All That Glitters

It's November! Therefore, we are officially allowed to talk about Christmas without being called crazy people (Although I started a count-down weeks ago, only to have someone remark: "It's not even Halloween!")!

And it's not even my birthday (November 24th!)

But I start singing Christmas carols in October, much to the annoyance of my friends and colleagues. "All I Want For Christmas" by Mariah Carey is on repeat in my iPod. Besides, I already know what I'm getting for my birthday! (These awesome riding boots, a dress-form and clothes)

Anyway! I was surfing the web and came across http://www.ae.com/. I'm usually not too into their clothing except for comfy basics, but their jewelry this season is very pretty! I saw lots of grosgrain ribbon, pearls, hearts, and other feminine details. And at such amazing prices, it is perfect for your winter budget! So go pick up a few pieces that will give your winter outfits girly-flair, but not hurt your wallet:

Crest Pins

Rhinestone Key Necklace (hmm...inspired by the new Tiffany's line?)

Pearl layered chain necklace

Rhinestone bow pendant

Pretty gold and pink chandelier earrings

Faux-pearls laced with black ribbon gives it a cute Chanel-like touch

Pearl and bow bracelet...what's NOT to love?

Another pretty key pendant

Chain and pearl charm necklace (spices up a plain tee!)

Delicate layered chains and black ribbon and chiffon rosettes tie in the back with more black grosgrain!

Another pretty chain necklace

Rhinestone and pearl bow earrings

Bow charm earrings

Pretty!

Cheers to the holiday season's beginning!

Ruh-roh.

No, it's not taking me this long to compile a new post for you...I've just been busy! Senior year will mean a little hiatus from time to time (especially to rant in my other blog) but never fear, I'll be back realll soon (as in, expect a post in a day or two).

I'll try not to be lazy anymore.

Honest.

Preppy Profile: Lauren Conrad

I never thought I'd see the day when I gave two shakes of a lamb's tale about Lauren 'LC' Conrad. I really don't. I have never watched The Hills and I never will. It irks and confuses me...some of it is real, some of it is fake? Whatever. Not worth my time.

However, LC captured my interest with her new fashion line coming out. And as such, I have decided to feature some of her outfits captured by the paparazzi.

Her new self-titled line is coming out at Kohls, and while I wouldn't label it preppy, there are some nice feminine pieces that would be great for layering during fall. I can see some of it being sold at the Gap!

Here are some of my favourite Lauren Conrad outfits (not from her line)

She certainly has a classic feminine style!

At a Lacoste fashion show

This dress is very Charlotte, is it not?

Looking polished while shopping in a classic cardigan, dress and Chanel bag

Reminiscent of the Anna Sui Gossip Girl line?

Crisp oxford? Check. Classic dark wash jeans? Check. Chanel bag? Check. Manolo's? Check. Vitamin Water? Check!

Adorable navy and white polka-dot blouse!

Loving the ruffled tank (and of course, never seen without her Chanel!)

Looking cute and ready for Fall!

Black and White is always right! (So is Chanel!)

Cute and casual in a basic tee and high-waist skirt.

I love the pattern and texture of this top!

Flowy and very chic!

Stay tuned because Fall Fashion Madness is coming soon!!!

I'm Not Dead!

I have noticed that I am getting no comments recently! I know that I said I am busy, but I have spare so I have even more motivation to blog (procrastination, of course!) I also started a new blog. So please, stay with me! I have much more Lilly, Lacoste, Chanel, and Fashion Adventures to share with you!

Here is a pink and green picture to brighten your day! (I envy the girl who lives in this room!)
