With this blistering cold weather that has once again found itself here in lovely Columbus, there’s only one thing that makes it better…thinking about Resort Wear!

Whether or not you’re going on a mini-vacay soon, stores are filling their racks with great new numbers that actually can be worn all year round!Speaking of great resort wear (stay tuned for another feature coming soon), have you checked out Ladybird Boutique in the Short North?With bright colors in the equipment blouses and Paul and Joe Sister Dresses, you’re sure to be styling this winter and spring!From a girl who loved fashion and playing dress up at an early age, Allison Jayjack, owner of Ladybird, brought her passion and talent to the Short North.

This Marshall University and soccer player alum, started Ladybird after holding many trunk shows through her journey. They definitely paid off, because we’re fortunate enough to have one of the greatest boutiques right here in Columbus featuring designers Rag and Bone, Habitual, Levi’s and more!

After living and working in top cities such as New York City, Toronto and Chicago, what does Allison enjoy most about Columbus?
