The fiancee of Jeff Bezos have been  promoting her new book, The Fly Who Flew To Space , and told The View hosts on Friday that although she considers her style a "little sexy," she looks to famous Latina stars including Eva Longoria , Salma Hayek , Jennifer Lopez, Sofía Vergara for fashion guidance: "They really embrace their culture when they dress and so I think, it’s just in me."

Lauren also spoke about how one teacher changed her life in college, helping her to get diagnosed with dyslexia.

"Yesterday I was at the bookstore with my son who’s here and he’s like, ' Mom, can’t you get through that conversation without crying? ' And I go, 'I don't know what it is, every time I tell the story, I cry and I don’t understand, it’s something in me,' and then his girlfriend who’s also here goes, 'Oh, you’re probably nervous. That’s why,'" Lauren began.

"And so I stopped and I thought about it and …I looked at my friend Elsa who’s right here, and I go, 'Oh my god, I figured it out. I figured why I keep crying. It’s the eight-year-old girl that thinks she’s dumb and the 54-year-old woman hugging her and saying it’s going to be OK . and that’s what this book is about."

Her children's book, which was released on September 10, is "about a little fly who has dyslexia and is just not so good in school and wanders and is curious and ends up seeing the world".
