Liesl Neil

Stylist

-How long have you worked for Hot Mama?

A year and a half

-What's your favorite part of working here

The conversations we have with customers and the people we meet every day.  And also putting outfits together, it’s like playing in a giant closet:)

-Where are you originally from? Or where did you grow up?

I was born and raised in Hannibal, MO.  I went to college at Southeast Missouri State University and moved to St Louis after graduation.

-Where did you go to High School? (a little STL humor:))

Hannibal High School

- What are your favorite things to do in St Louis?

Grants farm is our favorite place for the summer!  I am so excited for it to open in April.

-Favorite St Louis restaurant.

My husband and I like to try different beers we love to go places that brew their own. Kirkwood Station Brewing Co. and The Schlafly Bottleworks and Tap Room are a few of our favorites. All of these places have delicious food and great beers! 

-What are your favorite brands at Hot Mama?

Joe’s Jeans, AG, Free People, Michael Stars, XCVI, Billabong

-Jeans? Skinny, straight, boot-cut, flare or ankle?

Mostly skinny in my closet with a few straight and ankle mixed in for fun!

-What is your favorite Hot Mama core value? 

“We empower moms”  Some moms need to be reminded to take care of THEMSELVES too.  I love that I can play a part in that and be an extra cheerleader in their lives.

-What part of the Hot Mama Manifesto best describes you?  

“The Mac and Cheese Maker.” I make mac and cheese for my daughter almost every other day! I am also “The Back Scratcher” Franky can’t go to sleep with out her nightly back rub.  I may or may not be guilty of letting my dog clean up the crumbs too.

-What trend are you most excited about this season?

I am loving the tennis shoe trend.  Like our Superga’s. It’s casual, comfy and cute! 

I also love all the floral blazers and jackets, so feminine!
