| Lauren Conrad Style? |
Okay, lets look at Lauren Conrad's boring "fashion" collection.
I've seen cuter dresses in Target's maternity department (p.s. I am not pregnant). I mean, sure. Flowy, drapy dresses were all the rage in Spring '07. This spring fitted, less speculation-inducing dresses and tops are going to more prevalent.
Items in the collection are named after Conrad's "The Hills" costars -- the Whitney Dress, Audrina Dress, Nichole Skirt. How very middle school. If I were a fashion designer, I would SO name items in my collection after my BFFs.
Besides being boring and frumpy, these dresses are not cheap. The Audrina Dress pictured is $150. Um... most any girl who watches The Hills knows that Forever 21 has a dress that looks just like this and costs under $30.
I mean, I've got to admit that its cool that LC actually WEARS her collection in public -- Hello SJP, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (Walmart collection), and Jessica Simpson (did you know she's designing for Fashion Bug? Did you know that people actually SHOP at Fashion Bug).Labels: beauty, clothing, fashion, Lauren Conrad, style |

| What The Heck Is Fafi? |
MAC cosmetics has a new line of cosmetics out called Fafi. I, um, don't really get it.
So, its made up of cute shades (think peaches, bright pinks) of lucious, creamy shadows, sparkling glosses and dramatic liners. The colors are totally fab.
What I don't get is the Fafi name and the corresponding Fafinette dolls. Sure, its "so very French," but the name doesn't immediately make one think of beauty, and the packaging doesn't seem to accomplish what its aiming to do.
But... I'd buy it on the principle that MAC is constantly recreating delicious colors and this is no exception.Labels: beauty, cosmetics, Fafi, MAC, style |

| My Crush Of the Day |
Today, I have been listening to the Juno soundtrack all damned day.
Its catchy, pop-y, funny and sweet without being cloying. I know I don't typically try to give advice on music, but this is my favorite CD thus far in 2008.
If you've seen the movie, the soundtrack will fill your guts with a warm and cozy feeling of happiness.Labels: bored, enjoy, Fun, juno, music, soundtrack |

| Nail Polish That Doesn't Scare Me |
For some reason, I always hesitate before applying nail polish. Its not the shine or color that makes me reconsider, its more the thought of those chemicals. I mean, c'mon, touline? formeldahyde? BHD? Gross, scary and not things I should be in contact with on a regular basis. Same to you, BTW.
So... how excited was I to find ZOYA -- they make a polish free from these chemicals. Even better -- they are cheap at about $6 a pop.
The colors are lucious -- especially this Blissful collection. Sweet, springy and serene without being too "bridal."Labels: beauty, makeup, nail polish, touline-free |

Airbrush cosmetics kind of rock. If they didn't, celebs wouldn't have their shelac-like foundation applied this way.
These stick-on eyeshadow colors, really don't rock.
I mean, I get that some people aren't super good at applying their eyeshadow in ways that are complimentary to their skintone. But most everyone looks good with a single neutral shade swept across their lids.
If you feel compelled to spend $6 per makeup application, head over to your local MAC counter and have one of their artists apply your makeup for free. Watch them as they do it, paying special attention to motions and the brushes they use. Then, use that money you would have spent on eyeshadow stickers (say 1 pack of 5 stickers -- which runs about $30) and buy a few new shadows, or a shadow and a brush and voila!
You get more makeup applications for your money, and you'll be able to switch it up with new colors as your cosmeticapplying-confidence grows.Labels: beauty, cosmetics, eyeshadow, life, makeup |

| Organization is Hot |
Who knew organization could be so hot?
Russell + Hazel has this absolutely adorable slick black (also available in white) expandable 8-pocket file tote.
If you're running a business or planning a wedding or just need to be organized on the go, this little baby is perfect for you.
I love it, and we actually accented the black and white with super cute black, white and gray file folders for storables. Now, we can just slap on the labels and start planning!Labels: fashion, feminine, file, organization, style, trend, trendy |

| Beautiful beautious |
I must apologize. I didn't find the time to send you love and fashion from the sandy beaches of Mexico. I do apologize for ignoring my computer for days and days, but I don't know many people who would put down a frozen margarita to type.
Anyway, here's a lovely little number so you can "wow" your coworkers or friends at those holiday parties!
Ted Baker makes a stunning little number in silk. This warm silk dress will love a tan, but unless you are uber-pale, I think it'll even forgivingly warm nearly any skin tone. The sash balance the dense (but beautiful) detailing on the bottom.
This beau-t-ous dress would look fantastic with black tights and flats, or marvelous with an open-toed pump (like those little HollyWould stunners at Target.com) and bare legs.Labels: beauty, dress, entertaining, fashion, holiday party, style |

| Purrrrrr-fection! |
I am waiting in anticipation for this weekend, and the launch of the new MAC Holiday 2007 line! Thankfully, I'll be attending the Antiqutease event on Sunday, scooping up my new favorite items while snacking on savouries and fantastic cocktails. MAC never lets me down.
What do I covet most? Royal Assets Eyeshdow palette in "Smokey" (far right) as I've been looking for the perfect gray shadow with which to line my lashes.
Also, I love, love, love the Keepsake Kit. What a perfect little "to go" with Shimmertime Pigment, Sunbasque Blush, Glamoursun Lipglass, Nightsky Soft Sparkle Pencil. Toss in your favorite Mascara (Hello, Supernova) and you're good to go, on the go! And... that fantastic little tweed pouch is perfection!
So ladies, pencil in a little time to head to MAC -- you don't want to miss this collection (believe me, you can't wait for your holiday bonus, much of this collection will be gone by Thanksgiving!). |

| Hello Gorgeous! |
I think I have died and gone to heaven. So, I love Forever 21 for their inexpensive, fashionable frocks. And I adore White House Black Market for their beautiful styling. My tastes change so frequently that I have trouble spending over $200 for a dress I may only wear once.
Well, my prayers have been answered! Forever 21's parent company launched a new concept, Twelve By Twelve. Inexpensive, luxe and downright modish, this line is exudes grace, style and confidence.
I can't wait to wear one of these sexy dresses with ankle boots and maybe a pair of black gloves! |

| Kenzie? Kensie? Does It Matter? |
The clothing line "Kenzie" is changing their name. Now, there is no reason I can think of to shed a perfect name like "Kenzie" in favor of something wrong, like "Kensie."
I have no idea why they are making this stupid change, but know that I will not rest until I get to the bottom of this foolish game.
