@madelinecash: Wow the west side is such uncharted territory for me.

@devonleecarlson: I love erewhon

@madelinecash: Tempted to get $150 tote

@devonleecarlson: I can’t help it It’s just delicious and easy Night out thooooo—— I’m really into a delicious dirty martini At a nice restaurant With tablecloths And perfect lighting

@madelinecash: Gin or vodka?

@devonleecarlson: Vodka girl🐾😎😎😎

@madelinecash: Same. Gin smells like nail polish remover to me

@devonleecarlson: My first time ever drinking gin, I took a shot of it And I’ve been scarred by it ever since

@madelinecash: Where did you grow up?

@devonleecarlson: I grew up in newbury park tho It’s like Ventura county

@madelinecash: LA forever or would you move?

@devonleecarlson: I kind of think LA forever….. but love the idea of having little places all around Coming home to LA is just the best I don’t think anywhere else could feel like home

@madelinecash: Agreed. Perenial sunshine Speaking of shots, what was your favorite birthday in recent memory?

@devonleecarlson: Hehehe Well birthdays have been extra special for me recently bc my boyfriend & I have the same birthday If you can even believe it

@madelinecash: AW! Does that work out astrologically? I’m not super astrology-pilled but that’s gotta be a good sign

STYLE CHALLENGE I’d sell it That’s like my favorite thing to do with my friends Is find something horrendous and sell them on it Make them change their minds I always win 💅

@madelinecash: You vlog religiously. How do you feel about privacy / sharing your image? How do you protect your interiority while putting your life online?

@devonleecarlson: Live laugh vlog I’m naturally an over-sharer Especially when I started posting online But as I grow up I find myself sharing a little less. I always just try to do whatever feels natural and if I’m having a day where I feel like blabbing on and on, I let myself do it But there’s also times where I don’t feel like posting anything, & I let myself do that too

@madelinecash: If you had a kid would you post the kid?

@devonleecarlson: I actually think about this often Bc right now my feelings are that I don’t want my kids to be on social media And not be too influenced by everyone online Figure out what they like irl But as for me posting them who knows, if I feel like it in the moment maybe i will I don’t like to hold myself to anything Lol

“I wanted to be a professional dancer so badly. Like in the Pussycat Dolls.”

@madelinecash: Good philosophy honestly Let’s talk Wildflower! Big fan of the cases. They’re a staple of modern feminine taste ~ There’s a heavy Y2K aesthetic—your line is full of throwbacks; phone charms and bulky headphone coverings and fat-toothed clips. Did your inspiration come from childhood?

@devonleecarlson: YEEEEEE THANK UUU Oh yeah big time Nostalgia is just everything to me I love incorporating little nods to our childhood in Wildflower My sister and I have always had so much fun designing them with our mom

@madelinecash: I love that it’s a family endeavor There is all this rhetoric surrounding girlhood right now. How do you balance this duality—being a high-powered modern businesswoman and a girl who wants to cover her phone in strawberries? I often feel, to be taken seriously, we can’t have both…and yet, you do it so well!

@devonleecarlson: UGHHHHH I love being a girl!!!!!! I just think it’s always important to have one thing on you that reflects your personality or interests or idk literally just something that makes you happy like wearing a full chic outfit from the row or something & then having like a little flower clip in your hair Or a silly phone case Or even like cute underwear lol Like just for yourself for no one else just to make you happy

@madelinecash: Yes never taking ourselves too seriously What do your phone cases about their wearer? What makes a phone an object of self expression?

@devonleecarlson: Well your phone is basically like an extension of you You have a whole life on it So you wanna dress it up and make it cute Add charms

@madelinecash: True If we’re going to be on our phones all the time, they should look as good as we do

@devonleecarlson: Literally Also I just love seeing which cases everyone picks Because sometimes it catches me so off guard And it’s just so much fun to hear why they chose that case. lol I love when boys have super girly cases

@madelinecash: What is your fave case rn?

@devonleecarlson: So many of our unreleased ones Are like my favorite cases we’ve ever made But as far as released onessssssss Our dream star case is super cute Everyone’s loving it And it’s just dreamy

@madelinecash: Where do you draw inspiration

@devonleecarlson: I always say “everywhere” but actually everywhere I find a lot of inspo vintage shopping But also like plates at restaurants Carpets and drapes in hotels I got so much inspo in Tokyo Idk literally inspo is everywhere Love Pinterest & tumblr too

@madelinecash: What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned as a co-CEO? // How do you stand out in a crowded industry?

@devonleecarlson: I think it’s really important to bond with your customer Also be thrifty And don’t get distracted by other people’s flashiness Invest in the product before investing in a fancy office or a big team We ran our business out of our house for the first 5/6 years

@madelinecash: Don’t spring for the 3k ergonomic chair right away

@devonleecarlson: Just get creative and really be passionate about what you’re doing Exactly

@madelinecash: Hypothetically, if you’d never gone down the Wildflower route, what would you be doing today?

@devonleecarlson: So crazy to think about where I’d be if this never happened I wanted to be a professional dancer So badly Like in the pussycat dolls Was my dream But I think I’m too tall to be a professional dancer
