About

I am as unique as my name. Lhoren, pronounced Loren is my birth-given name, and though I often hated it growing up, I have learned to love it’s uniqueness. For example, I never have trouble pinning down a user name of choice. I remember creating an Instagram account years ago, and like everyone, I wanted an interesting handle that was fun and identifiable to my personality. I am a strong and independent woman and I love fashion from couture to street wear. My all-time favorites are contemporary designers, especially those with a heavy Japanese streetwear vibe like Rick Owens, Maison Martin Margiela, Yohji Yamamoto, Junya Watanabe, and Comme des garcons. What is one thing these iconic names all have in common? A lot of black. Black quickly became my identifier early on, and my friends and family would make jokes and comments about how I was always in black, thus Lhoren Wears Black was born.

Speaking of being born, Houston, Texas is my hometown, I am a dog mom to an adorable toy blue-merle Aussie named Kai, the business development director for a global occupational medicine company by day, and a reader, spin class junkie, world traveler, amateur interior decorator, and Houston Rockets fan. For the most part I am just an average 30-something trying to live her best life. This blog will be full of my travel experiences and tips, fashion favorites, and all things that I find interesting enough to talk about. Hope you enjoy following along! xxx
