Lauren Conrad: Style

Hey all! I just got through reading Lauren Conrad's new book "Style".


Lauren Conrad is an reality T.V. star/fashion designer/author (this girl just does it all!) with a unique sense of style many try to recreate. Her latest book is for all of you out there who, like myself, love Lauren's look. This book teaches us how "LC" achieves her laid-back yet glam California girl style! And let's be honest we're all dying to know the secrets to getting her beautiful beachy hair and perfect winged eye-liner! This 230 page style guide was such an fun and quick read I finished it in just 2 days! It is 11 short chapters with tons of photographs!

Lauren has an entire team of makeup artists, stylists, and hairdressers helping her achieve her fresh faced look. They also give some great tips in this book. Although Lauren Conrad has a team of people helping her, she has picked up some tricks of the trade along the road, which she is more than happy to share with us!

The chapter topics vary from how to pack a suitcase for a trip to how to style the perfect goddess braid in your hair. She talks about developing your own style and finding what you like and feel comfortable in rather than just what is trendy. The beauty and hair tips alone were enough for this book to be worth it for me. If you are interested in Lauren's style and how to emulate some of her hairstyles and makeup this book is definitely worth it. It is even on sale on amazon.com for $11 (+S&H) or at your local Borders/Barnes &Noble.

How to shop UK fashion in the U.S.

We all know European fashion is way ahead of fashion here in the U.S., but when most people think of wearing European clothing they think of outrageous avante garde style. While this can definitely be the case on some of the runways in Milan and Paris. There is a way to dress in chic European fashion while living in the United States. The UK has some of my favorite online shopping sites! These all ship to the U.S. and are definitely worth checking out.

TOPSHOP.COM
This site can get a little pricey but they have some really cute clothes. Although, I love it for there shoes, bags, and accessories.

BOOHOO.COM
You may have to scroll through a few pages before you actually find something you like, but the deals on this website are unbeatable. As for the quality of the merchandise, it's very similar to very Forever 21. So I guess you get what you pay for.

MISSSELFRIDGE.COM
I LOVE the dresses on this site....they also have a petite department for those on the smaller side, as well as a great accessory department.



ASOS.COM
This one is probably my favorite. They have the best selection in clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories. It is a bit pricey though.

The only down side to shopping from the UK is the shipping is slightly more than you would have to pay in the United States.The other big pain is that the value of the U.S. dollar does not go as far in Europe. $1.00 American is worth a 1.50 Euro. This may not seem like a big difference but it really means to get a top that's worth 50.00 Euro, You'll have to pay $75.00 American. That being said you may be able to find some great deals on the sites above. I would also suggest finding a friend or family member who is also interested in ordering something from the site that way you can split the cost of shipping. Happy Shopping Everyone! :)
