Check out this EXCLUSIVE fashionable feature with American middle blocker Lauren Gibbemeyer.
She is currently playing in the Italian League with Pomì CASALMAGGIORE and in a few weeks they will host the prestigious CEV Champions League Final 4.
When it comes to my style, I would have to call mine sporty/casual. This, however, is just a fancier way of saying I live in lululemon with sprinkles of jeans, loose tops, and the occasional summer dress.
My color palate is mostly filled with black, greys, and beige which makes it easy to pair with accessories and jackets with a little more color.
When it comes to jewelry, I don’t usually buy a lot for myself. However, I cherish the pieces I have received as gifts and that have real meaning to me. Some of my favorite pieces include a ring I received from my translator when I played in Japan, simple thoughtful necklaces, and my chunky brown Michael Kors watch.
Some of my other favorite things in my closet are my scarves, my nude Vince Camuto heels, and my boyfriend jeans I found at Zara in Italy because they actually fit a woman with muscular legs for once!
My favorite gadgets include the whole Apple family (phone, iPad, Mac computer), my wireless beats, portable speakers to blast in the locker room, and my growing abundance of kitchen appliances to feed my baking addiction!
My most used apps on my phone include: Buddify- my daily meditation app, Shazam, Duolingo- to continue learning Italian and Portuguese,
Triposo- a great app to use when traveling and you want to see what your city has to offer!
Favorite dress: my super comfy color block summer dress from Anthropologie
Favorite casual shoes: converse, Nikes, Havaiana flip flops
Favorite fancy shoes: all of my Vince Camuto heels and booties
Favorite vb shoes: recently got hooked on ASICS Cumulus. Can’t beat the comfort!
Favorite workout shoes: Nike Flyknit Lunar
My favorite memorabilia are my photos. Before heading overseas, I always print a bunch of my favorite photos to decorate my apartment for the season. Having the faces of the people I love surround me every day makes me happy and feel more at home.
Favorite purse: my black leather Longchamp bag.
Favorite going out bags: either a slouchy clutch or my chain cross body bag
Favorite books: I love all different kinds of books ranging from creepy thrillers to emotional sap stories. When it comes to thrillers, my favorite book I recently read was Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. On the other hand, a book that had a huge impact on me was Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. Grab the Kleenex!!
Favorite perfume: Flowerbomb by Viktor&Rolf
