When I opened The Funky Hippy Chic Boutique, I knew it was taking a chance, but I had to be true to my mission. From a very young age, I have always expressed myself with clothing and I knew how empowering it was to me to feel that I looked good and even turned heads simply because I was put together in a very unique one-of-a-kind way. It was never about showing off my body, it was about showing my personality! We are all individuals and have an opportunity to create our very own look!

I hoped that these people who dare to look different than others, discover and own their style. In doing that they would feel confident, joyful, powerful and of course beautiful! For me, clothing and accessories have always been my expression of how I was feeling, truly mood changing. Texture, color, shapes, all this can change the way you feel, the way you carry yourself.

I get pictures from my Funky Hippy Chicks, showing me how they created their look, it brings me so much joy!
