 + being attentive and passionate to me so I can be an attentive and passionate person, wife, dogmom, and friend. Hiding behind shame, guilt, hate or fear as you probably know and hear (Love you Theresa Roth, Liz Gilbert, Renee Brown, Gabby Bernstein, Rachel Brathen...) gets you NOwhere, like these Magic Masters I believe it's important to KNOWhere these feelings are coming from too. Hoping to inspire others, provide a safe, positive, informative, nonjudgemental and uplighting space to share my story, my precious husband Roberts story, and the stories of some amazingly authentic, beautifully brave, sometimes awkwardly awesome, seeking souls. I'm sooooo anxious..... my heart says go, tears fall... BIRTHDAYS ARE THE BEST! Last year for my birthday I decided to have a photoshoot with some of my favorite women personally and professionally, mainly because when you are a dream chaser you feel bad spending or scheduling too much time for fun and yourself. Thinking this would be a great excuse for us hardworking women to get together, dolled up, and take a break (most photoshoots include a lot of down time for the models) but still accomplish something important to all of us, sharing stories and being who we are. I Believe in Authenticity and have found it hard to portray my realest self across multiple social media platforms, especially not being tech or text savvy. Fully embracing and knowing part of my purpose is to help by sharing these empowering stories, setting our own beauty standards & learning how to love ourselves unconditionally!

Christy Shaterian Photography The most talented photographer I have ever worked with, and one of the greatest friends a girl could ask for Christy Shaterian is making waves in the photography community. As a detail specialist, she goes above and beyond to make her clients at ease and happy. Helping you to find your vision and understand what it's going to take to create it. Coming from California and Las Vegas her portfolio is quite extensive, as well as many new clients here in Nashville. She is a kind and humble teacher, having learned from her Father, it is definitely in her blood and something that she loves. I enjoy her Company, Event, and Composite Photography. Her composites are unlike anything I've ever seen
go check out ChristyShaterianPhotography.com NOW! As one of my greatest friends I couldn't ask for a better woman to help exemplify God's love and Grace. She is an amazing dancer, awesome hip hop rapper, and expert gamer! Overcoming so many obstacles to get where she is today as well as taking steps to improve each day, you will be hearing more and from her soon! Sunny Band This Fabulous Fascinator Creator and Fun Fashion Provider is one of the 1st women I met and found my soul spark with in Nashville. She was starting Sunny Band, a headband line that was different than any headband I had seen and needed models. I had done some modeling, mostly to appease my mother, although I do love fashion, runway shows, and modeling, it was never what I wanted my life or career to be but THIS and SHE looked like fun and welcoming. The most exciting part was that her headbands actually didn't hurt my head and I loved wearing them! Little did we know that 2 years later I would be making jewelry and she would be producing her very own fashion show!
Sunny Band has been featured in many online and print publications, New York Fashion Week, Fashion News, as well as worn by a list of celebrities, musicians, plays, musicals, tv personalities, gay men (she'll even make you a hat!), and of course thousands of ONEOFAKIND precious princesses (I like to think of my SUNNYband as my crown) who AREN'T AFRAID to let their true colors show and to stand out. We ended up doing 4 Sunny Band fashion shows together (hope to see you at the 5th) which helped our business relationship tremendously, I learned about her past as a performer, (we sang and danced while we worked) her love for her friends and making them feel special (she made her 1st Sunny Bands for a girls trip where they ended up getting stopped multiple times for inquiries about their hair accessories) and her love for fashion. As we got to know each other more personally I learned how much she had struggled, when Sunny Band was started, how she loved herself but wasn't in love with herself like I thought she was and should be. What inspired me was how she battled her fear, as many of us do, but continued to stay true, pushing herself, she is always trying something new. Now we continue to grow together daily in business and fun connecting and creating with our other Soul Sisters! There are going to be many many many more stories and interviews about this one coming up so stay tuned!

Not only was she the 1st one to provide a place for the Nashville Fashion Community she provided informations that artists and young women were looking for with an open and inviting spirit.
I don't believe many people have worked more jobs in the Nashville fashion culture than Alicia or been to as many events you'll hear more in a Vlog later! She loves people, sees herself as a connector, loves helping and encouraging others. As the number of fashion events and organizations grow I see her pulling back to focus more on her hearts desires and focus on her work. Make sure you try to keep up and contact her at @NASHFASHEVENTS alicia@nashvillefashionevents.com BOMBSHELL This Little Delight has faced more body shaming and adversity than most.

She is an excellent model and loves collaborating with the "RIGHT" people. She's been featured in Maxim's Hometown Hotties and is on the cover of the 2016 Calendar. Being an excellent singer, dancer, and care giver there is nothing she loves more than family, friends, and fun!
Pura Vida Vintage There aren't many people who know vintage fashion or do it quite like Krystle Ramos. Her shop is exactly what a vintage store is supposed to be. The material is quality--truly one of a kind--and the prices are fair. She has an eye for timeless fashion, great fabric, and an EXTENSIVE collection that you wouldn't believe. She also has a wide array of affordable jewelry, shoes and accessories. This is a store for anybody who understands the value of fabulous vintage and wants to wear their personality on their sleeve.
Working a full time job, being an absolutely amazing and very hands on mom, as well as an impressive shopper & singer, Fashion Show and Runway Planner, Participate, Organizer, and Stylist + helping other stylists and designers in the community she is persisted, passionate, and purposeful with every action and piece. Losing many irreplaceable items and her famous store in a fire, September 2014 she could have moved on but remained steadfast and of course true to her hearts desires! Go get more information at http://www.puravidavintage.com & Follow on INSTAGRAM ! FB & Twitter GLAMAZON Some people fight and work so hard that they know without a doubt they are worth it. Hannah has inspired me more as a model and person than she even realizes, she embraces herself fully and forgives quickly. Competing in one of the toughest industries in the world while maintaining curves, always taking affirmative action and standing up for herself. She's willing to do whatever it takes to stay true to what it is in her heart of hearts that she wants to do and won't take any less.
Hopefully you'll be seeing more of her soon! Follow her INSTA @hannahsbananas20 |
