COOTD PRETTY IN PINK

If you pay any attention to my twitter you saw this already.
If you don't pay any attention to my twitter...
Well you suck.

Just kidding!
But really, you should be paying attention to my twitter.
It'll make you smile.
I make me smile.
My twitter makes me smile...
It's like a smile-fest over there (on my twitter)!

Saying twitter that many times made my head a little bit fuzzy, not gonna lie.
Now the word just sounds weird.
Twitter.
Sorry.

Getting back to my OOTD:

I wore my LC Lauren Conrad Henley Blouse Set for Kohls today during my Sunday outing.
I adventured to the movies.
I thoroughly enjoyed Resident Evil: After Life.
But that's just me.
I heart zombies :)
They make me smile--like my twitter will make you smile--okay I'm done now.

Back to da Outfit:

Top: LC Lauren Conrad for Kohls (on sale for $30 purchase here)

SHOPPING HAUL [a bit delayed]

Alrighty... LONG OVER DUE but now I'm posting.

Yay!

Here is my shopping haul [on Tuesday] from Kohls, JC Penny, Target and Sephora:

a.n.a. Knit Back Tank

Picked up from Penny's in both colors...

[Originally $34 on sale and CLEARANCE for $5.10]

Went out Wednesday night for Ashlee's birthday.

Rocked my new shirt :)

[with a black Old Navy tank underneath, skinny jeans, a necklace from my bare style's first shop, and Madden Girl gladiators--SO COMFY--BUY THESE!]

Then I wore the cream colored on the on Friday night when I went out

[sorry, no pic for that one]

LC Lauren Conrad "Henley Set"

purchased from Kohl's

Previously mentioned here on da blog :)

[on sale from $40 to $29.99 then I scored 15% off on top of the sale]

Online Kohl's offers the top in two colors, but in [my] store they only carried the pink--I really like the black/purple combo that is available online.

Best part about this top, aside from the face that I picked up a MEDIUM...
It has POCKETS! [hollar]

Xhiliration Karima boots

purchased fromTarget

[Originally $49.99 on sale for $39.99]

Not a big sale, but a sale none-the-less

My ONLY complaint is that I might have difficulty fitting my jeans into these suckers.

My grande calves [thanks to rugby] take up a lot of room.

These boots might have to be paired with jean leggings [if I could ever find a pair that I like!!]

Bare Escentuals set

Purchased from Sephora

[$60]

Tonight was the first night that I used Bare Escentuals.

Apparently it helps reduce breakouts and works great with covering old scars.

I'm going to put it to the test.

I'll definitely be reporting my findings.

I also scheduled my first appointment with a dermatologist [for Sept. 21st]

Hopefully I can find some answers and get some clarity [haha] for my face.

I also scored two silk/polyester blend dressed from Target. One in black and the other in a deep burgundy color. I can't find them online, and the pictures that I had originally taken were accidently deleted. I plan on putting together a dress/boot combo outfit sometime soon. When I do I'll be sure to post the pictures here for all to see :) Both dresses were originally in the $25-$30 range. I got both for $11 each. Not too shabby.

So ends my Tuesday Shopping Haul...

--------------------------------------------------------------

Would you like to hear something really sad/bad?

I was cleaning my room tonight and found a Kohl's bag from a few weeks ago that I COMPLETELY forgot about.

Inside including the following:

LC Lauren Conrad Satin Top

[Originally $34 on clearance for $11ish]

The photo makes the top look white, but it is actually a nice cream color.

Also, I'm not a fan of the lace pocket [at all],

Instead, I plan on tucking the top into my higher waisted skirts.

I like that look better, especially with this shirt.

Also, I believe I grabbed this in a Medium as well. Not because it is blouse-y like the above top, but because my lady bits didn't quite fill in the Large like they should have. The fitted-ness of the Medium looked better, especially when I tucked it into a skirt.

apt. 9 Kint Ruana

[Originally $30 on sale for $15 when I purchased]

Of all of my purchases in this post, this item makes my mouth water the most.

I picked up one in black and one in gray.

This piece is not quite a shawl or a cardigan or a wrap.

It is a thing.

An awesome thing that fits in SO WELL with my style and my fall/winter wardrobe!

I am definitely excited about working this into my outfits!

Alright.

Now I'm done.

Promise :)

I was never really a fan of The Hills...
I'm not really sure why, I just never was.
Moving on:

I am more of a fan of Lauren Conrad. Smart girl really. Going from high school to being on a "reality show" to becoming a fashion--I don't want to say ICON, but maybe a Maven!?--to writing books (which I might add I have checked out from the library, yet I can't bring myself to read them yet--again, no clue why), to pairing with Kohl's and creating some not-so-bad pieces of clothing.

I've been eBay hunting and stalking a few pieces of her clothing for a few months now, waiting for a drop in price, or just until I feel ballsy enough to purchase them, and I've also been to Kohl's a few times to try on her pieces.

Not bad, really.

Thanks to the Budge Babe, I was afforded with a sneak peak of Lauren Conrad's new fall line for Kohl's. Let me just say that a few looks have me pretty excited for fall--if I already wasn't excited enough before--now I'm really excited to recreate some of the looks (with pieces I already have in my closet and of course with some new ones from her line).

Below are my favorites.

Enjoy:

This top! Great blouse! All of the sudden I've had a serious girl hard on for blouses.

Probably because of raiding my Uh-Uh's closet while moving her out, partly because the blouse look is a look I just friggin' love, and one that works well with my body type.
Really, I just like business-ing up an outfit.

Sue me, I want to work in a job that requires me to business-it-up and kick ass on a regular basis :)

This is one of my top picks...

Dress--CHECK // Boots--CHECK

Definitely an outfit I want to recreate! Definitely a pair of easy-going comfortable boots that I would like to own. I really love the look of a dress with boots. Casual, comfortable, can be sexy, or played down and simple. Dresses and boots together is always a fall look of mine.

Again, the blouse.

What can I say.

I like simple outfits.

I like simple colors.

I like blouses.

The End. :)

I don't know what it is about this outfit, but it is my FAVORITE of all of the looks! I want to go out, as soon as these pieces hit the store, and recreate this outfit to a T! I love it! It's flirty, feminine, easy/simple; which is definitely my style... I don't like to fuss too much or call crazy amounts of attention to myself with my clothing. I prefer what I'm wearing to be subtle. Easy. And I especially like to be comfortable.

I have a feeling that I can be very comfortable in this entire outfit!

The shoe part might be an issue, but I can figure that out later.

Um boots, again. This look is a Winner, winner, Chicken Dinner! for me! For me I would switch out the blazer for a cardigan. The cardigan--a necessary staple in my wardrobe--I have more cardigans than I need, but I love them so much!
This look is an easy recreate because I have it all in my aresenal! Well not the boots of course. I need this pair--see the comments above--and maybe a frillier tank/cami, but otherwise I've got this one done already.
Yay!

:)

Be sure to check out the Budget Babe's post for the rest of the Fall lookbook [Again, the the pictures above are just my personal favorites]. Heck, just check out her website in general. It is one of my daily reads!

SEQUIN ME PLEASE

I have this uncontrollable desire to sparkle...

It's a new thing.

This sparlkeydesire, will probably, most likely, never amount to anything, but still I just feel like shining sometimes.
It probably has to do with my Glee obsession and my (since childhood) obsession with all things musical.
Everyone is just... so... shiny, and sparkly, and bright, and happy.
It must be the reason why I like to watch musicals when I'm feeling blue, or when it's raining, or when I am in need of a good smile/laugh.

Back to my need to sparkle.
Lately I've been scoping out SEQUINS...

and by lately, I mean for the past year or so.

Seriously, look at my watched items in eBay, once every two or three months there will be a French Connection dress on my watch list... one that is COVERED in SEQUINS.
No, I don't end up purchasing it, why would I?

Where in the hell would I wear a sequin dress to?

Well, other than to wear it while singing along to a Chicago number or some other flashy musical piece while vacuuming the house... that dress would just end up in my closet--I know me!

I took my sparkle obsession a little too far this evening... I ended up on ShopStyle and found many pretty, shiny, sparkly dresses that I think I should have... OR at least be able to try on and take stupid pictures of myself in at some point in my life.

Hey!

Every girl needs a sequin/sparkly dress moment in her life!

No, PROM and Homecoming DO NOT COUNT.

With that said, I am choosing this evening to be mine... well at least mine in my imagination.

:)

One day I will get to wear sequins...

::sigh::
