There is nothing more inspiring than seeing people work hard to achieve their dreams. There are so many people in my life who inspire me through their determination towards reaching their goals. It takes real persistence to see things through, even during the times when it seems like there is no end in sight. I have been thinking a lot about “dreams” lately. My generation is filled with entrepreneurial spirits. We see an opportunity to create the life we want. It takes hard work and long hours, that most people don’t see, but the reward is so worth it.
One person who always inspires me is Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam. Last week Julia launched her Gal Meets Glam Collection of beautiful dresses. I’ve always admired Julia’s ability to keep getting better and to keep pushing towards what’s next. I love to see people who have succeeded in making their dreams a reality.
The Gal Meets Glam Collection is beautiful. Classic and feminine, which is right up my alley. I knew I had to have this dress the first time I saw the sneak peek of the floral pattern. Over the weekend I went to Nordstrom to see the collection in person and was happy to bring this beauty home with me.
Last week was Brian and my four-year wedding anniversary. We didn’t make any big plans, but wanted to have a nice evening just the two of us. This dress made me feel glamorous from the moment I slipped it on, so I knew it was the perfect dress for our anniversary dinner. It’s a beautiful cut, and the material feels so luxurious.
What I love most about the Gal Meets Glam Collection, is that it is perfectly Julia. It’s a reflection of her and the brand she has created. As I said, it’s impossible not to be inspired when you see someone going after their dreams. We all have something that we’re working towards. It just takes a vision and the determination to see it through. xo Bryn

I’m obsessed with this shoot Bryn! You’re so right that it is a perfect reflection of Julia – which is the best part of the line! I haven’t hit order quite yet on a dress by the blue & white striped one keeps calling my name!

The Gal meets Glam collection is so beautiful. I love all of the different dress styles, and I think she did a really good job. I love that dress too, the floral print is so cute.

This was the dress I’ve had my eye on too! I adore this colour but sadly, I don’t live near a Nordstrom to pick it up in store. I might have to grab the gorgeous warm coloured one from her site! Did you find that it fits true to size?! With a new brand I’m always slightly nervous of the fit (especially when I have to ship it back because Canada never has good return policies!).

I actually went up a size. My normal size did fit but I found the size up to be more comfortable, especially in this size! I think in a less fitted style I would stay TTS! Xo Bryn
