Melanie has always loved the feeling of really connecting with people, whether that was in one-on-one conversations or in front of a camera. By the time she got to college, she knew that diving into Broadcast Communications and Theatre Arts was what she really wanted. After blogging for several years, she felt that there was really something missing - that connection with people on a more intimate level. She had been working on a bunch of different hosting and acting projects, and combining them all together made sense.
Her biggest tip is to find what makes you different and what makes you feel the most passionate. What do you love the most? What do you find yourself doing when you're not at work?

Re-branding from Lace and Combat Boots to Melanie Sutrathada several years ago felt like a natural transition because it no longer felt like a good match. It was time for an upgrade! LACB started as a very casual hobby and slowly but surely evolved into an online destination for the modern woman.

Melanie is obsessed with Crossroads Trading Co., Banana Republic, Anthropologie, GAP, ASOS and Old Navy.
The 619, also known as San Diego, CA. The beautiful weather, palm trees and Mexican food have ruined her. It's tough to find that combination of amazing-ness anywhere else in the world! Melanie also lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for four years and now resides in New York City.
Melanie graduated with a double major in Broadcast Communications and Theatre Arts with a certificate in Creative Video.
Paris, 100%! The city is so romantic and filled with history. Pretty views and chocolate croissants? Yes, please.
Melanie is 5'4. She is almost always wearing a heeled boot or heels though, so she's really close to successfully tricking herself into being taller. It's only a matter of time, right? In terms of sizes, Melanie is usually a small or a 2/4. In jeans, she is a size 27.
One of Melanie's biggest passions is traveling! She's determined to go to five different cities or countries every year because she believes traveling is one of the most valuable things you can do no matter how young or old you are. Melanie is going to go ahead and also count eating as a hobby, because it really is one of her favorite things to do. When she is not eating, cooking or grocery shopping, Melanie is usually practicing yoga or in a contemporary dance class.
