    From Self-Doubt to Quantum Leaps

    The 2023 version of Kristina Hollinger wouldn’t even recognize the woman she has become in 2025 — and she would be so f^cking proud.

    Kristina is living proof that your life, your self-concept, and your soul can evolve into heights beyond your wildest dreams in less than 24 months. She’s not just teaching transformation through her Feng Shui mastery — she’s embodying it.

    From Self-Doubt to Quantum Leaps

    Today, Kristina’s business is booming. She’s taking her family on dream vacations around the world, expanding into her most magnetic brand era, and confidently stepping into the spotlight as a thought leader.

    And what I love most about her story is this: none of this was a 5-year or 10-year plan. It happened because she said yes to herself — again and again.

    Becoming “Her Now”

    In 2023, Kristina anchored into a mantra that changed everything: Be Her Now.

    From Self-Doubt to Quantum Leaps - look 2

    Every decision, every investment, every action was made through the lens of the woman she desired to become.

    • She hired 1:1 business coaches who embodied the life and energy she wanted to call in.
    • She joined a high-level mastermind of conscious, ambitious women who stretched her into her next level.
    • She invested in styling with me so she could show up authentically, confidently, and fully aligned with her future self.

    Did each choice stretch her? Absolutely. But every single one pulled her closer to the version of herself she always knew was possible.

    This is exactly why I created Calling Forth the Queen — because when your wardrobe and your personal brand are in alignment with your higher self, the expansion you dream about is no longer “someday.” It becomes right now.

    The Secret to Her Quantum Leap

    Kristina will tell you herself: the secret that gave her wings to leap — the key that helped her make every scary decision — was Manifesting with Feng Shui.

    The most advanced wealth and karma-clearing adjustments became the energetic foundation of every expansion she experienced. Combined with her outer transformation through styling, this created unstoppable momentum.

    That’s the magic of merging energetics and embodiment. When your closet reflects your future self, and your energy field is cleared for miracles, the universe rushes in to support you.

    Looking Back From 2025

    Kristina’s 2025 reality is a dream her 2023 self couldn’t even imagine. A thriving business. A magnetic personal brand. A wardrobe that makes her feel powerful every single day. And the confidence to lead women everywhere into their own transformations.

    This is the definition of rebirth.

    From Self-Doubt to Quantum Leaps - look 3

    Queens — if you’re ready to quantum leap into your next level, know this: it doesn’t have to take 5 or 10 years. It can happen faster than you think when you invest in the version of you who already exists inside.

    Just like Kristina, your future self is waiting. And she will be so f^cking proud.

    Ready for your own transformation? Let’s Call Forth Your Queen and align your wardrobe, your brand, and your energy with the woman you’re becoming.

    New York Fashion Week – Tips, Style, and My Personal Experience

    New York Fashion Week – Tips, Style, and My Personal Experience

    It’s that magical time again—New York Fashion Week (NYFW)! The energy in the city is electric, and the streets truly become a runway. Every February and September, the fashion world gathers in New York to celebrate creativity, artistry, and bold personal style.

    I’ll never forget my first Fashion Week in February 2017—it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my career. Since then, I’ve had the honor of attending multiple seasons, styling looks that made me feel like the best-dressed woman in every room (and on every street!).

    This year, I’m excited to share not just my best NYFW tips for attending shows, but also the styling wisdom I give to all my Queens who want to feel confident and magnetic at Fashion Week—or any event in life.

    How to Attend New York Fashion Week

    New York Fashion Week – Tips, Style, and My Personal Experience - look 2

    So many women ask me: “Do I need to be famous or invited to get into NYFW shows?” The answer is no, Queen—it’s actually easier than you think!

    1. Reach Out Directly

    The best way to score a seat at your favorite designer’s show is to send an email to the designer or their PR agency. You can usually find contact info on their website or social media. Share why you’d love to attend, mention if you’re a blogger, creator, or fashion lover, and let your passion shine through.

    2. Show Up and Try

    If you don’t hear back, don’t give up! Many shows allow walk-ins after ticket holders are seated. This is especially true for emerging designers, who put on some of the most creative and inspiring shows of the week. I’ve seen friends walk in without tickets and get incredible seats—sometimes even better than mine!

    3. Experience the Streets

    Even if you don’t get into a show, just being in New York during Fashion Week is worth it. The street style is iconic. Photographers are everywhere, and the city is alive with energy. Sometimes the best inspiration happens outside the shows.

    What to Wear to New York Fashion Week

    New York Fashion Week – Tips, Style, and My Personal Experience - look 3

    Here’s my golden rule, Queens: every street is your runway.

    You don’t need head-to-toe designer to stand out. My go-to formula:

    • Statement blazer or bold coat
    • Chic essentials like tailored denim or trousers
    • Unexpected detail (sequins with denim, polka dots with stripes)
    • Jewelry that activates your Queen energy—because accessories are what turn an outfit into a moment.

    Why NYFW Matters

    Fashion Week isn’t just about watching shows—it’s about transformation, inspiration, and connection. It’s about stepping into your power, feeling magnetic, and expressing your most authentic self.

    When I dress for NYFW, I’m not just putting on clothes—I’m aligning with the woman I’m becoming. And that’s the real secret: when you dress like a Queen, the universe responds.

    Whether you’re attending a show, walking the streets, or just soaking in the vibes from afar, remember: fashion is about more than what you wear. It’s about how it makes you feel.

    If you’re planning to attend Fashion Week, I’d love to see your looks! Tag me on Instagram @talikogan so we can celebrate your runway moments together.

    With Love, Light, and Style,Tali

  • Stop Saving Outfits for “Special Occasions” — Every Day Is Your Runway

    Stop Saving Outfits for “Special Occasions” — Every Day Is Your Runway

    Let me tell you something I see all the time as a stylist… we buy something we love—a sequin skirt, a silk blouse, or that bold necklace that makes us feel unstoppable—and then we tuck it away, waiting for the “right” moment.

    But here’s the truth: every day is a special occasion. Every day is a chance to love yourself deeper, to celebrate who you are, and to step into your power.

    Stop Saving Outfits for “Special Occasions” — Every Day Is Your Runway

    Whether you’re going into the office, running errands, or even just staying home, what you wear matters. Your outfit isn’t just fabric—it’s energy. And when you choose clothes that make you feel magnetic, confident, and alive, you are practicing the highest form of self-love.

    Dressing Like a Queen Is Self-Love

    Dressing like a Queen doesn’t mean being over the top—it means honoring yourself daily. It’s about choosing pieces that remind you of your worth, your beauty, and your strength.

    Stop Saving Outfits for “Special Occasions” — Every Day Is Your Runway - look 2

    Wear your favorite blouse today, not “someday.” Mix sparkle with denim and turn an ordinary afternoon into magic. Say yes to jewelry that feels like a crown, even if you’re just going to the grocery store.

    This isn’t about waiting—it’s about living. Because when you treat yourself like the Queen you are, the world mirrors it back to you.

    Jewelry: My Styling Secret Weapon

    Queens, I have styled hundreds of women, and I can tell you this—jewelry changes everything.

    A simple pair of jeans becomes a statement. A plain dress transforms into elegance. And the best part? It doesn’t just change how you look—it changes how you feel.

    Jewelry is not just an accessory—it’s a daily reminder that you are radiant, worthy, and unstoppable. That’s why I created MALKARI by Tali—pieces designed with intention, made to elevate your everyday into a runway moment.

    Stop Saving Outfits for “Special Occasions” — Every Day Is Your Runway - look 3

    Love Yourself Every Day

    Here’s the Queen truth: you don’t need to wait for someone else to buy you flowers, jewelry, or that gorgeous outfit you’ve been eyeing. Treat yourself. Celebrate yourself. Love yourself so wildly that every day feels like the grand occasion it truly is.

    Because when you dress like the Queen you are, it’s not just about style—it’s about calling in the life you desire. And trust me, Queens, the universe always responds.

    So tomorrow morning, when you walk into your closet, don’t ask “what’s practical?” Ask: “What makes me feel like the Queen I am?”

    Every day is your runway. Step into it with love.

    I’m so deeply honored to be featured by The Association of Intelligent Diamond International (AIDI)—a global organization dedicated to elevating the diamond and jewelry industry through innovation, collaboration, and purpose.

    This recognition is more than a feature, it’s a moment to reflect on how far this journey has come!

    For me, styling was never just about clothes or accessories—it was about survival. After leaving an abusive marriage, I found myself using fashion and jewelry as a way to heal, rebuild, and step into a life filled with light. It became my medicine.

    MALKARI is a brand rooted in fierce femininity and regal strength. Every lion, butterfly, and bold design carries symbolism to protect, empower, and transform the women who wear them.

    This AIDI feature celebrates not just jewelry, but the women who wear it. Our clients don’t just accessorize—they collect pieces that become part of their story. And to every queen who has worn MALKARI, you are the reason we create.

    Thank you for being part of this movement. Thank you for allowing me to turn pain into power—and to share that power with you!

    Something extraordinary happened last week! At the Brilliance Summit, 12,000 women from around the world came together for a day that redefined how we see ourselves—our power, our leadership, and our legacy.

    At the center of it all was our muse, Goddess of LightJessica Zweig, who graced the stage wearing a bold MALKARI stack, including the piece that began the MALKARI movement: The Jessica Necklace.

    She sat at a table adorned with a dazzling spread of MALKARI jewels.

    The Jessica necklace isn’t just jewelry—it’s an activation. Born of light and crafted with intention, she embodies radiance, resilience, and unapologetic presence. Jessica’s stack lit up the room with every move, reminding us that “when we adorn ourselves with meaning, we rise.”

  • She lost the weight… but was still hiding. Until this.

    She lost the weight… but was still hiding. Until this.

    I’m so excited to share the most powerful transformation I’ve witnessed yet.

    She lost the weight… but was still hiding. Until this

    Meet Style Queen Gauri Chawla.

    A powerhouse Senior Vice President at a Fortune 500 tech company, yoga teacher and a visionary ready to birth her own women empowerment brand.

    She came to me ready for a reinvention—but still dressing like her past.

    Even after losing weight, she was stuck in the same baggy clothes.

    Leggings. Oversized tees. Day after day.

    She told herself:

    “I work from home. What I wear doesn’t matter.”

    But here’s the truth, Queen:

    How you dress shapes how you show up.

    For your business. Your relationships. Your future.

    And from the moment Gauri stepped into HER wardrobe…

    She LIT up.

    We created a style that celebrated every layer of her:

    ✨ Fierce corporate leader

    ✨ Grounded spiritual guide

    ✨ Feminine, radiant visionary

    ✨ The next-level version of herself

    And when she stepped in front of the camera for her personal brand photoshoot…

    The shift was instant.

    She wasn’t just styled.

    She was ACTIVATED.

    She lost the weight… but was still hiding. Until this - look 2

    She lost the weight… but was still hiding. Until this - look 3

    The next morning, she texted me:

    “I feel HER.”

    “I feel lighter.”

    And throughout the day, she kept saying the words I’ll never forget:

    “This is CONFIDENCE.”

    What Gauri walked away with:

    ✔ A fully curated, elevated wardrobe with at least 20 styled looks

    ✔ A lookbook to make getting dressed effortless

    ✔ Over 150 editorial photos from her personal brand shoot

    ✔ A wardrobe aligned with her entire life: boardroom to yoga mat

    ✔ And most importantly… a new identity.

    One that reflects who she really is.

    She’s no longer dressing for comfort.

    She’s dressing for her calling.

    She lost the weight… but was still hiding. Until this - look 4

    This means everything to me.

    This is what my brand—and my process, Calling Forth the Queen—is all about.

    I’m so honored to work with the most incredible women and have the privilege of witnessing them step into their power, their truth, and their full expression.

    She lost the weight… but was still hiding. Until this - look 5

    And Queen… if you’re ready to step into your full potential by unlocking your personal style…Applications are now open to work with me in 2026 for my signature Calling forth the Queen Styling & Photoshoot Experience.

    If you’ve been feeling stuck in your style…If you’ve been standing in front of your closet thinking, “I have nothing to wear,” It’s not because you need more clothes.

    It’s because you need a wardrobe that’s anchored in the woman you’re becoming.And it starts with the right essentials — like the timeless white shirt.

    The White Shirt is Her

    • She’s not loud, but she commands attention.
    • She’s not trendy, but she’s never out of style.
    • She’s clean, chic, and endlessly versatile — a true reflection of Queen energy.

    I wear my white shirt everywhere:

    • To a business meeting styled with gold MALKARI layers and tailored pants
    • With denim shorts for a lakefront walk
    • As a swim cover-up on vacation
    • Or half-tucked into jeans for dinner with my husband.

    So many of the women I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed by their closets and disconnected from their style.

    They think they need to shop more, but the truth is… they need a system.

    They need wardrobe essentials that work together.

    They need pieces that allow them to get dressed with ease and embody the energy of the woman they are stepping into.

    The white shirt is one of those magical pieces. It’s a canvas. A reset. A styling dream.
