Hey Babes!! I have gotten requests to do a "Meet the Owner" blog post and I figured my Birthday would be the perfect day to publish the post! I asked y'all to submit some of your questions for me to answer and today I have chosen 21 of them to answer.
1. Who is the Owner of Wrapped. By Sav and how old is she?
For those of you who do not know, my name is Savannah Botkin (@savannah_blythe on insta) and I am 21 years old as of today!
2. When and why did Sav start WBS?
I started WBS in May 2016 at the age of 18! Wrapped. By Sav started as a hobby but very quickly grew into much more. I started at first inspired by my passion for fashion and love of creativity. I have learned so much in the past almost 2 years and I am so grateful for all of my followers and customers for supporting my brand and allowing me to follow my dream.
3. Is Sav in college or doing Wrapped full time? What is Sav's degree in? How does Sav balance school and work?
I attended Texas Christian University (TCU) for my first 2 years of college and then transferred to Texas A&M this past fall to finish college. Although I am taking 15 hours of college classes I am doing Wrapped. By Sav in just about every minute of free time I have. Sometimes it can be difficult to make sure I am devoting my time and my heart into both work and school. The biggest thing for me is that I try and get my school work done early so I am not cramming to get things done and rushing them. But the other thing I have to say is I honestly don't get much sleep, but thats okay because I am doing what I love and I know it will be worth it in the end. Once I graduate with my degree in Communications I plan on continuing to grow and develop the brand!

16. How can I shop Wrapped. By Sav in person? Can I come to your house?
This is another question that I am always being asked and my mom gets asked this all the time as well. Like I said above I currently live in College Station, TX so all of my jewelry is here with me. I operate out of an in home office and I simply do not have the time to have everyone come to try jewels on unfortunately. BUT I love traveling with my jewels and bringing them to you.

18. I remember you having models for a photoshoot a while back, are you ever going to do something like that again? How can I be involved?
Yes we have had a few photoshoots with models but we do plan to have more in the future. When we do we will ask for models via our IG feed & story so make sure you have your post notifications on for us and check in with us daily!!
19. How do you decide what layers well with other pieces? Can you help me choose which piece I should buy and wear together?
I usually try to include basic chokers with a choker that dangles or has a charm. I also think that there isn't a concrete set of rules for what you should and should not layer together. If you like it and feel confident in it you should rock it. We are also are launching a collection of pre-layered pieces that are to DIE for!! That will be launching soon so make sure you are signed up for our email list and checking our Instagram daily to be the first to know.
