I grew up on the beaches of sunny Southern California, where salt-streaked hair, sandy feet, and sun-faded t-shirts were part of everyday life. My dad is a lifelong surfer, and his love for the ocean naturally became part of my world. My mom spent her young adulthood immersed in the fashion world, working for brands like Chanel through the early 2000s, which deeply influenced my eye for style. My sister sparked my love for art with her creativity and talent. Together, the Darling family shaped the foundation of what would become MyDarlingToo.
After facing health struggles in my early twenties, I felt a strong pull to reconnect with the things that made me feel most like myself: the beach, creativity, and self-expression. That’s when MyDarlingToo began—blending art, fashion, and a lifelong love for coastal living into something I could share with others.
