About Me

Mary Michele Little has had a passion for clothing and style since she was five years old. Ever since her mother taught her how to sew Michele has known that her future would include a career in fashion.

After graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Apparel Arts from UNC-G Michele went on to become a fashion designer with her own boutique in Raleigh. Michele designed custom apparel and an upscale line of women's ready-to-wear for more than ten years. She has as many years in retail management, dressing women and helping them find a look that's right for them, with a total of 20 years' experience helping women look their best!

Always fascinated by fashion and style, Michele found herself feeling out of touch with her own style shortly after the birth of her daughter. She was feeling frumpy in a way she had not experienced before. Michele realized that that other moms might be feeling the same way after having a baby, so she sought to create a resource that would help inspire moms to look and feel their best and stay in touch with current fashion and make-up trends. In 2006, Michele made her beauty and style expertise easily accessible to all moms through her blog, One Chic Mama. One Chic Mama aims to help women bring out the 'chic mama' inside themselves.

Michele is proud to now offer her image consulting services to women (not just moms!) in the Triangle area. She is passionate about helping women look and feel their best, because inside every woman, there really is One Chic Mama!

Michele writes a monthly column that appears in Carolina Parent, Charlotte Parent, Indy's Child, Cincinnati Parent, Flagler Parent and Central Penn Parent. She is also a freelance writer and a regular contributor to Triangle Style. Michele lives in Raleigh with her husband, David Iversen, and their two children, Ivy and Dylan.
