COVRY SUNWEAR: ATHINA WANG & FLORENCE SHIN ARE THE WOMEN BEHIND THIS BRAND WITH A PURPOSE! ASIAN AMERICAN WOMEN WHO TOOK AN IDEA AND MADE IT A COMPANY! Jun 28, 2019

Athina and Florence understand how challenging it is to find a pair of frames that fit your face comfortably. Shopping for eyewear that embraces diverse facial features has long been a seemingly impossible task. Most frames in the market either sit on our cheeks, slide down our nose, or rise up our face when we smile. They knew there had to be a way to wear frames with confidence, so they created Elevated Fit® and started their journey to break away from the standard fit. FOLLOW @SHOPCOVRY ON INSTAGRAM !!!!!!

MY STORY: HOST & ACTRESS ELLIE LEE Mar 01, 2019

Hey everyone, my name is Ellie Lee and I am a Korean-American on-camera host & actress from New Jersey. I come from immigrant parents who worked hard in the retail business (children's clothing & shoe stores) growing up but I never had plans to get into fashion or retail-I had other dreams. Like everyone, I got a 9-5 job after college but my heart was yearning for other things. I quit my job a year and a half later when I booked a small play in NYC-it was the dream and I knew it was the calling I needed to go after everything I ever dreamt of. I hope my story inspires you to go chase after all that you want in this short life. You can follow me on Instagram at instagram.com/ellielee.tv <3 SUBSCRIBE, RATE, AND REVIEW, LOVE YOU GUYS!
