Hi Everyone! I'm Lauleh - Persian for Tulip - aka Lalz. I hail from the Midwest. I started this blog in December 2012 when I was living/traveling in Hawaii for a month. Since then the blog has morphed into a creative outlet where I share my travels, fashion, food, and beauty adventures. I'm the all American girl rocking the latest fashion trends with a modest twist.
My style in three words: Colorful, Accessorized, and Polished.

Why did you name your blog A Day In The Lalz? My sister is the one that actually picked the name for my blog. It all began when I showed up in Hawaii where she was doing a Emergency Medicine rotation in for a month in Oahu. Since I was there for a month she thought it would be a great idea to document my days spent in Hawaii in the form of a blog. To mimic the phrase "A Day In The Life" she came up with A Day In The Lalz - incorporating my nickname! Thanks B!
