    Los Angeles based stylist, Courtenay Brandt, isn't new to the scene. She toured with bands for 12 years. While traveling the world with the rock band Kings of Leon as their personal assistant, Brandt would often pull clothes for them or go shopping for them which allowed her access to designers, photographers and showrooms.

    After touring, she ended up making a transition into styling. Brandt has worked with Kelly Clarkson on her "Mr. Know It All" music video. She now uses her understanding of a musician's psyche & lifestyle to help her style her many rock star clients and make them look their best!

   Brandt recently fell in love with EARTH GLOW from Love + Leather! Check out her post about the rock and roll statement necklace here!
