CityViewNC.com | 37 BY TAYLOR AUBE F ox is a New England native who grew up in Connecticut and went on to study at the University of Maine. In 2012, she moved to Fayetteville with her husband who is a graduate of West Point. Before the move down south, the newfound seamstress was working in Manhattan at a hotel in the sales and marketing department. Once they landed in Fayetteville, she had trouble finding a job. Fox explained, "I worked at my church as the communica- tion director, then I had my son and want- ed to make sure that I was home for him consistently. Six months aer his birth I missed working, so I started thinking of something I could do in my free time that was fun for me and wouldn't be a chore." In high school, Fox worked at the clothing store American Eagle Outfitters and she almost attended the Fashion In- stitute of Technology, one of the leading fashion business and design schools in the country. She explained, "One day I went out and bought some fabric and made scarfs, aer that I started my store. I've al- ways liked creative marketing so it's been fun to tie that in with my blog and shop. I also love working with other small busi- nesses in the area." Petite Etoile Shoppe specializes in ador- able printed skirts and so, chic scarves. For the summer, Fox has diverged into the market of kimonos. A perfect beach throw or a light layer for a nighttime walk, the kimonos are both trendy and perfect for any summer occasion. Her creations are made with classic seams that will never go out of fashion. She is a firm believer in the mantra that it's better to make a quality piece that's going to last a long time than to make something a person will immedi- ately toss into the back of their closet. e store's aesthetic is clean lines, classic pat- terns and items that everyone can wear, no matter what shape or size. Fox explained her vision as "wanting to make people feel beautiful," She continued, "whether it's in my handmade clothes or helping peo- ple through my style blog, I want to show how they can feel better about themselves by pursing something or doing something that they love."
