Style Profile: Anne Lacson
I've known Anne for over a decade and since day one her heart of gold was highly present. Anne is someone who always carries herself with poise and grace, lead by the most beautiful smile that instantly makes you feel welcomed and appreciated! Her instagram is one of my favorites because mixed with her sweet spirit is the most badass and eclectic mix of killer fashion looks that always have me uber inspired! She slays with her high - low mixes and can make the most basic t-shirt look straight outta the runway with her styling. Anne is also an accomplished chef and fitness queen, only adding to the inspiration.
When asked about her personal style Anne told me:
"Expressing myself through style has unexpectedly help me push through some barriers of self-doubt by putting myself out there. It’s a great feeling when you can be you."

I think we can all be better consumers by up-cycling! It's special when I can share my closet and past style-loves with others. And, if I can’t find it or afford it I will alter or design it.

I don't mind the cold coming back, I’ve collected furs and can’t wait to wear them again! Faux whenever possible.
