I always love seeing what influencers create with the platforms they’ve built. A few favorites have been Liz’s new online shop, Olive Lane, Grace’s podcast, Bad on Paper, and now Eva’s clothing and lifestyle brand, The Happily Eva After Collection. For her first holiday collection, called Roma Mia, she pulled inspiration from her Italian family.

Her seasonal collections will always be limited edition series of products that reflect whatever she’s inspired by for the season ahead. I’ve watched her work hard and obsess over every single detail of every single product in this collection for months. It has been inspiring to see her take her dream and make it into a reality over the last year.

When she first showed me her lookbook, I knew right away that I wanted the Lenora coat, named for her grandmother. It’s so striking and just fun to wear for the holidays. But Eva convinced me to try the Eva dress too. I thought I would feel self-conscious in it in my postpartum body but it is one of the most flattering dresses I’ve ever worn. The fabric is crazy soft and I wish she had it in more colors because I’d buy one of each.

Congratulations on a beautiful first collection, Eva! I can’t wait to see what you do next!
