Lauren never planned to travel for a living. In fact, at 20, she had never been abroad and didn’t have a passport. Then, one semester of studying abroad changed everything.

Lauren was working towards a degree in English and Psychology when she decided to spend a semester in Sydney, Australia. It was her first trip abroad, and these four months changed her completely. She was in a foreign country, with no friends or family, and she was the happiest she’d ever been.

Then the semester ended. Lauren went back home, to the States, to finish her degree and find a job. After college, she started working a 9-5 job, supposedly living the dream of so many young professionals, but it just wasn’t enough. She would spend her days off traveling the world, and kept dreaming about leaving her job and traveling full-time.

Eventually, that’s what she did. With the love and support of her family and friends, she quit her job and applied for a teaching position in Thailand. After teaching for a semester, she again found an office job – which made her unhappy once again. So she left that too and started traveling full time, this time traveling to Europe, South America, and Africa.

Today, Lauren is living her dream, not giving in to others’ expectations or her own fears.

It’s Fall as hell out here!!! 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁

A post shared by Katie Sturino (@katiesturino) on

Sturino started a blog called the12ish style to show that girls at any size can dress well and she shares her trick to looking good when plus-sized. She told Glamor that being a size 12 used to be very important to her, “When I was married, I was very concerned about my body. I was obsessed with maintaining a size 12, or staying close to it.” After she separated from her husband she started putting on weight and she became a size 16. It was then that she began loving her body.

What captured our attention was Sturino’s recreation of celebrity outfits, which she posts on her Instagram. Some of the celebrities she’s done are Meghan Markle, Chrissy Teigan, Emma Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, and Jennifer Aniston.
