Leslie Chatman ~
Guest Writer
Leslie Chatman has always loved fashion and beauty. She admittedly owns over 100 bottles of perfume, more than 35 pairs of jeans, a ton of shoes, handbags and a MAC Makeup Pro Case filled to the hilt. Leslie has spent many years working in the non-profit sector but has always aspired to be an entrepreneur. Since she was a child, she’s had a passion for jewelry. In the summer of 2009, she launched LunaTeal Jewelry and began authoring a blog, the fine art of jewelry, dedicated to all things related to the art of handcrafted jewelry.

Fashion and beauty have not always been Leslie’s first passion. She has a Bachelors Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis on Applied Social Issues in Psychology & Criminal Justice. She is currently working to obtain a Masters Degree in Counseling. Leslie loves being a Dallasite- born and raised. Giving back to her community is very important & she makes an effort to keep that at the forefront of everything she does.

Laurel Wright ~
Account Manager
Laurel Wright was born and raised in Gary, Indiana, and became interested in fashion and beauty at an early age. She observed her mother putting together great outfits and applying makeup, along with learning about all of the great designers through reading and attending art exhibits at places like the Art Institute of Chicago. She graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Advertising and Public Relations in 2008, and has experience working in event marketing, advertising sales, media relations, and talent booking. She will be moving to Los Angeles in the fall to continue her education at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), studying graphic design and art branding. Her calling is on the creative side of marketing and advertising, and she believes the graphic design will be a nice compliment to the advertising degree. In addition to her duties as an advertising account manager, Laurel is also the chair of the Fashion Wrap Up anniversary event, and will be contributing stories and blog posts on a monthly basis. In her free time, Laurel enjoys working out, spending time with family and friends, writing, and listening to Motley Crue.
