Style Profile: Brianne Conley of Number Fourteen Boutique
We here at Maniac love two things above all else: fashion and interiors. No. 14 Boutique in Lawrenceville takes the best of both worlds and mixes them in a way that is cutting-edge and beautiful. The dynamic duo that owns and operates the store is Brianne and Michele Conley, a mother-daughter team who fused their passions of wardrobe and décor to bring us a space that is beyond chic. Alongside the beautiful clothing made of fabulous fabrics and detailed designs you’ll find ladylike Lucite chairs, repurposed furniture, and feminine home accessories.
“ [Opening a boutique] has honestly been something I’ve always dreamed of. That’s cliché, but it’s true,” Brianne says. “My mom has a talent for interiors; people constantly compliment the way she decorated our home. We hoped putting our brains together would create something Pittsburgh would love.”
Brianne’s dream of opening her own shop came true this past October, and we’re happy to say that Brianne can rest easy in knowing that her the shop she shares with her mother will be loved and appreciated for many years to come.
Between her effortlessly chic style and sweet, sincere spirit, Brianne is a savvy businesswoman we wanted to get to know. We first fell in love with No. 14’s beautifully elegant atmosphere and then with the young woman behind the business.
Maniac Magazine: What do you like most about the fashion industry?
Brianne Conley: What you put on in the morning sets the mood for your entire day. If you look amazing, you’ll perform perform amazingly. I love that fashion has that effect on people.
MM: How did you come up with the name No. 14?
BC: Fourteen has been a number that has continued to show up in my life. It’s the year I graduated from college, the year
the business opened, I am 1 of 4 children, it is my boyfriend’s high school & college football jersey number, and he and I started dating when I was 14. 2014 was a very eventful year for me. Naming the store was a hard decision for me to make; I wanted it to have a soul.
MM: How would you describe your personal style? 
BC: Feminine and flirty, maybe a little quirky. I am still swooning over Louis Vuitton’s spring/summer 2012 carousel runway show. I’d like to have every one of those pieces in my closet.
MM: Who is your style icon?
BC: Olivia Palermo & Victoria Beckham, hands down.
MM: Who is your favorite designer and why?
BC: Valentino has always had a soft spot in my heart. When I splurge on a purchase it’s usually for bags or shoes and I gravitate toward Valentino for both.
MM: What is one piece in your closet you could not live without?
BC: A grey V-neck tee. A pair of great jeans, a basic tee, and pointed toe pumps will never go out of style.
