Do you believe in something beautiful? Then get up and be it.

About Me


“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” - Coco Chanel
"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." - Audrey Hepburn
"So the weight of the world, it won’t get you down. You make what you wear and you don’t wait around. You give ‘em what they want (or as much as you can), like you’ve done all along, and you’ll do again" - Ted Leo
"For the slow fade of love. It might hit you from below. It's your gradual descent into a life you never meant. It's the slow fade of love." - Rilo Kiley
"I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you. But just being around you offers me another form of relief. When the loneliness leads to bad dreams, and the bad dreams lead me to calling you, and I call you and say, "C'MERE!" And it's bad news. Baby, I'm bad news. I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news" - Rilo Kiley
"Heard a siren from the docks. Saw a train set the night on fire. Smelled the fall on the smokey wind. Dirty old town, dirty old town." - Ted Leo
Hi! My name is Lauralyn. I'm currently attending the University of Michigan Art and Design school. My concentration is on clothing, costumes and performance.
In my freetime I enjoy making clothing for myself, playing with my kitties Gigi & Abby, reading (mostly ethnographies and memoirs), knitting, embroidery, cooking, running, antiquing, karaoke.. and a lot of other things!
Please take a look at my etsy site.. Enjoy!
