Nothing fires me up more than working with a client to elevate her brand so she can create the life she's always dreamed of. I run on coffee and puppy kisses and believe that one person can give life to creating change.
I live for making the world a prettier place with heartfelt conversations and random acts of kindness...and, of course, a curated Instagram feed!
You may recognize me from Instagram, or you may have seen my new TV series, the Lifestyle & Fashion Guide with The Caroline Doll, on Virginia This Morning. As a brand influencer, I strategically partner with fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands that I am truly passionate about.
I believe that every day is a celebration and I live by my business slogan, Champagne Is Always The Answer®! Let's be honest, this doll loves to party pretty! #dollspartypretty
