DRIVEN BY DESIGN
Lauren Lerner’s outfits are just as chic as the spaces she creates

Much like her interior design approach, Lauren Lerner’s personal style features great silhouettes and a simple color palette. “Being at the forefront of the design industry gives me access to the latest and greatest trends,” Lerner says. “My style has evolved over time and became a mix of trends in small doses while keeping my closet staples and more expensive pieces classic.” The founder and principal designer of Living with Lolo interior design firm finds herself drawn to pops of blue, purple, and green. She loves to incorporate textures and abstract patterns, creating a modern eclectic style often inspired by her travels. Her creative use of neutral hues and earth tones can be seen both in her outfits and the spaces she designs. Most of Lerner’s days consist of client meetings and site visits, so she gravitates toward shoes that are both fashionable and functionable, like lug boots or Golden Goose sneakers. “I am also obsessed with dresses from the Los Angeles brand MISA and the Parisian brand ba&sh,” she says. “They make you look effortlessly chic and I love the beautiful fabrics and the feminine details.”
How do you feel about accessories? I love accessories! They are here to accentuate our outfits (or homes!) and really help complete a look – no matter the occasion. I particularly love shoes. They are my favorite accessory to splurge on! What trend are you loving right now? I am really loving the lug boots trend! You can style them in many different ways, and they are the perfect edgy alternative to a regular black ankle boot. And of course, I also love how comfortable they are, which is very practical. What is your most prized possession in your closet? Right now, it's my Saint Laurent Lou Matelassé Leather Camera bag in dark beige because it goes with everything, but I am eyeing the Salvatore Ferragamo Viva Bow shoulder bag in cream for this spring.
