PORTOLA 2026 - decided i’m making posting fun again 🪩✨ despacio tent with a side of @sophiasinot inspired smoky eye ✨ did i build a tiny computer to wear as a hair clip? yes. does it change gifs? yes. did we drop it low at fat boy slim? also yes. 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️🪩✨ strolling arm in arm with the girls to the next dance floor, HEAVEN ✨ screaming along to robyn with your crew is a spiritual experience. 10/10 highly recommend. day 2 fit check for good measure 💯 going to be serious for one slide: @zaralarsson was the whole reason i came to portola, and this was the weekend the cornell 7 news broke. you couldn’t open your phone or an app without a flood of heavy information. it reminded me that beyond the popstar persona and flawless stage presence, zara is everything a celebrity should be: outspoken about human rights and women’s rights, and in touch with the essence of the human spirit. her seriousness about her views is amplified by the levity and play of the person she becomes on stage. during the song “hot and sexy,” she overlays these lyrics across her body in bright, bold yellow text. even though the song is literally called hot and sexy, there’s a deeper message. she wants the world to see her for who she is, and she wants that for you too. silliness has been lost in american culture, and everyone is too afraid to “be seen” playing. she’s a beautiful reminder that you can do both: hold strong in your beliefs without letting the weight of the current climate crush you. keep being you, zara. i can’t wait to see you in a stadium next!!! and if you need more sparkles on your next tour, you should check out my brand @sparklesquad.la. shameless plug bc girlie is chronically online :) i have more thoughts and reflections on her performance and star status. but this is insta -> keep scrolling!! :) no phones. just vibes. the crew on film. discovered ben UFO on day 2 then immediately bought tickets to his LA show 2 weeks later. dance so hard. vibes were so high. mentally still under these lights to end the weekend at fourtet. i had no gas in the tank at this point. (to the people dancing with us, sorry to that man, i had no chat left 🫠) all in all, so much

Pastel de nata in my blood. Smile on my face. These people in my heart 🫶🏼 This profound Portugal trip is one I will cherish forever. I checked into room Cloud Nine, and these people made me feel on cloud nine! ☁️🇵🇹 Connected deeply, laughed, cried, cried laughing, surfed, danced (proof on flip-flops at the end), sang some classics, had really good coffees with even better conversations, photographed a lot, sailed, swallowed even more sea water, discussed life, learned, hiked, visited beautiful places, caught sunrise, watched sunset, had many good meals, practiced my Portuguese accent, drove for hours along the coast. 🌊☀️ Felt alive! Thank you all for being part of this amazing journey through Portugal, through all these new experiences and within myself. 🙏🏼

From the kitchen to the spotlight. Seeing @ChefRosecleerMarie represent The Modern Culinarian [ @TheModCul ] on FOX 5 DC was a full circle moment. Speaking on the importance of showing up with intention, confidence, and style in every space you enter. Moments like these are exactly why the brand was created. Not just to design chef coats, but to shift how women in the culinary industry are seen and how they see themselves. If you’re in DC, come see us in person at the @blackwomeninfood summit this Saturday. We’ll be there as a vendor and would love to connect with you. Be as bold as the dishes you create. #Fox5dc #GoodDayDC #Fox5Morning #Fox5LION
