Lily, the founder of Rebel & Bolt, has always had a passion for fashion and a keen eye for quality. Growing up, she was inspired by her mother’s style and developed a love for curating outfits that balance trend and timelessness. She got her start working at a boutique in her hometown, where she learned the ins and outs of retail, from styling and social media to packaging and customer experience.

While attending the University of Arkansas—a large SEC school—she saw firsthand how many boutiques carried the same mass-produced pieces that didn’t last beyond a season. As a Kappa Kappa Gamma member, she gained a deep understanding of Southern college fashion, blending classic charm with bold, effortless style.

With Rebel & Bolt, Lily is redefining boutique shopping by offering handpicked, high-quality pieces that feel as good as they look—fashion that’s meant to be worn, loved, and repeated.
