Michelle’s Louisiana roots run deep – she was both born and raised there and went on to graduate from Southeastern Louisiana University. Upon earning her degree, she embarked on an exciting journey to Los Angeles. There, she flourished as an actor and model, landing prestigious roles with renowned brands like Michael Antonio Footwear, Surf Illustrated, Cutesy Girl Clothing, Global Nutrition, and Honeydew Clothing, among others. These experiences provided her with an enriched understanding of the fashion industry’s intricacies. Amidst the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles, fate intervened when Michelle crossed paths with her future husband, Dean West, another Louisiana native. Serendipitously, their shared connection to their Southern roots and the booming entertainment industry prompted them to return to their home turf, embracing the warmth of the South once more.
As Michelle dove further into the film industry, her credits include HBO’s TREME, Common Law, Leverage, Mississippi River Sharks, and Indecent Justice to name a few. She is a two time “Best Actress” winner at the LC Film Festival.
While skillfully navigating her roles as an actor and model, Michelle also ventured into the realm of entrepreneurship, owning an online clothing boutique. Although she cherished this venture, she realized that running the boutique demanded an immense amount of time and focus, leaving little room for her other passions like personal shopping, styling, and blogging. Gradually, her affinity for assisting clients and documenting her fashion journey led her to a pivotal decision. After nurturing the boutique for four enriching years, she chose to close its digital doors and set her sights on a new path. This transition marked the birth of her blog, where she seamlessly integrates her love for fashion and style advice. Since its inception, Michelle has fostered fruitful partnerships with an array of fashion and beauty brands, aligning with those she genuinely admires. Her commitment to curating a journey through life’s moments resonates profoundly in her content, where she generously shares collaborations, travel escapades, and the beautiful tapestry of her daily life as a mom. Stay tuned for the exciting chapters ahead!
