YOYA's 20 Questions: Julie Siden
Every mom holds her own magic - that arsenal of must have products and best kept secrets which allow her to get through the day and on occasion make motherhood look like a breeze. Each week, we'll use YOYA's 20 Questions to unlock the vault and provide a sneak peek into the essentials of our favorite moms.
This week we're highlighting Julie Siden - mom of two daughters and designer behind SiD NYC. Julie's love of fashion started at an early age. If she wasn't wearing her beloved red and white Danskin bodysuit, she'd have on her father's sweatshirt as a dress, finished with a thick elastic belt. Julie has stayed true to her original and eclectic style, and was eventually inspired to start her line - SiD NYC. We love her collection of vintage denim, reworked with custom embroidery, pompoms and fringe.
Enjoy learning more about Julie, her go-to vintage shop and the sweet snacks she can't live without!
