Life is a Story. Make yours a fairytale with Designer Lauren Elaine.
“When I used to read fairy tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!” – Alice Fairytales and fashion require imagination. And Wonderland is imagination running free. An evolving menagerie of eclectic, inspired pieces- Wonderland represents a whimsical take on ready-to-wear fashion. No rules,
Merry Christmas Eve! Today I’m sharing a full look at our holiday home decor for 2018 – we’ve added some new additions since last year (and some previously empty rooms now have furniture!) I love decorating for the holidays, and each year I hope to add something new – whether it’s a new themed tree,
10 years ago, I fell madly in love with my best friend. I also fell in love with Fashion…and together, we embarked on one crazy adventure. And what a journey it’s been. To celebrate our 10 years in love and fashion, I’m sharing this special episode of ‘Once Upon a Seam.’ It’s a look back
Over the past couple years, my husband’s discovered a passion (and hidden talent!) for cooking. Much like design, cooking is another creative outlet. He loves putting together special menus and pairings for holiday meals and celebrations –and since we moved into our new home, I’ve become relatively obsessed with creating unique tablscapes to compliment the
As I mentioned in my last location feature post with “Elysian”, there’s no shortage of beautiful locations and backdrops in California.

And with my curious little sidekick (Mojave is now almost 5 months old!), exploring

One of the most carefully crafted and curated elements of a wedding, table decor sets the mood and feel for your reception, and creates a special atmosphere to compliment the meal being served.
Prepare for lift off. 2018 is almost here! Designing wedding gowns, I don’t play with color quite as often as I’d like. Usually, my love of bold hues comes out when I photograph gowns – from candy-colored skies to rainbow lens flares – or in our Style House decor (I have this thing with Gladiolas.)
A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. And a once-in-a-lifetime event deserves a once-in-a-lifetime gown. So it’s no wonder that trains are the most requested and customized wedding gown feature by our brides. Historically, trains were added to wedding gowns as a show of wealth and status. The longer and more extravagant the train,
Like a spark that becomes a unstoppable blaze, love is as powerful and untamable as a Wildfire. And for 2018, I’m inspired by the strength, colors, and symbolism of wildfires. In the coming weeks, we’ll be releasing a brand new mini “Wildfire” collection. Featuring glistening, ombré feathered tulle skirts with faint hints of gold,
Once upon a time, while “annual honeymooning” in the West Indies, I became shipwrecked on a treasure-filled island formally known as Saint Barthélemy (hereby know as St. Barts) – — and it served up major destination design inspiration! If Monte Carlo and Capri had a baby, it would be St. Barts. It’s a first class,
