đź’Ž Guest: Marie McCarthy Founder of Fiat Lux and Rose Gold's Piercing & Tattoo

In this episode, personal stylist Jennine Jacob and fashion journalist Kristen Philipkoski talk with Marie McCarthy, founder of fine jewelry store Fiat Lux and Rose Gold's Piercing and Tattoo in San Francisco.

Marie shares how jewelry, tattoos, and piercings can be forms of power, rebellion, self-love, and pure fun—especially as we age. We discuss:

  • Why women are getting piercings and tattoos later in life
  • How style is about how you feel, not just how you look
  • Using clothes and accessories as a language to communicate your mood, politics, or power
  • How trends reflect society and why Marie ignores them
  • Her personal style "rules" (hello, black skinny jeans forever)
  • Why accessories are the secret to feeling cool in any outfit
