Sometimes inspiration—and more importantly, know-how—can come in uncomfortable places.
Sarah Cunningham was miserable in her first real job after college. But she was learning the ropes of fashion and getting one step closer to her dream: opening her very own store. And A Lovely Universe is the realization of that dream; a lifestyle shop in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn that focuses on vintage-inspired apparel, accessories, and home decor.
The shop has also led to another project, The Bond Street Co., a branding and marketing business where Sarah offers guidance for young entrepreneurs and designers who need support from someone their own age.
