TASTEMAKERS: Kelly Carney

Dear Fashionistas,

Have you had troubles finding the solution for your “style on the go”? Wait no longer because Therapie Boutique is the answer for you! Therapie Boutique is San Diego’s FIRST fashion truck that brings savvy and affordable fashion directly to you, on wheels of course. Eleanor (also known as Ellie) and her Captain Kelly Carney have been in rolling in style for 14 months now. Their mission is to help busy women indulge in a little retail therapy as well as nourish their confidence through the clothing they wear. If you are looking for must have styles for this spring and summer, find out where they are going to be next on their website’s calendar of events (http://therapieboutique.com).

Maxi Dresses, Scarves, and Jewelry...oh my! Therapie Boutique has options for every woman regardless of size. Kelly states that Therapie's overall style is "feminine with an edge". Her current loves include quirky items such as owl necklaces and anything with a chevron print.

We would now like to formally introduce Kelly Carney, the mastermind behind Therapie Boutique.

After gaining 25 years of retail experience Kelly realized that it was time to move on and have fun. Her idea of fun was to buy a 27 foot RV and turn it into a chic boutique. Kelly is quite business savvy. She informed me that it is all about having guts and not to be afraid of the unknown when becoming an entrepreneur. One of the most important lessons we learned from Kelly is that we live in a mobile world and it is crucial that you stay on top of changing technology and social media for these tools are a way to connect your business directly to your customer. Also working in her favor is her knowledge behind following trends. Kelly has big plans for Therapie this year, some of which include attending San Diego Entrepreneur Day for the love she has for the event. Kelly has proven that it takes dedication to run a successful business. One of her favorite quotes is by Eleanor Roosevelt, “The future belong to those that believe in the beauty of their dreams”. Kelly, San Diego loves your dreams!
