NJ native, Melissa Burwell keeps busy in almost anything creative. In 2009, Melissa launched her first fashion website then moved onto what became Neon Diamonds, the blog. As well as the blog, vintage shop Neon Diamonds launched. Introduced to thrifting in her early 20’s, Melissa realized she could style on a budget. Thrifting then became a secret passion of hers. Because she found gems in other sizes, she decided to use her talents and give women access to the same one of a kind pieces. Initially, she started on Ebay and then moved onto Depop, which helped launch the shop tremendously. Currently residing in Brooklyn NY, Melissa has been participating in pop up shops/markets so she can build one on one relationships. Building onto a community.
Melissa is also co-creator of @LadiesLovePopUps, an event which highlights women supporting each other, featuring female vendors from NJ, NY, and PA.
Neon Diamonds is about shining your inner light.
