Toast: Laurel & Derrick

We're a bit partial to today's toast, and not just because one half of this couple is also the co-owner of POSH! You already know Laurel, but you may not know her husband Derrick. Together, these two plus their kiddos make up an important element of our POSH team. It’s impossible to imagine a day without Laurel’s infectious laugh or Derrick dropping in to say hello (and sometimes saving the day on last minute orders). We wouldn’t be anywhere without these two, so we’re taking this occasion to toast a couple that’s tried-and-true and a blessing to have in our lives, both professionally and personally. It’s been four years today since these two said I do, and we wish them many, many more years to come. To celebrate, we’re sharing pictures from their gorgeously POSH wedding. Enjoy, and Happy Fourth Anniversary, Laurel and Derrick!

Agenda: Laurel Howell

You met Jami, now you can see what inspires the other half of POSH. Co-owner and partner Laurel Howell shares her Agenda.

1. What are you most looking forward to this summer?

    Spending more time with my family while my children are out of school. 

    Also, I love water, being anywhere near it. Oceanside, poolside - it doesn't 

    matter. It all makes me feel like I am on vacation.

2. What event are you most looking forward to?

    Shopping in NYC at tabletop market and taking the family to spend time in 

    NYC. Even though the fall is the most perfect time to visit and summers are

    a bit hot, you can always find amazing stuff to do.

3. - 4. What personal items can you not live without?

    Iced coffees from Starbucks for day and Skinny Girl anything on ice for those 
    rare moments when I imbibe. Watermelon at any time. While at work, I 
    need a fan. It gets really hot in the warehouse during Texas summers. Plus 
    a radio. I really need this all the time. Music just puts you in a better mood. 

5. What's your favorite thing to do with your family?
    Late night and drive-in movies in our pajamas. Nothing like laughing with the 
    fam in an empty theatre.
