More Styling with Lauren Tucker!



Mixing bulky thick fabrics with tight spandex fabrics makes the model seen above,Lauren Tucker, appeal thinner. Over sized garments mixed with tight fabrics is in!

Tip: Pay close attention to how you mix different textures with the outfit '

Trend: inspiration from the early 1980s mixed in with the late 1990s with a modern twist. This nude neutral color palette works with Lauren's skin because she has olive color in her skin tone. ...this skin palette would not look good on pasty white skin....only use all same color palette if it accents your eyes and skin tone....

Styling with Lauren Tucker


Lauren Tucker loves clothes! She definitely has her own unique wardrobe mix of second-hand, markdowns, & Free People clothing. She has a good eye for making expensive work with inexpensive.

My 3 important RULES to staying trendy on a BUDGet:

The three keys to staying trendy on a budget is:
1)Constantly hit the second-hand clothing stores once or twice a week because new things are dropped off every day .....
2) only buy things if you absolutely LOVE it!
3) keep updated on new fashion trends and relate it back to what you already have in your closet

I am slowly starting a new blog about styling on a budget. Watch out for more new fashion collaborations!!COMING SOOOON!

Rome....6 months ago

The Panthenon in Rome, Italy! Those of you that follow my blog I never finished putting up all of the pictures from my Europe trip last summer. Our last stop was Rome and I am just now, 6 months later, getting to posting the pictures from Rome. To refresh your memory the trip to Europe was a graduation present from my Grandparents last summer 2009.



The best pizza we had on the whole trip was at the Napoli train station. Who would have thought?
Our last day in Sorrento, Italy before my Grandparents and I set out on a train to Rome.

My grandmother soon to be 75 years old is still in great shape for walking everywhere in Europe with me.

last morning in Sorrento...

The Spanish Steps: Rome, Italy


I became very drawn to the modern, very stark white, smooth sculptures mixed in the environment of ancient architecture. This sculpture reminds me of the Mentos Freshmaker, and this sculpture resembles the dissolving stages in your mouth.
