Lauren Kent

Born and raised in Dallas, Lauren Kent loves her town — although she spent her college life and some years afterward trying to be anywhere else. With her degree in journalism from the University of Texas, Lauren had writing stints in Australia, New York City and Hawaii before she made her way back home to tackle the bourgeoning culture and fashion scene of the Big D. When she’s not covering top events or luxury items for Haute Living, Lauren is taking her Pomeranian Sacsha to White Rock Lake or cheering on the Cowboys at the MAT.
