Beauty in the Buff

Beauty in the Buff

Caitlin and Danielle are thrilled for the summer months ahead in Chicago. Although most places experience summer, it’s very hard to capture the essence of a warm sunset stroll along Lake Michigan, or an exhilarating jog on the 606 if you haven’t had the pleasure of enjoying it for yourself.  Longer and warmer days mean bathing suits, shorts, dresses and most importantly – CONFIDENCE. Caitlin and Danielle have partnered…

Metaphysical Detox

April 7, 2017

Metaphysical Detox

Spring has sprung and longer, warmer days are brightening up our routines. For most Chicagoans, the essence of Spring comes to life when we finally put away our heavy coats and boots in exchange for cardigans and sandals.  Caitlin and Danielle spent time this Winter reflecting on grace, gratitude and our personal evolution. For the Dolls, Spring has a very symbolic meaning… It is a time for the rebirth of mind, body and soul. Outside the flowers…

Alone in the Forest

Alone in the Forest

As the gates opened into an enchanted woodland abyss, our jaws dropped and we instantly knew adventure awaited.  During the day fairies frolic about, illuminated trees glow with varying colors, acrobatics perform all around, you may even see a live marching band….  At night the forest is cleared of all festival goers. Except for three…
