Happy Sunday everyone! Today Kevin and I went to Rice Village to try and find a coat for him for our trip. We didn't have any luck at any of the stores we checked out, so we'll probably have to try the Galleria next week. It's more difficult to find stylish, heavier coats here in Houston since it doesn't get that cold here, even in the winter.
Today it was SO hot out. I mean like you could lay out by the pool hot...and it's nearly November!
Banana Republic was having a 20% off everything in the store sale today so we got a few things there and Kev got a new sweater at Express. Here's what I got:

Banana Republic was having a 20% off everything in the store sale today so we got a few things there and Kev got a new sweater at Express. Here's what I got:
Black dress from Zara- I actually bought this yesterday but forgot to include it. It's a perfect length for work and very soft and comfy.
Bath and Body works Wallflowers. I absolutely love these. They keep the house smelling awesome. They were on sale 2 packs for $20 plus I got 20% off of my purchase using a coupon.
I love this satin top from Banana Republic's Monogram Collection. It was on sale for $31.99 and I got an additional 30% off. I love tops that have detailing at the neckline like this. It almost acts as an accessory, no necklace needed!
Yesterday at Sephora I tried on a bit of this glittery gold nailpolish and I thought- it's perfect for the holidays! I like to do my nails Lorraine-style and just paint glitter on one nail (it is a PAIN to get off.) So I picked this up today. I also ordered some stuff online because Sephora is having their Friends & Family sale (20% off everything on the site, use code FF2010).
I stopped by at MAC and picked up a Mineralize skin finish natural in Medium-Plus. I have seen a lot of bloggers and YouTubers using these powders and although my MAC Studio Fix is my Holy Grail powder, I thought I'd give this a go. If I don't like it, I can return it (I was not aware MAC had a return policy like this.)
Here is is compared to my Studio Fix in C3 (on the right). The C3 is definitely a bit more yellow. I tend to enjoy yellow-toned foundations because they give a brightness to my skin.
I snapped some shots of my favorite parts of Lauren Conrad's Style book
and wanted to share them here. While I didn't think the book provided any ground-breaking information, it did give me a few cute ideas. My favorite feature was the Little Black Dress five different ways: (click to enlarge)
I really love the black lace slip under the dress in the first photo (from the left) I have been trying to find one online ever since I saw it with no luck! I think it's great to have that one fabulous black dress in your closet that can really be styled so many different ways. Every woman needs one of those dresses!
Here are a few of my other favorite shots from the book:
Ohh a PINK bag!
Her hair and makeup are always so pretty and I love how she sticks to a signature look. I feel I'm the same way. I know how I like my hair and makeup to look, and I stick with a look that works for me. It's nice to try different things, but my hair has been every color in the book and I've tried different hair lengths...I've finally found a look I love (my current) and I'm sticking to it!
Lauren shows how a dress goes from day (office) to night (dinner)
Dear gorgeous rosette dress, I am in love with you. That is all.
Bottom line- if you love Lauren Conrad, I think you will like this book. The information isn't ground-breaking or something you haven't heard before, but it has great photos and great tips on things like organizing your closet, shopping better and even packing.
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!
xoxo,
Veronika.
