Hi, I’m Rylie Duncan!

A lot has changed since I first wrote this.

​

I’m still a California girl at heart, but Oklahoma became one of the most important chapters of my life. I moved across the country, became an Oklahoma State Cowboy, built friendships I’ll carry forever, grew Hide and Stoned in ways I never imagined, and somewhere along the way, completely lost—and eventually found—myself.

​

College challenged me more than I ever expected. Between school, work, building a business, internships, relationships, and trying to figure out what I was supposed to do with my life, I experienced burnout in every sense of the word.

There was a point where I genuinely did not know who I was, what I was doing, or where my life was headed.

​

And then came August 2024.

​

Matthew 17:20

​

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

​

That season changed my life forever.

​

It was when I truly began finding my life in Christ, but it was also when I started finding Rylie again.

​

Through Him, I found strength in seasons that felt impossible, grace for the parts of myself I was still figuring out, and the courage to stop trying to become who I thought I was supposed to be.

​

For the first time, I began to understand that my identity wasn’t supposed to come from a degree, a job, a relationship, a business, a city, or anyone else’s expectations for my life.

​

Today, that lesson means even more.

​

I’ve officially graduated from Oklahoma State University, packed up another chapter of my life, and somehow found myself back in California—this time building a life in Los Angeles. What started as an internship turned into a full-time career in the fashion industry, and through every unexpected turn, I’ve continued to feel God reminding me that His plans are so much bigger than the ones I could have created for myself.

​

And through all of it, Hide and Stoned has remained one of the biggest pieces of me.

​

What started when I was just a girl making jewelry has grown right alongside me.

​

And now, more than ever, I feel called to bring Hide and Stoned to everyone.

​

This brand isn’t about simply putting on another accessory.

​

Hide and Stoned is about wearing something that feels like you.

​

It’s about individuality, confidence, creativity, imperfection, evolution, and becoming the person you were always meant to be—without losing the weird, wild, beautiful pieces of yourself along the way.

​

Every piece I create is meant to help you express yourself a little louder, feel a little more confident, and make whatever you’re wearing completely your own.

​

Because if there is one thing the last few years have taught me, it’s that becoming yourself isn’t a one-time destination.

​

I’m still growing.

I’m still figuring things out.

I’m still dreaming bigger than I probably should.

I’m still building Hide and Stoned.

And most importantly, I’m still following the Man Upstairs one day at a time.

​

This is Hide and Stoned’s next chapter.

​

And I have a feeling we’re only getting started.
