The Return
In France, la rentrée is the return: the end of the long summer exhale, when the whole country comes back to the city with fresh energy — new notebooks, new intentions, a beautiful restlessness to begin again. It isn't January's grim resolutions. It's warmer, and time-honored: a season of rebirth built right into the calendar, when starting anew feels not like pressure, but like coming home.
Ma rentrée personalizes it — it takes that French season of homecoming and turns it inward: not just returning to the city refreshed, but returning to yourself. Coming home to the woman you actually are, and the life you actually wanted, as the leaves turn.
Ma rentrée is below — and now I'm inviting you to take yours.
This autumn, take your rentrée. Slip into my virtual château with me for an afternoon — tea, a journal, and a beautiful next season to design.
What happens when God takes the dream you'd forgotten and explodes it into something you'd never have known to ask for.
After college — recommendation letters from my French professors ready — I went to Paris to look into enrolling at the Sorbonne. I stayed with a wonderful French Catholic family, found my church and my friend group, and fell completely in love with my own little life there. I'd assimilated. I was welcomed. I belonged.
And then I was pulled home — by obligation, by everyone's certainty about what I was supposed to be doing. I didn't want to go. But I didn't yet have the courage to plant my feet and stay.
I'll never forget how heartbroken I felt on that plane home from Paris — knowing I was betraying my own deepest dream, and not knowing if I'd ever see my beloved second-home country again.
I came home and built the life in front of me — the one I was supposed to want. And then it came apart anyway.
For the first time in my life, I said never again.
Now, everything I've built since, I've built my way — the truest thing God ever asked of me: to actually trust the desires He put in my heart.
And here's what still brings me to my knees with gratitude: I never once would have thought to ask for all of this.
An ocean-view home in Newport Beach. An elegant office apartment in Georgetown, across the street from a historic mansion and gardens. Part of the year in France, with the love of my life.
My French was already fluent on that plane ride home — what I wasn't fluent in yet was courage, audacity, and the willingness to go all in on what my heart knew was true.
Now I fly back and forth from California and DC to France all the time: walking Paris Fashion Week every season, spending time, deeply in love, with the Frenchman who found me, a second home in the country I once wept to leave.
God didn't just give me back the dream I'd forgotten. He exploded it into magnificence — into a tricoastal life of sovereignty and satisfaction I never would have known to dream up. A slow, savored, deeply beautiful life, better than the fantasy I'd given up on.
If you're standing at your own fork right now, this afternoon is made for you. Come give yourself permission — you don't need to tear it all down, just let a little unexpected magnificence into your now, with a Bombshell Blueprint for a beautiful redesign.
On purpose
This is the life I designed.
- The modeling dream I laid down at nineteen to care for my mother, risen on the Paris Fashion Week runway at thirty-seven — I debuted, and came back to close a show, as covered in Elle
- A body I'm proud of in a bikini at almost thirty-nine, after two children
- Two children who are healthy, and happy and deeply close with me
- A brand and a business I rebuilt from nothing
- A life between Newport Beach, Georgetown, and France — for modeling and for love
- And the love of my life, the Frenchman who found me in Paris
None of it was luck. All of it was designed.
Sometimes from a blank slate,
sometimes from the constraints I created around.
This autumn, I'll show you how to design yours,
no matter what you're working with.
From the window of the suite
What it is
An afternoon at my virtual château.
Two live hours from wherever you are, spent the way the season deserves: unhurried, honest, and on paper — so you leave with your next season designed, not just imagined.
View from the suite.
Down the stone stair
What you'll leave with
Your next season, designed.
Not a mood board. A decision. By the end of the afternoon you'll have put your next season on paper in your own hand — the one you want, not the one you were handed.
- I
A clear picture of the season you actually want
Named plainly, before anyone else's advice gets to it.
- II
Your fork, faced
The vision or the practical — you'll know which one you're choosing, and why it's the faithful choice.
- III
A plan you'll keep
The journal page you'll come back to all autumn: what changes first, and what it looks like when it's done.
Who this is for
The good girl who did everything right.
You followed the rules. You built what you were supposed to build. And somewhere quiet inside, you can't stand where it landed you.
Or you're the woman who laid a dream down for someone she loved.
If you're still building it
You haven't laid the foundation yet, and everyone has an opinion about what the "right" life looks like. You suspect the safe plan isn't yours. Come design the season before the practical wins by default.
If you built the "right" life
Twenty years on the same track, doing it correctly, and it isn't working for anyone — least of all you. You don't need to burn it down. You need to redesign. Come start with one season.
Whichever woman you are, the line is the same: redesign your life.
Let me give you the most immaculate Bombshell Blueprint.
On the stair, rebuilt
Your host
Rebuilt from nothing. Designed on purpose.
A single mother of two who rebuilt her life from rubble into a tricoastal one — Newport Beach, California; Georgetown, Washington DC; and part of the year in France — on her own merit and on purpose.
