Ann Mashburn is absolute icon. Her personal style is undeniably brilliant - certifiably so even, considering her glossy years working as a fashion editor at Vogue and Glamour. Restless to create a one-stop-shop brimming with the very best of everything, in 2007 Ann and her husband Sid made the move down South to Atlanta and opened their first store together. A combination of their own designs and their favorite brands. Thirteen years later, they've five stores across the country, and a cult following.

In the diary she keeps on her site, "You Need This... I Promise," Ann offers up a deep dive into her favorite things of late, and just how they fit into the mise-en-scène of her life - and trust me, it's always a great read. While the country powers down and settles in to a slower pace, we caught an inside look at exactly what a day in the life of the fashion favorite looks like!
