MY WORK

I've worked in B2B and B2C publishing my entire career, most recently as Director of Fairchild Studio (WWD, Sourcing Journal, Beauty Inc. and Footwear News) and Editor-in-Chief of Accessories Magazine, and have loved every minute. I’ve visited hundreds of designer studios and fashion events, watch shows in Switzerland, jewelry shows in Hong Kong, eyewear shows in Paris, shoe shows in Milan, artisan shows in Morocco, sustainability summits in New York—camera in hand, notebook ready.

The best part? Helping executives and companies tell their stories, and the feedback I always hear is:
"You said it better than I ever could!"

My very first job was for National Jeweler, so I'll always have a soft spot for fine jewelry, but I've since written for The New York Times, Washington Post, Northforker, Southforker, WWD, Sourcing Journal, Wine Press, Hamptons Country, S3 Turks & Caicos, Smock, Earnshaws, EyeWear, JCK and many more. Where else could I have profiled C-suite fashion executives, award-winning designers and chefs, famous artists and photographers, Caribbean spas, wineries and farmers?

I have a B.S. in Communications from Cornell University and I like to think I've done my "Writing for Magazines" professor proud.

TESTIMONIALS

Sherie Dolinoy, Former Publisher,
Accessories Magazine

Lauren and I worked side by side for over 15 years at Accessories Magazine as Publisher and Editor. She is wicked smart, comes up with a million creative and money-making ideas and is a great collaborator. She juggles the industry's many facets with ease--from writing market reports, business stories and brand/retailer profiles to creating trend pages and runway posts. She really has her finger on the pulse of the market and is super-connected in the accessories industry. That's why her coverage is always spot on and pulled together so fast!
