This Week’s Small Business Spotlight
Daily Dressings
Location: Philadelphia, PA
The Brand Story
When Tiara B. was laid off from her corporate role in technology in 2019, she experienced a deep state of anxiety and depression. However, she knew that in order to get over her feelings she had to get active.
“I knew I was creative, collaborative, analytical, and resourceful. I just needed to apply these exact skills to my vision,” Tiara shares with BrownStyle Magazine exclusively. “While unemployed, I began to do vigorous research on starting a business, building a brand, and sourcing working capital for a business. If major corporations abide by a guideline, it makes all the sense to develop a plan.”
Tiara B’s creative mind developed Daily Dressings™, a lifestyle brand that brings a deeply curated collection of jewelry inspired by the art of vintage nostalgia, minimalism, and divine femininity.
“I believe so hard in visualizing, writing, and taking action that to this day, I developed the Daily Dressings™ Mindfulness Journal and Planner to inspire creatives like myself to further execute,” she shares.

What Makes Daily Dressings A Small Business To Watch
Designed with the “baddest babe” in mind, Daily Dressings features intricate designs ranging from the ever so delicate and whimsical to the much more striking and exaggerated.
The beauty of the curated collection is that it can be worn as single statement essentials or layered for extra pizzazz, according to Tiara. “What I appreciate most when it comes to styling jewelry is that it adds personality to your wardrobe and accentuates your natural beauty,” Tiara explains.
The Showstopper
Daily Dressings has partnered with several local organizations to participate in community pop-up shops and events. “We have partnered with Anthropologie in Rittenhouse Philadelphia, now for the 2nd year, to host our very own pop-up shop,” Tiara tells us about her many collaborations.
She continues, “Daily Dressings represents all creatives, innovators, and visionaries at heart. We continue to use our platform to spread positivity, and social awareness. We also motivate and inspire.”
What’s Next For Daily Dressings
Tiara is continuously working with local creatives on their brand campaigns to drive the mission of Daily Dressings. “Our goals are mapped out, but ideally to stand by our visions and values— which are to Stay Gold, Stay Solid, and Grow Organically. These are key drivers behind our expansion.”
Tiara is also working on a film in honor of hitting their 5th anniversary milestone!
