I’ve spent a lot of time this past year talking about identity – about how finding yourself can sometimes be a rough process and how there can be a lot of road bumps throughout the way.
Which is why when Lively reached out to me about becoming a brand ambassador for them, I was truly, genuinely stoked to become affiliated with them.
I read this brand statement and I was pretty much hooked :
Inspired by women with wild hearts and boss brains. Just let that resonate for a sec.
Needless to say, I flipped and wouldn’t stop harassing their marketing director. When my items finally showed up, they were delivered with a hand written note – which just goes to show how much the women behind this brand believe in it. For women, by women. That’s something I can get behind.
That being said – I LOVE what this brand stands for. Yes, lingerie is scary. No, I don’t like to hang out half naked on a regular basis. Yes, posing in my bra on a super random hot day in April is not ideal. But I GET this brand. I AM this brand. And when something comes along that just speaks to you, you just gotta do what you gotta do, even if that means posting photos of yourself in a bra on social media. To be honest, if they were based in LA – I would probably be begging them to let me work for free.

There was something so empowering about taking these photos (shot by my secretly super talented sister). Almost like you take ownership of yourself and are just like, “I understand why, as a woman, I am doing this.” It’s my body. I’m young and I’m only going to look like this for a certain amount of time. Might as well flaunt what you’ve got while you can, while at the same time, telling people I am a woman with a wild heart and a career and a path and it’s all so much bigger than me, you know?
That all being said, please do me (and yourself, and these girls cause they’re awesome) a massive favor and check out their site – I’m serious, you won’t regret it.
