After a successful career in PR at Yves Saint Laurent, Bridget Bahl began her journey as a fashion blogger. Now the founder of the clothing brand The Bar and an influencer with over 600,000 followers, she continues to inspire women with her style and grace while making people laugh in the process.
How would you describe your personal brand?
A girl’s girl trying to make it in the Big City. Inspiring other women to dream big and laugh along the way.
What are three words that describe you?
Silly, compassionate and sensitive!
What inspired you to become an influencer and what is now your favorite part of being one now?
I started my blog after a huge break up. I would write journal style blog posts as I listened to Taylor Swift crying tears into my pinot grigio. My platform grew from there and I also grew personally. My favorite part now is being able to use that pain to help other women and inspire them. I want to show that regardless of their situation or where they come from they can accomplish all of their dreams. If I did it, they definitely can too!
How would you describe your stay at the Four Seasons Serengeti Lodge?
The Four Seasons Serengeti Lodge was absolutely magical. From the welcoming staff to the gourmet food, the picturesque landscape and the beautiful rooms, everything was absolutely amazing. I loved having the chance to see lions up close on our safari too!
What were you looking forward to most when coming onto this trip?
Seeing the lions up close and personal.
What was your favorite part about the trip?
Meeting an incredible group of women and bonding over the idea of not being eaten alive! haha
What is something you learned about Africa during your stay?
The spirit of the people is so joyful! I will miss their smiles.

Sheet masks and SPF!
Do you have a beauty ritual?
Every night no matter what I grease myself up like a bottom of a pizza box. I have dry skin and depending on what my skin needs at that time it can vary but it usually looks something like this:
Dermalogica PreCleanse, Dermalogica Microfoliant, IS Clinical active serum, Joanna Vargas Rescue Serum,
It Cosmetics Confidence in a cream Gel Lotion and face cream!
What is your favorite fashion trend at the moment?
Oversized blazers. They make any look incredibly chic, even sweatpants with sneakers.
What is your favorite accessory to wear daily?
My Cartier wedding bands. I’m not married but I wear them on my pointer fingers.
What is something you would like to say to your fans?
That they actually can accomplish anything they can dream up!
Are you working on any exciting projects?
I have a fashion brand called The Bar. It’s all about setting the bar with quality products designed and produced in NYC. It hasn’t even officially launched and it’s already selling at Moda Operandi! So excited for the new styles to launch!

Create a mass product. Attend a trip with Compassion International. Start a family.
