Hi beautiful,
So glad you are here. Really. Because this is a huge step for me. I have spent a lot of my life doing what I thought others would think was cool instead of listening to what I thought was cool. For the last ten years or so this looked like living in NYC and working in the fashion industry at my dream job as an accessories editor for Elle magazine.
For the better part of my twenties, I spent lots of time at fashion shows and market appointments, flying around the world and wearing lots of diamonds. Sounds awesome, right? It was. Then I turned 30, and something changed in me. No matter how hard I tried to convince myself to stay (my ego really didn’t want me to leave), it wasn't enough and I quit my job, left the city, moved back to Florida and started over. Scary as shit.
I turned my love of style and personal growth work into a passion that inspired women to create lives that feel as good as they look. I helped my clients propel themselves forward towards their dreams instead of worrying about what was in their closets….then in 2019 my entire world fell apart.
My beautiful baby girl, Elizabeth was born and 6 short weeks later passed away due to complications of her birth. To say my life changed, is an understatement. I went through the worst time of my life, filled with depression, hopelessness and grief in a way I could have never imagined. I felt lost and I’d be lying if I said I still don't feel that way sometimes but I’ve come out of that dark place and found a purpose bigger than me...
Helping people see that no matter how horrible and unfair life can be it’s still worth living...even beautifully.
I hope to inspire and motivate, by example. To Show how we can go through the worst of times and find our way back. I want this space to be a place where you come to for inspiration not just when life is going well but when it sucks. I want to show you how to find beauty everywhere, and also that’s it ok even when you can’t.
This is a place where style and spirit coexist in a way it hasn't before. A place to find your flow, create your own happiness...a truly modern definition of living your best life.
Always Polishing Up,
Jodi xx
