Paint the Town

Red isn’t just a color, it’s a state of mind. Caitlin and Danielle received an invite to a dinner at The W hotel on Lake Shore Drive from a very special woman, Jen Worman, of Red Soles and Red Wine. Jen is a fashionista and one of the most creative dolls we know with a one-of-a-kind…

Here’s an Idea

When you’re keeping up with the glam 24/7, it’s easy to find yourself stuck in a busy routine. We all know that every Doll has to hustle (because hard work pays off in the end, of course) but we can’t let ourselves forget about self-care in between the countless meetings and social events. Luckily, getting…

Farm to Vanity

Chicago is holding on to an Indian Summer that Caitlin and Danielle will gladly accept. As the seasons gradually progress from brilliant sunshine to amber foliage, the Dolls call for a transformative wardrobe and an updated skincare routine.  Long hours of sun and fun can damage our skin as it becomes dry and chapped from chlorine…

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…

About

Once upon a time... there were two best friends that lived in a Dollhouse. That's where the story began. While the pages of this digital storybook keep turning, one thing remains the same. Caitlin and Dani are by each other's side through the ups, downs and all the realness in between.
