🍁FALLing in 💋LOVE💋with PARIS at Paris Fashion Week🇫🇷 

…so it’s my first time in Paris!❤️

I’ve been working here as a fashion influencer & model for almost a month now, & every day is a brand new experience in the same old city. There’s a certain ✨magic✨in the air.

For those of you who know me personally, you’ll know what a wildly passionate lifelong DREAM of mine it has been to make it to Paris!!! My entire house has been decorated with Eiffel towers & Parisian-everything for years, & photos of influencers in Paris have flooded my vision board for even more years!

Well, thanks to Paris Fashion Week for finally getting me here, & thank you to the past LaRaes for not giving up on our dream.

Here’s to the dreamers, may you always believe in yourself, even if you’re the only one who does. All it takes is one person believing in you to do great things, and it is imperative that this one person is you.

📸An extra-special shoutout to those who made my wildest Paris-photoshoot dreams come true…

My photoshoots with @chrisstoreyphotography in Paris and Versailles were some of my favorite shoots of my entire modeling career!!! He delivered on both quality and quantity - every image was edited to perfection, he offers professional retouching services, & the gallery size was massive with so many beautiful photos! He knew all the best spots to shoot in both locations, & he was absolutely DELIGHTFUL to work with! So kind, polite, & just an all-around wonderful human being. I would recommend Chris as a photographer my closest friends or family! Book Chris @chrisstoreyphotography or via the link in my bio to capture your memories of Paris & Versailles forever.

@jhocruzat made me feel like a bride on my wedding day! Jho’s hair & makeup job for my Paris and Versailles photoshoot left me gasping in the mirror, a reaction I wish for any bride on her big day! She gave attention to every detail possible, taking extra care to do an amazing job. She was sweet as pie & such an angel to work with. Book Jho @jhocruzat now as an HMUA for your next event or photoshoot.

Cheers to dreams coming true!🥂

xoxo,💋

LaRae❤️

Head in the clouds 🏙️ Heart in the city 

☁️ Whether or not my head’s in the clouds… 

…I’ve got my sights set higher than the New York City skyline. ✨🌃

Where have you got your sights set in 2026? I’d LOVE to hear about YOUR dreams in the comments! 💗 

…

I met @emilyfarthingart in the trenches of the press pit at my first Paris fashion week. If you know, you KNOW the amount of pressure, shouting, and shoving that can ensue as fashion week photographers competitively clamor to get the perfect runway shot. This can be an especially intimidating spot for a content creator like myself, with a travel-size gimbal barely staying afloat in a sea of cameras. 📸✨

Emily was a smile in a crowded pit that day, and beyond a friendly face, I’ve learned that Emily is more than a photographer. She is a beacon of light in any dark corner, and she creates light in her photography by kindling the light within the women she photographs. It was such an honor to finally BE one of these LUCKY women last time I was in the city! 💞 

Pop by @emilyfarthingart to start transforming your own dreamy visions into timeless photographs. ✨🖼️

Ruffles on Rodeo 🌹 @rodeodrive 

Oh well hello, I couldn’t see ya there! My vision was temporarily obscured as I drowned in this red loofah top.♥️

…Kindof like I’m drowning in work, travel, home, family, the holidays themselves, extra seasonal work during the holidays, and hopefully big things coming soon.🤞

This time of year, at least for me, responsibilities pile up higher than the feast on my Thanksgiving dinner-plate.🍽️ And while I’m so grateful for everything on both of these plates, it can become a lot to swallow. 

…So I wanted to check in with you - how are you this season?👇Really.

Приветик )))🫖

Tea @russiantearoom is always a magical time ☕️ This Manhattan jewel can elevate any occasion to a treasured experience, although my personal favorite is a pre-theater afternoon tea.

Друзья!🫶 Очень скучаю по моим русским и украинским друзьям! Шлю вам огромный привет! Прошло уже много лет с моей церковной миссии в Санкт-Петербурге и Калининграде, и с тех пор, как я вернулась, вы, мои дорогие друзья, всегда в моём сердце. Когда я гуляю в Нью-Йорке по Литтл-Одессе, так сильно по вам скучаю. Недавно была в Russian Tea Room и снова вспоминала вас. Часто думаю о вас и молюсь за вас. Надеюсь, что однажды мы снова встретимся! Люблю и крепко обнимаю вас всех!❤️

What do we think of this elegant afternoon-tea look?👠

Beverly Hills Class meets Salt Lake City Sass 👠💋💄 

The moral of the story behind these shots is this - always be prepared for a photoshoot!😅 Photographer @ali_photographer77 & I met and spontaneously started shooting in Beverly Hills while I was perusing Rodeo Drive, and FORTUNATELY, I was dressed for LA Fashion Week. (…although I basically did my hair & makeup on the plane, and changed into this fabulous fit just before the cab ride from the airport.) LA Fashion Week in fall always gets me thinking…

Are you team fall in Salt Lake, or fall in Los Angeles? I’m all for cute ‘n cozy fall fashion in SLC, but I’m also partial to the warmer autumn temperatures in LA! …Then again, autumn mountainside drives in Utah are simply unmatched.🍁🏔️🍂

Wherever you’re spending this fall, drop your favorite fall wardrobe staples in the comments… 👢☕️🧣

The Life of a Showgirl 👑 

Grateful for the people behind my pageant journey.🥹

@empire.beauty.studios has gone above and beyond in every detail since day one. Anyone with the pleasure of working with @beautyby.katina knows that beyond a business owner and makeup artist, Katina is a dedicated coach and loyal friend to her clients. Katina never fails to bring the glamorous visions I have to life, flawlessly orchestrating execution with her team, and there’s no backstage emergency she can’t handle. From the salon to the stage, Empire has supported every phase of beauty & glam in my pageant timeline, and Katina has meticulously curated a full-scale tailored service to give me an experience and results that speak for themselves.

@carlitos720 My interview skills have never been sharper since working with Carlos. In preparing for the interview room, Carlos lead me to find a voice I didn’t know was a part of me. I’ve learned to share my story in a way I never thought I would have the courage to do, and I’ve learned to use this voice to better advocate for children in crisis, child abuse prevention, and the causes I’m passionate about. My platform “Voice for the Voiceless” began with me finding a voice for myself.

My pageant walk before and after working with @putrapassarela is a night & day difference! Putra pushed me to take my runway training more seriously than ever, and his perfectionism empowered me to improve in leaps and bounds. I especially appreciated that Putra took my personality into account with my choreography, allowing me to be the most authentic version of myself onstage, with unapologetic flair.

@hembadooski Gloria, thank you for taking a chance on me! Your belief in me at a young age has shaped the trajectory of my life more than you know. From convincing a broke college kid to compete in her first pageant to launching her into her first NYFW so many years ago. Thank you @missnationsoftheworld 

@noeliavoigt thank you for being a light in the darkness! On a global scale, but also in the individual lives of so many. I’ll never forget our FaceTime the night before Miss Utah this year.🫶

My #1 favorite headshot from the @missutusa Class of 2025 is this stunning headshot of @larae.day ✨

📷: @georginavaughanphotography 

There’s nothing I *don’t* love about this photo! Firstly, I love the big beautiful curls framing her whole face! The expression has a soft fierceness and those green eyes are piercing! I really like the top with the little pearls, it gives the perfect mix of glamour and ‘pageant’ but still soft and delicate. 

I will be sharing my overall favorite headshot for every pageant (after the pageant) this year! 

📌 PLEASE KNOW: My fav headshots are based on a variety of factors including but not limited to: Quality, pose, facial expression, styling, background & how it represents each contestant. Each contestant is beautiful & worthy. by @larae.day
