Style Feature: Lauren

This is the start of a new series where I'll be featuring some of my stylish friends.

This is my good friend Lauren Casper. Lauren and I go way back; we are practically sisters. She is the sweetest and most likable girl I know. She is also one of the most talented graphic designers and did I mention she has amazing style. She just knows how to put it all together. I seriously love seeing what she wears. I asked Lauren to share a few of the things she loves.

 1. ANYTHING STRIPED - I'm a total sucker for stripes. Along with that, I love all things casual. Anytime I run across a striped, flowy top, I have to get it! They are a staple piece in my wardrobe right now. Not only do I love stripes, but any type of pattern. Mixing patterns, such as stripes and florals, is also something I love to do. A challenge I love is taking two items that are completely different, and making them work together.  

2. ANTIQUE GOLD NECKLACES - Luckily, these all have sentimental meaning. The silhouette is a charm that my grandma had made for my mom when she was a little girl. I lucked out with that piece! The other two, the heart and shoe, were both found by my mom and given to me as a gift. She knows how much I love gold and antiques, and she was able to find these lovelies at various shops in Utah Valley. I wear these three together every day. Antique pieces always add character to any outfit and are surely a conversation starter.

3. GOLD SALTWATER SANDALS - They are the perfect summer sandal! They are so comfortable and easy to wear. I love the gold ones because you get the traditional feel of the saltwater sandals we all know and love, yet the color sets them apart and gives them more of a modern twist.

Thanks Lauren for sharing your favorites with us, if you want Lauren to help you with any graphic design needs you may have, you can contact her at laurenmckell@gmail.com or check out her blog.
