Celebrating Self-Love at the Launch of Modcloth's New York City FitShop
“I love all my dualities, all my layers.”
Last Friday, Create & Cultivate hosted a dinner celebrating the launch of ModCloth’s New York City FitShop. We invited some of our fave fashion and lifestyle influencers (like Dylana Suarez, Natalie Lim Suarez, and Hunter McGrady) to check out the new shop, snag some Insta-worthy moments in the *adorable* dressing rooms, and enjoy dinner and drinks together.
The ModCloth FitShop isn’t like a regular store. Instead, you can book an appointment with a ModStylist, who will help you throughout your showroom experience. You’ll try on your picks (in sizes 00-4X), choose your faves, and your stylist will have everything shipped direct to your door—with no shipping costs!
ModCloth is all about loving the body you’re in, so before the dinner, we asked a few of our guests what they love most about themselves….
“My heart. I care—a lot.” - Katie Sturino
“It’s the fact that I’m a multidimensional woman. I love all my dualities, all my layers—that’s what I love most about myself.” - Tracy G
“What I love most about myself is my confidence.” - Hunter McGrady
“I love that I’m a really good dog mom!” - Keiko Lynn
Want to get in on the ModCloth shopping action? You don’t have to live in NYC—the brand has stores in San Francisco, Washington DC, and Austin, too!
This post is sponsored by ModCloth.
The Biggest Mic-Drop Moments from Our Resistance Rises Pop-Up in D.C.
Show up and show out.
Resistance. Defined as the refusal to accept or comply with something; the attempt to prevent something by action or argument. It's easy to sit by and let things happen; it's harder to stand up and fight for what’s right. And that’s something we’ve all been faced with all of our lives and particularly within the last few years. It’s also why we’ve teamed up with Amazon Prime Video and its hit-show The Man in the High Castle, which has resistance embedded in its core storyline and characters. Together, our goal is to bring you compelling, noteworthy, and inspiring conversations that we hope will encourage everyone here to go out and shake shit up.
The first stop during our Resistance Rising pop-up took place in Washington D.C.. Yes, right as some very impactful protests were happening. We flocked to the Line Hotel and the energy in the room was electric - to say the least. Our first-ever D.C. pop-up was made particularly special thanks to our lovely speakers Alex Elle, Katalina Mayorga, Randi Gloss, Brandi Chantalle, and Brittany Packnett who joined us for an impactful discussion on the important issues we’re currently facing and how to become more effective change agents in our communities.
The ladies discussed the true meaning of resistance, how it started, and what it means to each of them. They also touched on how productive discomfort can encourage women to go out and make a change, but still touched on the importance of putting yourself first. The audience also learned on how to use questions as a tool to effectively speak to people who may have difference beliefs or stances on different issues. Overall, the room was electrifying and made our first time in D.C. one for the books. Ahead, some key takeaways from the conversation and more information on how you can get registered to vote and make a difference.
Mic-Drop Moments
“The resistance is showing up for each other.” -Randi Gloss
“People think that the resistance started the day after 2016 election and I’m here to tell you that it did not. There were lots of women, and women of color in particular all across this country who reminded this country of how to protest, what it looked like to protest, what it means to get arrested when it wasn’t planned, what it means to show up to a march when there is no time on a flyer.”-Brittany Packnett
“Changing is not failing.”-Randi Gloss
“Social media is great, but doing the work off the internet is greater.”-Alex Elle
“Just because you’re a progressively white woman, it doesn’t mean you’re woke.”-Katalina Mayorga
”Be mindful of your homegirls that are not checking in on you every week and asking if you’re okay.”-Randi Gloss
“I always think: How can I be present to my community that’s right in front of me, before I lend myself to a fight that is beyond my home?”-Brandi Chantalle
“The changes that I’m making, glory to god you’re going to benefit from them, but they’re for ME”-Brittany Packnett
“Showing up as my whole self, and being on my best behavior, and sharing my truth is the lesson, and whoever receives that can take it and do with what they will.”-Alex Elle
“If you can’t think of questions right away, just ask why.”-Katalina Mayorga
“A lot of people think things are happening to them and that they are not able to be in charge. We need to recognize that we are all change agents and that we have power in the decisions we make.”-Brandi Chantalle
”Self-choosing is HARD. The hard work is what we don’t want to do. A lot of people are looking for the why and not the HOW? And the how is SHOWING UP! Self choosing has to be the goal. You are allowed to choose yourself without guilt, shame or second guessing.”- Alex Elle
”Sauce is forever, juice is temporary.”- Randi Gloss
”I’ve been trying to get myself free so I can go out and do it for other people but I am still learning to advocate for myself.” -Brittany Packnett
”A lot of the time choosing yourself is almost a last resort.” - Randi Gloss
”Before you look into your community, look into yourself. Write in your journal. Self advocacy is filling out what do I need today? It’s vocalizing what you need, when you need it.”- Randi Gloss
”Asking a lot of questions breaks down defenses. That way things start to unravel and then you start to draw conclusions of how illogical that belief is.”- Brittany Packnett

Everything You Missed at Our Roxy Pop-Up
It was a night for the books.
Last night we took over LA's Fig House for a night to remember with our friends at Roxy. The brand stopped in SoCal for their Make Waves, Move Mountains tour and brought some of their athletes along for the night, plus an IRL shop. If you were in our audience, you witnessed us make waves and move mountains with our amazing roster of panelists, and Roxy pop-up shop. As always, the space was filled with a ton of Instagrammable moments to snap away. Our guests also mixed and mingled with cocktails, light bites, and left with long-standing connections to build their network. If you weren't able to make it, don't worry we've got a full recap for you.
The Panelists
Lisa Andersen: Four-time world surfing champion, all around badass. Lisa was named one of the top female athletes of the century by Sports Illustrated and was inducted into the Surfing Hall of Fame. Today, she is the worldwide ambassador for Roxy and has her own collection with the brand.
Bruna Schmitz: This professional surfer left her native Brazil at a very young age once she realized she could make a career out of the sport. Bruna became the youngest to win a Brazilian pro event, and at the age of 14, she signed with Roxy.
Deddeh Howard: Founder of the Black Mirror project and all-around influencer. Deddeh wanted to challenge the modeling industry after facing rejection, and understanding the lack of diversity. The Black Mirror Project started by recreating big campaigns with models of color, and it went entirely viral. Deddeh wants all women to be represented in all industries.
Katie Austin: You likely know her as a wellness expert, but Katie now has her own activewear line, Austin Active, and an app that's inspiring women to live their healthiest lives. As the daughter of fitness guru, Denise Austin, Katie naturally stepped into the wellness space and has garnered an audience of her own.
Jordan Younger: AKA the Balanced Blonde, runs a successful blog, podcast, and is also a published author. She's been open about her struggles with an eating disorder and pushing through it to create the best life for her. She now serves as an inspiration for other women who are looking to understand wellness and practice self-care on the regular.
Mic-Drop Moments
“Once you get the fear out of the way, you’ll be able to achieve your dreams.”- Deddeh Howard
“If you can walk away from certain facets of your business, it’s not a failure.”- Jordan Younger
“I always tried to keep an open mind and understand why my life was going in the direction it was going.”- Bruna Schmitz
“I took all of my savings and put it into a clothing line & app in college and they failed. But looking back now, I know that HAD to happen.”- Katie Austin
The Space
We transformed the Fig House into a Roxy-lover's dream. There was an airstream on site, where guests can handpick Roxy clothing items as well as accessories. For the surfing fans, there was a trio of boards set up to take all the Instagram photos you can imagine. During the panel we had the audience sit in the main section of the venue, while they enjoyed cocktails, wine, beer, and light bites. Everyone also received their own Roxy gift bag to store all of their new items from the pop-up shop, and custom illustrations by Chloe White were made upon request.
