Meet Michele Metts

Today we’re excited to be connecting with Michele Metts again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Michele , always such a pleasure connecting with you and thank you for sharing your stories, insights and inspiring messages with our community. We’re looking forward to getting the download and what you have been up to since our last interview, but first can you briefly introduce yourself to folks who might have missed the prior conversation.
As the owner, operator, creative developer and driving force of Vanity Style Boutique and VanityCurves, I wear many hats—but all of them are guided by my passion for fashion, wellness, fitness and overall health. I play an integral role in shaping every facet of both of my brands, from crafting my vision to overseeing day-to-day operations.

Vanity Style Boutique is a haven for those seeking stylish, high-quality fashion that celebrates individuality and elegance. Complementing it is Vanity Curves Lifestyle & Fitness, a brand committed to enhancing natural beauty while promoting health, wellness, and personal transformation starting within. With a curated line of fitness-focused products, such as athleisure wear, waist trainers, body shapers, pre and post workout supplements, vitamins and more, Vanity Curves helps individuals achieve their goals while embracing their unique journeys.

I would say what sets me apart is my hands-on approach, deep passion for innovation, and unwavering commitment to excellence. My journey thus far thas been anything but easy, shaped by countless sleepless nights, long hours, and significant sacrifices. Fueled by determination, self-discipline, and an unrelenting belief in my vision, I built these brands from the ground up, turning my dreams into reality.

Through grit and resilience, I not only established two dynamic brands but also cultivated a loyal community that values empowerment, authenticity, and high-quality products. My story is a testament to the power of hard work and the belief that success is possible when passion meets perseverance.

Awesome, so we reached out because we wanted to hear all about what you have been up to since we last connected.
Since our last chat, so much has happened—it’s been a whirlwind of creativity and growth. One of the biggest developments has been the creation of Vanity Curves Lifestyle & Fitness. It’s been a passion project of mine, focused on helping individuals feel confident and empowered on their health and wellness journeys. I wanted to create a premium brand that supports people in enhancing their natural curves while promoting fitness, self-love, and overall well-being.

The journey of developing Vanity Curves has been both exhilarating and challenging. Balancing the demands of running Vanity Style Boutique while building Vanity Curves from the ground up has taught me so much about myself—about resilience, vision, and adaptability. There have been sleepless nights, tough decisions, and moments when I questioned everything. But on the flip side, there have been so many rewarding experiences, like seeing my vision come to life and hearing how the products are positively impacting people’s lives.

Right now, things are going great. Of course, no path is without its ups and downs, but I truly feel like I’m in an exciting phase where all the hard work and sacrifices are starting to show results. I’ve seen tremendous growth in both brands—our community is thriving, and we’re connecting with people who genuinely resonate with our mission.

What I’m most excited about these days is the evolution of it all. It’s not just about what we’ve achieved—it’s about what’s coming next. I’m always refining, adapting, and dreaming bigger. There’s an energy that comes with creating something alive, something constantly evolving. The exciting part is that I feel like I’m just getting started. Whether it’s launching new products, working on collaborations, or exploring creative campaigns, there’s always something to look forward to.

At the core of it all is this journey—a journey that’s deeply personal but shared with so many. That’s the beauty of building brands like Vanity Style Boutique and Vanity Curves. They’re about empowering others, but in a way, they empower me too. Every step—good, bad, fun, or challenging—keeps me motivated and grateful. I’m excited to see where it takes me next.

What do you want people to remember about you and your brand? What are some of things that you feel are most important, unique, special, etc?
When people think about me and my brands, I want them to remember the heart and purpose behind everything I do. Vanity Style Boutique and Vanity Curves aren’t just businesses to me—they are extensions of my passion for empowering others to embrace confidence, self-love, and the strength to show up as their authentic selves.

What’s most important to me is that the work I’m doing has a lasting impact, not just on the people who connect with my brands but also on my family. Creating generational wealth is something I hold close to my heart. I want my children to see, firsthand, what it means to dream big, work hard, and stay disciplined. I want them to admire not just my successes but the determination, resilience, and sacrifices it took to get here. That’s the kind of legacy I’m building—for them and for everyone who looks to me as a source of inspiration.

I think what makes my brands special is their focus on genuinely connecting with people. Every product, campaign, or message we put out reflects a deep understanding of our community’s needs and desires. It’s not just about selling something—it’s about empowering individuals to feel confident in who they are, to celebrate their journey, and to know they are worth every ounce of effort they invest in themselves.

The unique thing about my journey is that it’s rooted in purpose and fueled by love—love for my family, love for creating something meaningful, and love for the people I’m serving. I hope that when people think of me or my brands, they feel that authenticity and intention. My goal is to inspire others to believe in themselves, just as I believed in my vision when it felt like a distant dream.

Ultimately, I want to be remembered as someone who didn’t just chase success but built something that uplifts others, creates opportunities, and leaves a lasting impact for generations to come.
