Home Is Where The Calling Is

Behind the seams with SWOOP

Meet Virginia Lynn Peterson – founder of Swoop, a loungewear and intimates line redefining comfort and confidence. As a nurse, Virginia worked endless 12-hour shifts and struggled to find a bra that could keep up. Instead of settling, she designed her own—and from that moment, Swoop was born. Her brand is built on authenticity: her models are her fellow nurse friends, her photographer Krista Kandrick is also a nurse, and her mission is rooted in empowering women through pieces that truly work for their lives. Virginia’s vision and grit have taken her all the way to being named a 2025 Tory Burch Fellow—one of only 50 women chosen out of thousands across the country. We loved talking with Virginia about turning necessity into innovation, building a business with heart, and what’s next for Swoop. Tune in to our conversation—you’ll walk away inspired by her story of resilience, creativity, and community.

Coloring Outside the Lines

This week, we’re raising a glass to Stacey Novelli — the creative force behind Stacey Novelli Designs and a mom who turned childhood dreams into a vibrant career. As a little girl, Stacey would sit by her grandmother’s side making clothes for her Barbies — and that’s where the magic began. She instantly fell in love with fabric, pattern, and design. That early spark, nurtured by a beloved high school art teacher who became a lifelong mentor, set her on a path of passion and purpose. From her years as a senior design director at Lilly Pulitzer to taking the brave leap to launch her own studio, Stacey’s story is a bold, beautiful reminder of what happens when you follow your heart — and your art.
