Inspiration: Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad is a well known beauty and fashion icon around the world. She sets a great example for girls and women everywhere. We all know her from the Hills on MTV. We got to see her fashion and beauty change and her opportunity to expand her idea of fashion when working for Teen Vogue. I remember growing up and watching the show wanted to have that experience in beauty and fashion like she did. Lauren has come a long way from the Hills and her job at Teen Vogue.

Her many accomplishments:

  • L.A. Candy book series
  • The Fame Game book series
  • Lauren Conrad Beauty
  • Lauren Conrad Style
  • Paper Crown, fashion by Lauren Conrad
  • LC Lauren Conrad, fashion line at Khol'
  • Her own website/blog, http://www.laurenconrad.com/
  • Her own YouTube channel that has over 2million views



Lauren Conrad is a great inspiration to all off us.............................so follow her on Facebook and Twitter and make sure you get the chance to go out and purchase her books and watch her creative videos on YouTube.

Let's Talk Europe.................


We all know that Europe is the center of the fashion empire (not just New York). There is Paris, London, and Milan. When traveling to France last year in the early spring, I noticed that the French girls like to be comfy and cozy but also very polished and put together.  Coming back from France my style changed and I was inspired by the fact that you can look so fashion forward but still very comfortable.
 
 
Tights are very poplar especially when the weather is in that cold phase in the beginning of spring. Experiment with different patterns and colors, not just your typical black.

Scarves make a big statement and will keep you very warm through out the cold seasons.

 Vintage skirts, A-line, are very popular in Europe and look great over a fun pair of tights.

In Europe a majority of the girls have one pea coat in a neutral color that they can wear with almost every outfit, every day.

H&M $39.95
Having a cute pair of gloves that will keep your hands warm is always a must in Europe or in any places that are fairly chilly.

H&M $12.95
In Europe you do a lot of walking, so heels aren't exactly ideal. Shoes that are comfortable for walking for long distances, and that are very fashion forward are a cute pair of flats or oxfords.

For attending school and walking around town in Europe is spacious neutral bag in key.

Target $39.99

Update Your Makeup for Fall

Fall is all about incorporating the deeper and warmer colors into your makeup. Personally I love reds and browns in the fall.

LANCÔME - Smoky EyeLiner in Black Coffee


NYX Tri Eyeshadow (in the woods)

Rimmel London 050 Paradise

Tarte LipSurgence Lip Luster in Fever-red

Today's Color

I am getting in the Halloween mood, so I decided to paint my nails with Fantasy Makers nail polish for Wet n Wild. I grabbed this at the drugstore since it looked very Halloween. This color is transparent, so I suggested putting this color over black nail polish to bring out the red and purple glitter in this polish.

Small and simple necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings in your typical colors of gold, rose gold, silver, and copper (bronze). Also this season monogram necklaces are making a big hit as well as the cross.
