about

I'm Lauren Tien, and this is Pearls Poppies Pinkies Up. A blog intended to bring design, thrifting, diy, travel, simple beauty, and other bits of lovely all together in one place! I am so happy that you stopped by. And please, stay a while!

I live in Denver with my husband our pound pup. We've rooted in Colorado for a year now and before that met and fell in love in California, where I was born and raised. 

Design, thrifting, and a love for vintage have always been in my roots. My dad was a set designer, and as a little girl, I tagged along on trips to prop houses and antique shops, deepening my love for the old and the rusty. I would help decorate his sets at a young age, and that has stuck with me to my core. I believe that creativity and a pair of eager hands are the best tools. I love flea markets and miss the Pasadena Rose Bowl Swap Meet dearly. My personal style is classic American, meets the outdoors with bits from world travels, all mixed with hints of vintage.

Writing is another of my passions. Along with Pearls Poppies Pinkies Up, I write monthly for Darling Magazine: The Art of Being a Woman. Most of my pieces fit into the niche of DIY, travel, and friendship--all part of who I am as woman. I feel honored and blessed to be a part of the Darling Movement and community.
