Do you know what it means to be a Dreamgirl? No? Good because I just made it up. If you said you knew what it meant you’d either be bluffing or psychic & both of those things wig me out. Or maybe you just used basic context clues and got the gist of what it means, but stop guessing and allow me to explain “Dreamgirls™ ” to you.

Being a Dreamgirl™ /Dreamboy™ /Dreamhuman™  (or even Dreamcat™ , looking at you Mimosa) means showing up to life as the best, most unapologetically badass version of yourself, for yourself. It means visualizing your dream life and knowing that it is yours to create, piece by piece. It is being the highest version of yourself while also being gentle with your humanness. Dreamgirls refuse to stay discouraged when they are met with conflict. The short version is that being a Dreamgirl is becoming your own role model. And you can be one as soon as you decide to be.

Questions to start waking up your inner Dreamgirl:

1. What is your Dreamgirl, highest-vibe self doing in the future? What are they doing 15 minutes from now? What are they doing that scares the total crap out of you but secretly deep down you long to do?

2. How do you set yourself up to be a Dreamgirl in your daily life? What does your Dreamgirl self eat, wake up thinking, do in traffic, tell to themselves, etc?

3. How do you manifest your Dreamgirl self into your current reality? (Hint: Its piece by piece)

I am well aware that being a Dreamgirl means something different to each one of us. I’m deeply curious to find out what it means to the inspiring individuals around me and to share all the deets, stories, and advice with you here. Let’s explore how they put this high-vibe shit into practice on a daily basis! Ready for my first interview series?? It is going to be lit.

Hello, friends! I’m happy to be back from a much needed hiatus from posting on my site. To be entirely honest with you, the past year was the most tumultuous period I've yet experienced and I’d been feeling drained of joy. My heart was broken and it allowed self-doubt to seep into everything around me. I was constantly comparing myself to others and feeling like I was coming up short of my own hyper-critical expectations. If you have ever wanted to crumple up an entire year and throw it in the trash then you get my drift. I knew that I desperately needed to take a step back from putting pressure on my creativity and give myself space to heal. In that space, I read some books, allowed myself to feel sad, angry, and everywhere in-between, had countless meaningful conversations with my friends, family and therapist. Most significantly, I attempted as hard as I could to give myself grace. I’d like to share a few thoughts I came out on the other side with with you.

1. Run hand-in-hand with your imperfections. You are the only you out there and that is wildly amazing.

2. Progress is happening, even when you feel like shit. There will be days where you feel great for 15 minutes and then feel like hiding under the bed for 4 hours - this doesn’t mean you aren’t healing and making progress! Your experiences day to day leave you as a different, more self-aware person than you were the day before.

3. Even when you feel completely alone, broken beyond repair, and ready to give in, you are worthy of complete unconditional acceptance.

4. Be gentle with yourself. Where we rob ourselves of acceptance is where we need it the most.

5. Become your own role model. Look to others for inspiration, see what you like about them, and decide to take specific actions in becoming that person for yourself.

Hey babes!! Hope ya'll are out there enjoying what sets your heart racing and keeps you fully engaged in life! For me, this blog is a culmination of many different things that I am in love with. Modeling (lol, I use this term loosely), photography, graphic and web design, personal expression, and aesthetic beauty are all things that keep me awake at night with excitement for future possibilities. I recently had a shoot at Beehive Fort Worth and it was such an amazing experience. The shoot was not only a total blast, it was a wake up call telling me that this is what I want my life to be about: Engaging with different individuals and finding a working harmony towards a similar goal.

What a cool thing it is to understand that each person you meet is an expert in something and that you can learn from them. Each individual has magic in them and you can see it if you take the time. I just watched this amazing Ted Talk (here) on how to have meaningful conversations with individuals. I feel that this talk is so important in giving us tools to break past the barriers we create and helps us find magic in each other. I highly, highly recommend watching it.

I post these thoughts with this outfit because I want to be totally congruent is dressing myself for myself and not the world. I hope by me dressing in my blissfully ridiculous fashion, it inspires you to not give a damn what others think and act and dress in a way that is fulfilling to you.
