Style Icon : Lauren Conrad

So I'm not sure where Lauren Conrad found her inspiration, but she is forever inspiring me when it comes to style. Although I incorperate a more casual country into my style as well... she is endlessly chic in her choices, and I envy her easy elegance. I will be purchasing her book on style, just to see what tips she might have to offer. Here's some eye candy to explain my love.

GREAT haul this weekend!!!!

I went shopping this weekend because I made a little extra cash selling some old stuff. I had 150.00 to spend. Here's what I got:

All three of these plus a slouchy light weight black sweater from the Gap

Dresses Dresses Dresses!!!

This dress : http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=whatsnew_all&product_id=2074387860&Page=1 from Forever 21 has such a fun feel to it. It combines a wide array of colors in a splashed paint design but retains an almost floral look. It can be dressed up, or worn casually to any summer occasion.


I might actually have to go try this dress : http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/juniors/dressesanddressyapparel/dresses/PRD~628893/Heart+and+Soul+Geometric+Halter+Maxi+Dress.jsp
From Kohl's on. I have been in love with the long dress idea. I have heard they can make you appear taller/longer. Hmmmm

I actually have this dress from Old Navy. It is really light and flowy. It's perfect for when I want something comfy that I can still wear out to dinner. http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=41725&vid=3&pid=696779&scid=696779042 It can also be purchased in stripes and other solid colors.


The fun thing about summer, is the dresses can be worn almost anywhere, and you can get away with it. Weddings don't require some fancy, almost a bridesmaid dress. You can wear florals, and bright colors, and cute shoes and it is perfectly acceptable. I love it!

Long Time no Post

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

I'm not quite sure why I dropped off the face of the earth, but I'm back with lots of fun new fashion ideas. I've re-vamped my own wardrobe a bit, and am still working on it and tweaking it. I'm combining country looks with a little bit of a rock feel and some serious girlishness. I'm enjoying dresses this summer, as well as classic shorts combos, light weight plaid shirts, and some seriously fun shoes. Fun finds to follow.

Need to get caught up....

Currently I am in love with:

The Lily Pad - they're a local store that sells Vera Bradley (there are limited prints that I'm in love with), as well as a wide array of fun little trinkets. They've recently gotten these awesome scrabble style metal stands with metal frame letters that have unique images within each letter, all in black and white. They spell things like I love you, or inspire, or dream. I also am in love with some of the coffee mugs they have in there.

This vest from Buckle

And I'm loving anything and Everything Plaid. I'm really glad that it's in a bit of a trend mode right now b/c normally I have to travel all the way to Orlando to find western style plaid shirts... now here they are in every store. Makes me all warm.

sweaters I'm looking at... what about you?

Sorry for the absence, fun things

Hello all, I apologize for my absence, we had a death in the family recently and I've been in and out of town and mostly getting on the computer long enough to do homework and disappear again, but I am back and in the mood for some new things, how about you? I'm trying to prep up for the winter season, I have a grand total of one half sweater, one long sleeved "cardigan" if you will, one heavy sweater that does not fit, one Gator jacket that is a bit big... but is fun when I'm in a slouchy wear mood, and one long sweater that does not fit. Isn't that just GRAND... nothing cute for winter. Oh and one half sleeve turtleneck.... which what good will THAT do me?

So... I'm looking at sweaters tonight and will be posting options for you all to view in a bit.
