About

Hi everyone! I’m Laura, the fashion addict behind Smart Southern Style and I’m so glad you’ve stopped by. I’m a Southern girl who loves travel, finding a great sale, Mexican food and colorful clothes! I live in Charlotte NC and am married to my college sweetheart who makes me laugh every day. I’m so blessed to have the two most wonderful daughters (ages 19 & 13) and am eternally grateful for the grace and love of Jesus.

I created this blog as a place to provide fashion and style inspiration to ladies in their 40s and beyond who want to live a fashionable life without breaking the bank. I love to mix colors and price points and am a firm believer that you can have great style on any budget. Travel and beauty are some of my other passions so you will occasionally see posts on here about those interests as well. I am thrilled when you all find value in what I share, and am honored to have been named Best Influencer by Charlotte Magazine in 2022.

You can find any of my fashion related posts under the STYLE tab at the top of this page. All posts related to beauty products can be found under the BEAUTY tab. Any posts focusing on travel, beauty or other topics will be found under the LIFESTYLE tab. And you can shop any of the items I post on INSTAGRAM and FACEBOOK from the “Shop” tab at this top of this page.  You can also follow me on the LikeToKnow.it app HERE to shop my daily looks.

I’d love to hear about any specific topics you would like to see on here or any questions you may have. Feel free to email me at smartsouthernstyle@gmail.com.
