All About Lauren

Lauren, is a personal stylist here at lookingGLASS, with a rich background in the art of fashion. Hailing from the vibrant El Paso, Texas region, she developed her affinity for style during her formative years in Austin, where she studied Nutrition at the University of Texas. While her academic path initially veered toward Fashion and Textiles, Lauren ultimately chose to follow her passion for personal styling after graduation.

Lauren embarked on her styling journey right after college, gaining valuable experience at notable establishments like Kendra Scott, Neiman Marcus, and even branching into men's styling as a custom tailor at Tom James Company. Her dedication to empowering women through style led her to StitchFix before she joined our team as our inaugural stylist.

What Lauren values most in her style odyssey is the understanding that everyone's relationship with clothing is unique. She's committed to helping clients feel their absolute best, whether they're embracing their everyday routine or stepping out with bold, Vogue-worthy looks. Lauren believes that style is a personal reflection, and infusing each ensemble with individuality is her top priority.

Her Family

Beyond her passion for fashion, Lauren is a loving wife and mother of two wonderful children, a boy, and a girl. During her downtime, you'll often find her jogging along the scenic Town Lake (known as Lady Bird Lake for non-Austinites), exploring specialty grocery stores, and embarking on adventures with her family. Lauren proudly considers herself a foodie and enjoys crafting new culinary delights to share with friends and loved ones.

Lauren's wardrobe versatility comes to the forefront as she effortlessly transitions from chic monochromatic ensembles for evenings out to easy, casual looks by pairing the same sweater with jeans and sneakers during jam-packed weekends filled with kids' events.
