Breathing dreams into reality usually requires courage, perseverance, self-love, a whole lot of work, and patience. Getting to see my soul sister, Alli, journey from articulating a dream to launching an independent business doing just that has been truly remarkable.

La Vidacita is a collective of artisans and entrepreneurs co-creating meaningful accessories and a new reality for women and children in rural Guatemala. Alli designs thoughtfully to celebrate women and to celebrate life.

I'm so grateful for the fun we had collaborating on this shoot for her lookbook. I've seen firsthand how stunning these clutches are, and if you'd like to join in on the party, check them out here!
