meet the cupcakeMAG {intern} Laura!




Laura resides in New Mexico and has an identical twin sister Lourdes that loves fashion as much as her. Laura has always had an interest in fashion. She took her first fashion design class while in high school and immediately fell in love with the creative process. She knew that fashion was the career for her. Laura loves fashion, reading and writing.

She decided to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree at New Mexico State University where she majored in Clothing, Textiles, and Fashion Merchandising. During her college career she was an active member of the Student Association of Fashion Merchandising and Marketing (SAFMM). Within three years she went from member, Co-Vice President to President. As President of SAFMM she coordinated and directed fashion shows. After graduation she landed an internship with a style website where she was contributing editor. She then decided to co-create two blogs dedicated to style and green fashion. She is now pursuing a Masters degree in Fashion at the Academy of Art University.

When Laura isn’t busy with school she loves to blog about fashion, sketch, read magazines, fashion books and chick-lit novels.
