FAQ:

Why did you decide to start a style blog?
I originally thought about writing a book on how to dress well on a budget with shopping guides. Then I started following other fashion bloggers and realized a blog was the perfect way to share my daily outfits. Laura Lily was born March 2012. (See my first post here.) Since then it has evolved into a fashion, travel, and lifestyle blog dedicated to sharing how to elevate your style, your home, and your life to be more luxurious. Laura Lily is all about sharing how to have attainable luxury.

Is blogging your full-time job?
Yes! I left my finance job in April 2017 to pursue my blog full-time and it is a dream come true! It took 5 years for me to get my blog up and running to be able to go full-time. I am sharing the highs and lows of working for myself on my “Real Talk” YouTube series.

My personal camera is a Canon 5D Mark II with an 85mm 1.8 lens. My photographers use a Canon 5D Mark III with a variety of lenses. I edit my photos using Camera Raw, Lightroom, Photoshop, and various iPhone apps (Facetune and Instagram.)

I believe everything Johanna Ortiz creates is a work of art. I would like to track down one of her designs for my wedding dress. I also love the labels Self Portrait and Karen Millen.

I now cannot imagine my life without them in it.

Growing my brand to include larger collaborations and product lines with brands that I love while continuing to grow as an influencer. I also want to travel internationally a lot more to experience new cultures and places.

  1. So glad I found your blog yesterday. I absolutely adore it. I especially appreciate your money saving savvy. I can appreciate spending my (hard earned) money on a splurge item once in a while, but if i can get the same item for less…that only allows me to shop longer and for MOOOORE stuff! Which brings me to my question:

    There is a splurge item I’ve been obsessing about, Prada Baroque shades. They WILL be mine. I’m ready to slap down the $290 at the Nordstroms counter, but I wanted to see if you had any thoughts/comments on purchasing luxury items (almost $300 for a pair of shades is a luxury item in my book) on discount websites. For instance buying on eBay or even consignment stores selling “gently used” or “previously loved” merchandise.

    What are your thoughts? Do you have any you recommend?

    1. Hi Lucimar,

      I make sure to research the buyer on Ebay carefully as well as the merchandise. I look up ways to spot a fake item and if the price is too good to be true, it probably is. Ebay does have a buyer’s protection policy if you are sold a fake item, however this can be a headache, so just make sure to research and know what to look for in designer items.

      Thanks for reading and best of luck!
      Laura
