{me, trying not to crack up}
{me, totally cracking up}
Here's Veronica's recipe for a good shoot.....
The Recipe calls for:
-very patient family members and friends
-hair curlers and makeup
-an extremely patient and loving husband
- a few cold ciders
- random props
- countless hours of hard work and laughing (a couple spent crying ... most from laughing so hard)
- an amazing friend who you used to daydream with
- and one large pizza
These were the key ingredients that went into creating dnstyle.com and I'm indescribably thrilled that we've launched! For now the site is carrying unique yet classic t-shirts that go perfect with your favorite pair of jeans (to stay home or go out) or a 40s-inspired pencil skirt to wear for work. The fashion industry has changed drastically these past 10 years and it's satisfying to see the client calling the shots for a change. People want easy to wear, care and match clothing while looking effortlessly flawless and diaNoche was up for the challenge. We can't wait to add accessories and home decor to complete the look.

Woah there! You are one hot mama!! The photos turned out beautiful!

I love the Medina - Overcast. The blue color is a gorgeous smoky tone and would be great for layering a long sleeve tee underneath...something I love to do!

Ok, Now I'm thinking you could lead another life -- in addition to the ones you have under way now, of course. Fashion model. So pretty!
Your friend forgot to mention that a very gorgeous blonde doesn't hurt a fashion shoot either! Congrats! Uh-may-zeeng.

Lauren, there is no chance that this whole interior design thing is not going to work out for you, but just in case, you clearly won't be jobless as you are stunning. Holy smokes, you look amazing!
Your photos are gorgeous! I would be happy to look half as good as you in the Casablanca in Malbec. Beautiful!
love the knights in cordoba in sable! can't wait to see more from this brand!

Look at fabulous you! How much fun were you having? It looked like a ton and you're sooooo gorgeous! I love all the t-shirts but the medina would probably be my first pick. Looks like a great venture!

I love the Casablanca in Lapiz-so cute!
YOU look gorgeous and you are gorgeous in that real, approachable, adorable way too. I like the medina in terra or black:)
Lauren- Those shots are just stunning. And the one where you and Christian are gazing at stars is just precious. Too bad Cookie magazine went under, because that shot could have been on the cover! Totally Glam Mommy.
So hard to choose from Veronica's beautiful designs, but Knights in Cordoba in Onyx edges to the top. Not only is the graphic breath-taking, but I imagine it adds the illustion of curves in all the right places!
Loretta
The pictures are stunning! I love the Medina in terra.

Love this post and the third pic most of all - you "totally cracking up". Your blogs is amazing and you are absolutely gorgeous. I'm following you, talk soon

You look phenomenal... I am jealous of shoots that involve pizza, hard cider, and rollers. Mine these days involve Cheerios, sippy cups, and short attention spans. ;o)
I love the Casablanca in Malbec. Your friend is truly talented. Good luck to all!
Loving the Casablanca in Lapis...beautiful!
What great pictures and designs! I love the Casablanca in Malbec.

Love these and especially your beautiful hair. Wish mine looked that great after two children. Question, will I look as good as you in those clothes?
I like the Casablanca in lapiz. Stunning.
It doesn't hurt to have a gorgeous looking woman to photograph like yourself!!! WOW you look amazing Lauren! I think you should drop this whole design thing and be a model, oh but then the design world would miss your talent...do both! xx Danielle
I love the Casablanca lapiz. Beautiful photos! cater3150@gmail.com
So many fun and exciting adventures you have going!
I was so excited to read that you were in Hickory, NC working on production of your new chair design-- I'm a native of Hickory (now living in the Midwest) and another connection-- my daughter and her husband live in the DC area!! :)
I love the MEDINA (ONYX)t-shirt...although, if I won, I would probably let my daughter choose a t-shirt for herself!!! :)
Lauren, you look beautiful!!
Casablanca in Lapiz is gorgeous!!! And so are you by the way...hard to believe you gave birth to two precious little boys so recently! Congrats on a fun photoshoot!
