Shine Like a Starlet

June 12, 2018

Through the Dolls’ eyes, no day is a total waste of makeup. That’s because there is something good in every day. There’s a rainbow after the storm, a triumph after the struggle, and a best friend who’s by your side through it all. Caitlin and Danielle believe we were put on this earth to lift each other up, to inspire one another, to share our sparkle with the world.

We recently teamed up with Chicago photographer, Diallo Wilson, to channel some of our favorite Hollywood Starlets. These women have inspired us to get glam and live our best life!

Cait Doll channeled Marilyn Monroe while Dani Doll portrayed Sophia Loren. While conceptualizing  this shoot,  we dreamt of over-the-top glam.  So,  we headed to the Frock Shop to pull the ultimate glitzy gowns. We love the selection of their stunning dresses, where you can rent your way to fabulous.

A girl knows her limits but a wise girl knows she has none.” – Marilyn Monroe

I’ve never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don’t understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.” – Sophia Loren

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”  – Marilyn Monroe

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.” – Sophia Loren

Chicago is a magical city, we visited some iconic spots to capture the aesthetic of two glamorous Dolls in an urban jungle. Around every corner is a smiling face, and a new opportunity to enjoy this life.

It’s our relationships with friends and family that make this life so glamorous. Keep your Dolls close, go on adventures, make memories and tell them why you love them often!

All photos of Caitlin and Danielle were shot by the talented Diallo Wilson. Follow him on Instagram @sonnydwilson!

    Oh my goodness, those dresses are gorgeous! I love the fishtail style one! I actually have a super sequin-y dress similar to these ones but I’ve never taken the tags off or even worn it yet! This is a really good inspirational idea for a photoshoot that I could wear it at! Thank you!

    A girl knows her limit, but a wise girl knows she has none. One of my favorite quotes from Marilyn. I love your fancy dresses:)
