INTERVIEWED: Kate Simpson, director of Bobbles & Lace in Marblehead.
LISTENING: Podcast: “Crime Junkie” – It’s so good!
Audiobook: “101 Essays that will change the Way you Think” by Brianna Wiest.
Music: Indie country and rap… Noah Kahan and Drake.
WATCHING: “The Bachelor” (new season on Hulu).
“Love is Blind” and “Grey’s Anatomy” (both on Netflix) – I’m a serial watcher. And “Friends.” I fall asleep watching “Grey’s Anatomy” reruns.
READING: “The Mountain is You” by Brianna Wiest – like a self-help book.
“A Court of Thorns and Roses” by Sarah J. Maas – it’s fiction.
SOMETHING PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU OR YOUR CAREER: I was a kindergarten teacher before this in Roxbury. I tried hard to like it, but I didn’t. I graduated in 2022, taught for two years before making this major career switch into fashion… I’m very happy I made the leap.
WHAT YOU ENJOY ABOUT MARBLEHEAD: I really enjoy the people – a good little community full of happy people walking around. I’m new here and I live in the city. Marblehead is a nice home away from home.
