Guest Episode: Hey Y’all! It’s Elyce Arons!
This week on Well, I’ll Be Blonde, Emily and Lily welcome the incredible Elyce Arons — co-founder of Kate Spade and CEO of Frances Valentine — for a heartfelt conversation about friendship, fashion, and finding joy in the journey.
Elyce takes us behind the scenes of her inspiring career, from building one of the most iconic brands in fashion with her best friend Katy to creating Frances Valentine, a label rooted in timeless style and pure joy. She opens up about the personal stories that influence her designs, the lessons she’s learned from decades in the industry, and the deep bond of friendship that continues to shape her work today.
But it’s not all business — we also dive into how human connection keeps us grounded in a fast-paced, tech-driven world, how home design trends mirror our lifestyles, and the cultural sparks that inspire creativity every day. This episode feels like sitting down with a good friend who’s been there, built it, and is generous enough to share the wisdom (and the laughs) along the way.
If you’ve ever dreamed of chasing something big, honoring the friendships that make life meaningful, or simply adding more joy to your everyday style, this one’s for you.
