HELLO 25!
Happy Sunday! Today I’m welcoming year 25 and so excited to celebrate with a fun “25 themed” post with you here on the blog! With some new faces around here, I thought it would be fun to compile a list of 25 things you may or may not know about me. I always love reading posts/ lists like these so thought I’d give it a try myself! Without further adieu…
P.s. Items are listed in no particular order :)
25 Things You May Not Know About Me
I come from a big family! I am one of 5 kids, and all of my siblings are my very best friends.
I was born and raised in Mountain Brook, Alabama.
I started my blog as a freshman in college at The University of Alabama… and then my college path took a bit a “non-traditional” turn. Read all the details in this post.
I moved to Palm Beach, Florida in July 2019. Read all about my move here.
Soon after my move last year, my business expanded with the launch of @LCB_Creative- I began offering photography and creative services for brands/ businesses apart from my blog.
My favorite flowers are magnolias- nothing beats their sweet, fresh fragrance when they bloom across the South in the spring!
Sewing is one of my favorite hobbies, but I rarely make enough time for it.
At blog events, conferences, etc. I get mistaken as “Lauren” more times than I can count. I think it comes from people thinking my name must start with an “L” bc of the “L” in “LCB STYLE.”
My favorite way to start the morning is putting my phone away and spending 30 min- 1 hour journaling/ reading scripture & a devotional book. It makes the biggest difference in my day.
I LOVE the smell of coffee but am super sensitive to caffeine so usually drink decaf. My go-to coffee shop order is a decaf iced latte.
I’m pretty sure it’s the influence of living in Palm Beach, but I am obsessed with everything woven- totes, furniture, lighting, anything!
My workout of choice is Pure Barre, and I miss not having one super close to me in Palm Beach!
The TIBI Spring 18 show was my first NYFW runway show to attend. See more here!
During my sophomore year of college, I designed and created an 8 piece fashion collection that I shared here on the blog- see it here.
1000 Gifts by Ann Voskamp will forever be one of my most favorite books. I think I’ve read it 3 times now.
I am a night owl and love staying up working after everyone has gone to bed and things are super quiet.
Coldplay is my all time favorite artist/band. I went to one of their concerts in July 2016, and I think it was one of the best nights of my life.
My mom is usually the one behind the camera/ taking the pictures you see here and on my Instagram! She is an angel :)
I used to be afraid of flying but thankfully the Lord graciously and kind of miraculously freed me of that fear about 5ish years ago.
If you had told me 5 years ago I’d be living in Palm Beach, Florida, I never would have believed you. God’s surprises in life and constant provision always amaze me.
I have an addiction to chocolate... I crave it more than anything else.
My love for fashion comes from both of my grandmothers.
The first NYFW show I ever went backstage at was Self Portrait Spring 18, and I literally had chills the whole time. I was in fashion heaven.
I have always been obsessed with dressing up. I can’t get started on my day without “getting dressed.” It’s always been something I do just for me.
Traveling (exploring new places and meeting new people) fills me with more joy than I can express in words.
