About the Proprietor

After separating from the Air Force as an Arabic Linguist, Larissa Najera-Lavering decided to put her life-long dream into action and follow her first love...fashion. She is the mother of two beautiful and crazy children and lives in paradise on the Monterey Peninsula in California. 

The central coast woman likes to be casual and comfortable, yet still stylish most days. When an occasion calls for dressier attire, she turns to a pair of trendy jeans and dressy top, or even a dress. Welcome to bellarissa.
