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.
