Meet Ariel Talley | Owner of La Bella Beauty LLC

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ariel Talley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ariel, how do you think about risk?
I truly believe that without risks there are no rewards. A couple years ago I came to a crossroads of playing it safe or taking a step out on faith. I had a routine, go to work, do my job, stay in my lane and maintain. Then one day I said; life is too short to not take risks and go after things I really want in life. I wanted to own my own clothing line but was scared of failure; however I would deeply regret decades from now if I didn’t at least try. Through taking risks, there have been ups and downs and hurdles but… that’s life! Mistakes teach us lessons and when we actually recognize and digest those, it helps us grow. Taking risks in life, when it comes to my personal goals and career, has me on the path of never having any regrets because I refuse to live life with a bunch of “what ifs?”.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am the proud owner of La Bella Beauty LLC, an online clothing boutique for women. I’ve always been into fashion, I studied fashion for a short time in college and always wanted to do something with that in life. A couple years ago I just decided to go for it. Started reading up on business practices, obtaining licenses and getting the ball rolling. Although I hit a couple of hurdles when it came to finding the right vendor with the best quality, customer service, prices and delivery times; everything has been a learning lesson to just help me grow and find what really works for me and my brand. My brand caters to the 20’s plus age group with a variety of styles. Whether you like to dress classy, go to the gym or have a night out on the town, I cater to you. From head to toe my brand offers clothing, shoes and handbags, in the future I will start to incorporate more accessories as well!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love going to the battery! When I have family or friends in town, that is where we are going! They literally have everything you need in one convenient area. Grab some drinks and play games at Punch Bowl Social, watch basketball games at Yardhouse or go to a baseball game at Suntrust Park. It is literally the perfect place to spend the day regardless of the weather.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My family has always been pillars in my success. Especially my mother, she always tells me I have a wild imagination yet always encourages and supports me…she also gives me the hard truths. No matter how crazy my ideas are, she rolls with it. Even if she thinks it’s a bad idea which makes me appreciate her even more. My friends have also been a big support. When I tell them my ideas, they are excited. When I throw events like a pop up shop, they show up and support me. But above all, shoutout to God! He gives me the strength and courage to go after my dreams.
