Too many women silently struggle with their wardrobes, unsure what fits, what flatters, or what even feels like them. The good news? You don’t have to stay in that place of frustration. When you understand how your body was built, your unique Body Architecture, you unlock a new way of approaching style. One rooted in authenticity, clarity, and confidence.
The difference between staying stuck in uncertainty and stepping into your personal design style? It all begins with action and a guide who knows the way.
STYLE doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by design.
Style that lasts isn’t trend-based, it’s truth-based. There’s a sequence to success when it comes to personal design, and Lauri James Smith has mapped it out through decades of experience in interior design, personalized color training, and wardrobe consulting.
When you apply timeless design principles with a Spirit-led approach, you get more than a great outfit, you get lasting transformation.
Body Architecture™ is the philosophy Lauri developed after years of working with both spaces and wardrobes. By using the same elements and principles that bring harmony to a room, she helps women bring harmony to what they wear.

"After being on a wild job hunt for the second time in 6 months, it really reinforces the thankfulness I have for your mentoring. All of my interviews went so smoothly, and I had no problems with presenting myself. I hope that you are continuing that kind of training with your current students? It’s worth so much!"

"I found what Lauri expected from us in branding ourselves was what was expected in the professional world once I got out of her program.
This may sound arrogant, but I am very successful now."

"Starting my career I hardly have any experience and no substantial skills to offer so that least I can do is present myself well, thanks for teaching me that."
