Introducing our current Criscara Brand Ambassador crush, Kayla Cooper (@kaylancoop). Kayla has become a rising star on Instagram, and it's no surprise - her perfectly curated style and wanderlust-inducing photos provide the ultimate bohemian inspiration, but it's her genuine, sparkling spirit that her followers truly connect with. Whether she's vacationing in Bali or igniting a conversation around authenticity in social media, her account has quickly become one of our favorites to follow and we're thrilled to have her as part of our Ambassador family!
We're so in love with her modern bohemian vibe that we asked her to model our Summer '19 capsule collection, Serendipity. Check out the entire lookbook and shop the limited-edition collection!
We sat down with Kayla to chat about her favorite travel spots, her day-to-day life and the inspiration behind her photography and content creation. I hope you enjoy learning more about Kayla, and be sure to follow along on her adventures! XO, Crista

I am a Midwestern girl from a small town in Indiana. I work in an office full time, and I am married to the love of my life. We have been together since we were Freshman at Purdue University which was 11 years ago! We moved across the country after college, but we ultimately ended up right back in Indiana near our families. I love our life together and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
After a few years of working in the corporate world, the day to day grind started to get to me. I started feeling uninspired and didn’t really feel like I had a purpose or passion for anything. Then about a year ago I discovered there was this whole world of fashion bloggers and influencers killing it on social media (I know, I live under a rock). This seemed like the perfect creative outlet for me as I have always had a unique style and love for fashion. I immediately went out and bought a camera, and I started practicing photography and taking photos of myself after work or on the weekends. I had no idea I would fall in love with photography and content creation the way that I have. It has really sparked something inside of me, and I feel inspired every day. I have a website in the works, and while this is still just a hobby for me, I am so excited for the future and where things can grow from here.

I caught the travel bug a few years ago, and I take a trip every chance I get. I am definitely the type of person who wants to fill my life with adventures, not things. I try to take 2 trips a year to a country I have never been before. My favorite country so far has been Greece, and Morocco is at the top of my bucket list.
One of my absolute favorite things to do is dance. I like all types of dance, but I absolutely love going out salsa dancing or line dancing! I am also constantly dancing at home with my husband, who happens to be an excellent dancer himself. Dancing for me is a way that I can let loose and feel completely in the moment. It’s like all the cares of the world disappear, and It’s just me and the music.

I would describe my style as modern boho. I am definitely into clothing that gives off a free-spirited, laid back vibe. I have been fascinated with other cultures since I was a child, and I love boho prints and patterns that are inspired by different parts of the world. I am really into flowy fabrics, bell bottom jeans, and layers and layers of jewelry.

I am so excited that hair scarves are a huge trend right now! They are so much fun and so versatile. I think they can add so much to even the simplest of looks.
