Episode Synopsis

From the Michigan lakes and Connecticut shorelines to the vineyards of Bordeaux, Kelley Moueix’s journey has been shaped by her unwavering curiosity and creativity. In this episode of Homeplace, Kelley talks about how her early interest in art and fashion led to a career in luxury beauty in New York and later Paris, where love pulled her to her current home in Southwestern France. She reflects on what she learned from each transition (or “changement d'air” as they say in French) and how she recreated her version of home every time she landed someplace new. Kelley shares some hilarious stories of her early days in Europe and how she traded a fast-paced career at L’Oréal for a new chapter as a wife, mother, hostess with the mostest, and founder of Maison Marrain, her line of beautifully designed handbags. Together, Anna and Kelley explore the importance of play as well as the rituals, relationships, and creative expressions that carry us through life.
