HottHe of the Week...Lauren

Meet Lauren, vintage queen and HottHe of the Week. Lauren is a blogger as well as a HottHe, and her blog is one of those blogs that is unique, she does the style pics like everyone else but also throws in sales and deals going on in the fashion world. Good place to check out for the latest news, something different from your normal fashion blogs. He is a fan of her vintage bo-ho chic style or whatever you want to call it, it says "you might not think I tried to look good, but I do." Lauren is He Approved.

How would you describe your style? I’m equally inspired by 70’s bohemia style and grunge from the 90’s. I like to switch it up day to day, and then somedays I even mix the two. I love to pair something pretty like a long flowy maxi dress with something super tough like a leather jacket and motorcycle boots. oh, and side note- i'm kinda obsessed with Bridget Bardot- she's the ultimate boho babe for me. her hair is inspiration enough!

Favorite item you own? my favorite item i own is a vintage leopard fur coat i bought from the popular consignment boutique, Decades in LA. i feel like a million bucks when i wear that coat and i almost never put it down out of fear something might happen to it. it's kind of obsessive.

Who are your favorite designers? Some of my favorite designers: i love so many designers for so many diff reasons. on the lux end, i love marchesa for eveningwear, i love isabel marant and alexander wang for ready to wear, chanel hands down for accessories (im a big chanel collector), i'm inspired by the runways each season at Balmain, i love the effortless chic of Michael Kors & Ralph Lauren, and then in terms of vintage designer clothing it's a toss up between Lanvin, Dior and YSL. The part B to this question would be the designers i currently favor in my realistic and affordable wardrobe: i love a lot of aussie labels like sass & bide, one teaspoon, minkpink and stylestalker; jbrand, siwy and blank denim are my go-to denim labels; i'm obsessed with Planet Blue's (in santa monica) private label Blu Moon and their tshirt line Blue Life; i'm also kind of obsessed with Spanish Moss Vintage's private label American Gold.
