Welcome to Circle of Friends.

Exploring fashion, home, and the art of gathering through a circular lens, a newsletter on living beautifully and sustainably written by event designer and vintage enthusiast Hilliary Bianca Salamanca.

Hi I’m Hilliary, a sustainability consultant, vintage lover, and two-dog mom. I have a Master’s in Sustainability Management from Columbia University which I pursued after 10+ years of working in brand marketing for fashion and consumer brands. I started writing Circle of Friends (fka Something Borrowed, Never New for those who have been here a long time!) to share what I learn studying and working in sustainability and to create a community where it is celebrated to wear *new to you*

I love helping others find pre-loved pieces they will cherish, if you are ever looking for something secondhand, please reach out!

Thanks for reading xx
