In keeping with my current need for anything non-wintery, I just wanted to share some pictures of Ms. Conrad. She has been wearing a lot of the citrus color lately, and I am loving it! It's a breath of fresh air.

She looks like an old-Hollywood glamour girl.





I'll just wear what she's wearing please.


It's no secret that I love Lauren Conrad. Forget Laguna Beach and The Hills, this girl has style. She's just naturally pretty. And I want to raid her closet. And I want her clothes. I still love my neutrals, but I think from now on, i'll follow her lead and keep an eye out for yellow.

***By the way girls, I hope you don't mind me doing a lot of fashion posts lately. I still love my makeup, but I have been following various fashion bloggers, and I can't get enough. I find myself buying more clothes (and shoes) and buying less beauty products. But I still love both! And I want to continue blogging about both! Variety really is the spice of life. If that's ok with you ;) ***

Look at this M.A.C Summer collection posted on http://www.temptalia.com/:









I just died. And this is heaven. Not only do I love the bronze, coral, green, and pink makeup...but how cute is the beachy packaging? And i'm never really that into a product's packaging. The collection launches late in May, and I have a feeling I am going to splurge as my graduation present to myself ;)

I ventured to Orange County last weekend, the sole reason being I wanted to buy some shoes from DSW. It's unfortunate that it is over an hour away from the town where I live, but as soon as I walked into the MASSIVE warehouse, I knew the drive had been totally worth it. A real shoe addict's dream: rows upon rows of heels, flats, wedges, and boots. Peep-toe, round toe, pointy toe. Black patent leather, red satin, bright blue. Any shoe a girl could ever want I swear can be found at DSW. I definitely plan on going back. It's probably a good thing I don't have one in my area though, or else I would be broke! Not to mention, I wouldn't have enough room for them in my closet. Here are the two pairs that I bought. I would have gotten more, but because I wear a size 6 1/2  or 7, many of the others I had my eye on were sold out in my sizes.

Nude patent pumps, Steve Madden. I have been searching everywhere for nude heels! They make my short legs look much longer. I have a feeling I'm going to wear them to death in the summer.



Black, suede and leather, round toe pumps by Kenneth Cole Reaction. These are so comfortable. And I just love the chain detailing on the toe. I die for these.


 
So cute =)


Just to show you what I mean about not having enough room for shoes in my closet...as well as not having enough room for clothes either! Ugh, I so wish I had a large walk-in! One day...

I try to keep everything organized, but it still looks a bit messy. If you guys have any storage ideas, let me know! The boxes on the right contain shoes I don't wear very often so maybe I'll get rid of some.


I probably won't be able to post again until Sunday, so have a happy weekend! Thanks for reading ♥

Lately, I have been craving softly colored nail polish. Don't get me wrong, I still love my dark purples, wines, and greys. In fact, I am currently wearing O.P.I.'s "Lincoln Park at Midnight" which is a beautiful slightly shimmery dark purple...the cousin of the infamous "Lincoln Park After Dark." There's just something so undeniably sultry about dark nails that I have grown to really appreciate. There used to be a time where I only wore pale pinks and nudes. That was it. Well I am happy to say that I have ventured over to the dark side, and it couldn't be better! Except, I'm kind of growing tired of staring down at dark nails, made even darker in contrast to my pale skin. I think I'm just sick of Winter in general! I want warm sun, bronzey makeup, and a tan! Oh, and I also want to start moving away from the darkside and into the light. I am hoping these three Essie nail polishes will help move things along. They were buy two, get one free at Trade Secret. One is called Luscious Lips, which is a very sheer peachy-pink. The second is called Neo-whimsical and it is such a pretty lilac color with just a hint of pink. The third is actually my favorite. It is called Van D'Go and it is the prettiest true peach polish I have ever seen.

Left to Right: Luscious Lips, Neo-Whimsical, Van D'Go. I know the first and third look the same but they are actually very different. Van D'Go is much more peach and also more opaque in person while Luscious Lips is very sheer and is more pink in comparison.

I plan on doing NOTD posts with these pretties, so stay tuned!
