About

I’ve been lucky in life because I have had the opportunity to travel the globe and explore new places. As a lover of fashion, I’ve always enjoyed scouring stores and markets in different small towns, cities, states, and even countries for unique pieces as well as scoping out fun trends and designs.

My friends and family always wanted to know, “Where did you get that? Can you style me for an event? Can you be my personal shopper?” (Yes to all of those things.) I decided to follow my passion and open a store. I started online first and then quickly opened a storefront in the beautiful historic train depot in Mankato, MN.

Fast forward to 5 wonderful years later in the depot and we are now moving to a larger location (still in downtown Mankato) at 631 S. Front St.

Vivian Rose is a mix of unique and timeless clothing for real women who need clothes for work and play. Clothes that make women feel like they have a versatile and functional wardrobe. Throw in a dash of body positivity, girl power, and some vintage glam and you have us in a nutshell. We now have home wares, beauty products, and books too!

My motto is exactly that of Olive Garden’s (we keep it classy like that) - “When you are here, you’re family”. I want you to feel great shopping in my store. I want you to feel like you are shopping with friends. (Bring them too!)

I can’t wait to see you.

P.S. Want to strike up a conversation with me? (I’ll start talking first- don’t worry.) But, just in case, here is a list of topics that we can talk about ad nauseam: dogs, pop culture, true crime, the royal family, Dolly Parton, travel, and fashion.
