Hi, I’m Livier Olson.
I am a graduate student at Lindenwood University in pursuit of the Master of Science in Fashion Business and Entrepreneurship degree and this blog serves as my directed final project.

Watch me dabble in crochet lace, pursue my dreams, and just live through my raw, happy life.
