We met up with Mary Holland recently while we were in LA for a quick shoot and catch up. Mary is one of the most gifted, chill and naturally beautiful ladies around. You can catch her talents shine in two films “Happiest Season” and “Self Reliance” streaming now on Hulu. And coming soon “Doin’ It” premiering at SXSW in March. Mary popped over with a few favorite vintage t-shirts which she tells us about below…and shares her beauty bare essentials. So scroll on down and get to know Mary our latest muse betta!

I found The Thing t shirt in a vintage store in Atlanta. I loved the color and font, how it felt like a horror movie title card but was actually a promotional event from Circuit City (rip!). It’s one of my favorite shirts I own.
Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorite bands of all time. My dad loves them and used to play their songs around me all the time when I was growing up. Found this t shirt on Etsy, an original 90’s Beyond the Mask Tour concert tee.
I found the Lookout Mountain, Tennessee shirt at a coffee shop in Atlanta. They had a random rack of vintage tees and, having lived in Tennessee for a while, I was immediately drawn to it. Love the rainbow letters. The shirt is so thin I think it’s going to disintegrate on me at any moment, but I’ll keep wearing it anyway!

Mary’s bare beauty essentials:

- Summer Friday Cloud Dew moisturizer. It’s so light and as a woman prone to breakouts, I love that it’s acne free.

- Burt’s Bees tinted chapstick. My lips always need a smooch of color and this product is so easy and casual and not as heavy duty as a full on lipstick. 

- Clé de Peau concealer stick. I use it every day! One tube has lasted me months and months, a little goes a long way.

- Biba de Sousa Plant Stem Cell serum. I apply it multiple times a day. Blends effortlessly into skin and I feel like it gives my face and neck a real boost.

- Le Labo Thé Noir. I’ve been wearing this scent for a long time, ever since my best friend got it for me as a birthday present years ago. I can’t even smell it anymore, I’m so used to the fragrance, but I always get compliments on it.
