Meet Designer Lauren Monteagudo from Au79
Labels: accessories, designers, fashion, jewelry, street wear 1 commentsWhen it comes to jewelry a girl can't have enough. For me I love the thought of a sentimental piece, but with most of my items being off-the wall purchases I confess when I spot something different it usually comes home with me. So when I came across Au79 last week I couldn't help but fall in love.
So I had to ask my Designer Fill-in-Blanks, this lady was too cool to pass up!
First thing I do when I wake up is, twitter!
My favorite spot in my house is my closet

My comfort food is sushi
I feel my best when wearing Louboutins ( KL: Who doesn't?)
My biggest splurge is my collection, my cheapest find prada bag on sale for $300
Color I wear the most pink neon!

“Regardless of your profession, it matters what you stand for,” Monteagudo said. “From the doctor wearing it under her scrubs, to the hot, young PR girl working the red carpet, to the fashionista layering tons of bracelets for dinner and drinks with the girls.”
My inspiration comes from my goals

My desk drawer is full of pens
I can’t leave home without my Ray bans
There is always receipts in my purse.
Always risk, Never lose

The symbol is reflected in necklaces, bracelets and rings with the double-finger shovel ring highest in demand.
“She’s not sitting around waiting for things to happen,” Monteagudo said. “She’s out there making them happen.”
