Energy. Your energy introduces you before you even speak. Translation: Your only limit is you. The vibes you give off are a reflection (literally) of your self confidence. If you don’t feel confident— it shows in your body language, the way you carry a conversation, and even how your eyes sparkle (or don’t [...]
Yeah so luckily this is not a conversation we’re having face-to-face, because my mouth is numb from topical lidocain and my jaw is a tad swollen. I look ridiculous . . . pretty sure there’s a Snapchat filter out there that could perfectly emphasize this swelling I’m experiencing post-oral surgery. I had surgery just [...]
http://www.skinnyinheels.com/2019/01/beauty-health-and-happiness-tips-for.html As I wake up today, it’s cloudy outside and I remember how far I’ve come. So many of you follow me on Instagram and this blog because of my career in fashion. Thank you for that. I’m hopeful you even appreciate my sense of humor or maybe we are friends from college. But [...]
Happy Summer fashion lovers! I don't know about you, but it sure is toasty here in Texas. And when it comes to this summer heat, nothing feels better on your body than a lightweight silky ensemble. Comfortable, breathable, versatile and classy . . . all together my definition of summer chic. Without further adieu, [...]
Bodysuits. They are ideal for layering-- which is a must in Dallas during the fall and winter seasons. And more than anything, who doesn't love the look of a tucked in top that stays tucked in . . . without the fuss? This bodysuit is one of my personal faves, made from the softest [...]
There is a time and a place for distressed denim and one fabulous blazer. It's those two magic words-- Girls' Night! Distressed jeans are a staple in my wardrobe. These jeans are a cropped version, so they're perfect for showing off your favorite heels. Now there's one main thing to keep in mind when [...]
Spring is here, but that doesn't mean you need to change up your entire wardrobe. Adding a pop of color paired back to nude strappy sandals turns any girls favorite outfit color (black) into a fun spring ensemble. Go into any girls closet and she has black, black and more black. It's obvious that [...]
TGIF Fashion lovers! Yessss, it finally feels like fall, so it's time to get out your UGGS, put on a moo-moo (that adorable tent-like outfit) and never change out of those leggings that have split seams and two holes in them. --> Said no girl ever . . . or maybe you have thought this? [...]
It's Wednesday evening - AKA, almost Thursday and that means it's almost Friday. Yasssss! Come tomorrow morning, put your lipstick on, turn on some rap music and just handle it. At least that's what this "boss babe" does. My life is far from perfect, please allow me to clarify that. If you have been following [...]
Welcome to Part 1 in a four-part series titled, "Empowering Fashion and Style". These blog posts go in conjunction with the recent article Simonetta Lein published about me and my business, Life-STYLE by Laura. If you don't know Simo, I like to refer to her as the modern day Oprah. Seriously though . . . [...]

There is nothing more beautiful and attractive than confidence. And top that off with inner peace and true happiness-- what more could [...]
"I am so sorry you have to face life with this kind of wound. I don't have any answers or magic words. In fact I would rather sit or walk with you for a silent hour than fill your ears with words that ring hallow and fall so short of real comfort. I would rather [...]
Confidence is key. When a man walks into a room, his internal confidence becomes external. Whether he is drawing upon his experience, his faith, or the notion that he knows he looks good . . . wherever it comes from, confidence is key.We all want it, but not every one possesses it. Confidence comes from [...]
Isn't that quote amazing? It may seem deep, but don't you worry dolls, this post will be moving and awesome (if I have anything to do with it :) Let's just start by saying that I am more inspired than ever to inspire YOU this week. We all know that life is not all rainbows, [...]
Oh Jimmy Choo- you never let me down... But this post is all about turquoise, mint, royal, aqua, navy, sky, midnight-- BLUE and more blue. And, guess what? If you wear blue, chances are you will be far from "feeling blue".Actually hear me out on this-- it's pretty fascinating. Not only is blue a stunning [...]
Let me preface this blog post by saying that my original plan was to showcase a couple of my favorite beach-ready looks, BUT the swimwear and cover ups actually sold out nationwide before I could share them with you. Oh well, I'm actually more in the mood for a heartfelt blog tonight. Sound good to [...]
Red, White and BLUE! Yes, there's something so amazing about the Fourth of July weekend, and I can't exactly put my finger on it. Besides the obvious patriotic component, July 4th is truly when friends and family make a valid effort to pause their busy work schedules and spend quality time together. So before I [...]
Yes! Let's definitely make it worth their while, right? Summer is here, and fortunately we've had some beautiful days (in between 40 days and 40 nights of rain)! LOL. The best news is that fashion is in full swing here in Dallas, TX, and I have been extremely fortunate to partner with some of the [...]

The whole venue will be transformed into a magical white wonder land. Tagged as the top Dallas charity event of the year, this is [...]
Love and be loved. That's all we could ever ask for, right? And with that love, we find happiness . . . or at least that's our heart's intention. One of the best books I've ever read is The Five Love Languages by Gary D Chapman. I challenge all of you to purchase this book. [...]
Dallas vibes from today were my inspiration for this outfit. After all, the sun finally came out! Now that deserves one giant, fashionable curtsy. To add extra style to your outfit, be sure to mix warm and cool tones. This nude tank, tied in a side knot, combined with fresh blue, distressed denim really makes this [...]
This is by far one of my favorite quotes to date. If you think about it, fashion is also how the world sees you. How do you want the world to see you? And I challenge you to look past the idea of materialism, because that is not what fashion and style is all about. For [...]
Hi Fashion and Rock Lovers:I'm a firm believer that if you surround yourself with positive, uplifting people, then and only then, you are destined to do great things in this world. One of my gifts (thanks to the Man upstairs) is fashion - and in return, I embrace fashion as my passion! When I met [...]
