Our Story
A Little Comfort. A Lot of Love.
ILPJs began with a simple idea, inspired by years of family, houseguests, and a desire to feel comfortable and confident in my own home.
When my husband and I moved from Connecticut to Florida with our three young children, we were fortunate to have a steady stream of visitors from up north. My in-laws would often spend several months with us during the winter, and my mom was a frequent visitor, too.
I loved having a house full of family. But I found myself wishing for something I couldn't quite find: pajamas that were soft and comfortable enough to sleep in, yet flattering and supportive enough to wear around the house without feeling the need to change.
I wanted to be able to enjoy my morning coffee with family, walk the kids to the bus stop, or make a quick trip to the grocery store, all without sacrificing comfort or confidence.
And that's where the idea for ILPJs was born.
Sleepwear, Reimagined.
I created ILPJs around the belief that women shouldn't have to choose between comfort and confidence.
My vision was to combine the softness of beautiful pajamas with gentle, built-in support and timeless styling that feels just as appropriate outside the bedroom as it does inside.
I call it "Sleep-Leisure" sleepwear designed to move effortlessly through the moments of everyday life.
Sleep in. Step out. Run errands.
Inspired by Family
Family is at the heart of ILPJs.
The “IL” is a nod to my in-laws, while the “J” and “S” honor two very special women, my mother, Joan, and my mother-in-law, Susan.
Both were an important part of our lives and the memories that inspired this brand. Although I've since lost them both, their love, strength, and timeless sense of style continue to influence what I'm creating.
Susan passed away after living with Alzheimer's disease, a loss that inspired another important part of the ILPJs mission.
As the brand grows, I'm committed to donating a portion of proceeds to support Alzheimer's research, in her honor.
Made for Real Life. Inspired by Love.
ILPJs is more than a pajama brand to me. It's a celebration of family, comfort, confidence, and the little everyday moments that become our most cherished memories.
My hope is that every woman who wears ILPJs feels comfortable, beautiful, and completely herself.
With love,
