From event industry innovators to trailblazing founders, these are the women we look up to, collaborate with, and cheer on as they make waves in their fields. If you’re a fellow entrepreneur, planner, or creative looking for motivation, you’ll love what these women bring to the table.

Julie Roth Novack — CEO & Co-Founder of PartySlate
Julie Roth Novack is the definition of work hard, play hard—and her passion for connecting people shows in everything she does.
As the co-founder and CEO of PartySlate, Julie has built a visually stunning platform that connects people planning events with top-tier vendors and venues. Her mission? To make event planning less overwhelming and more inspiring.
Julie is also on the board of the Lynn Sage Cancer Foundation and Women Tech Founders, and actively mentors female founders in the Chicago area. We were drawn to PartySlate because of Julie’s vision and drive—and we’re proud to be a preferred vendor on the platform.
Sara Blakely — Founder of SPANX
If there’s one woman whose story is legendary, it’s Sara Blakely. The founder of SPANX built her billion-dollar empire from scratch with grit, a red backpack, and a relentless belief in her product.
We’ve followed Sara on social media for years, inspired by her generosity, authenticity, and commitment to helping women feel their best. Whether she’s surprising her team with bonuses or mentoring other women, her energy is contagious.
Her mission—helping women feel great about themselves and their potential—is something we deeply connect with as a women-led gifting business.
Why We Share This
At Lavender + Pine, we believe in surrounding ourselves with people and brands that share our values: integrity, creativity, generosity, and community.
These women—and their businesses—are examples of what’s possible when women lead with purpose. We’re proud to work with, support, and celebrate them every chance we get.
