m, gap, and nextdirect. I have a huge list of Instagram
shops because honestly I shop on Instagram more than any other place,
but it's too many to name and I'll feel bad if I leave someone out.
Any advice for someone wanting to start their own business?
Just do it. My friend Jenn over at Lazy Sunday Kids convinced me to
just do it. I was so nervous, I was doubtful, I was questioning my
abilities and she's really the one who gave me the push. If they like
it, great and if not, atleast you can say you did it. It's all a
learning process. Everyday I'm learning new things and asking my fellow
shops advice because I honestly want longevity and I want to be the
best. At the same time I want to remain humble, grateful, and always
thankful. No matter how many followers or orders I sell in a week, I
would never have any of it without God and the people who support me.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what are 3 things you couldn’t live without?
My son, my phone, and my body pillow, because that's the only way I can get a good nights sleep!
Share a fun fact about you!
I'm extremely flexible, so much so as a child I was in gymnastics and
really wanted to be a contortionist cirque du soleil!
