lc lauren conrad – The Sol Compass

Cozy in Camel

You guys might recognize this sweater from last year; I had it one repeat in real life and featured it on the blog here. This is definitely my favorite turtleneck I own. It somehow manages to keep my neck warm while still being much more fitted and slim than other turtlenecks tend to be. I love it so much that I broke it out a little early this year to pair with my new favorite heels, and will probably go back in for another color this year!

Are there any items on your Black Friday shopping lists I need to scoop up for the winter? Let me know in the comments below!

Outfit Details – Sweater: J.Crew (last seen here) | Jeans: Lucky Brand | Heels: LC Lauren Conrad (last seen here and here) | Lips: MAC Lipstick in ‘On Hold’, Buxom Lip Polish in ‘Peyton’ | Nails: OPI Washington DC ‘Inside the ISABELLEtway’

Thank you for reading! Have a great weekend!

Caramel Apple

Happy Monday! I’ve been loving these Lucky Brand boyfriend jeans this fall. Embracing jeans with heels while the weather still allows me to bare my ankles! Here’s a fun fall color palette from over the weekend. Did you guys get to do any fun fall activities over the weekend?!

Thanks so much for reading! Hope you all have a great week!

Steps in Leopard

Leopard is indisputably one of the hottest trends this season. If you’re hesitant to embrace the boldness in large quantities, than a pop of print on your accessories is the perfect solution. I love my leopard print flats and scarf and have them on regular rotation, so it was really only a matter of time before I added a pair of heels into the mix. These LC Lauren Conrad heels are incredibly comfortable – I actually have them in both burgundy and leopard – and you cannot beat the price! They also come in nude, black, gray, and navy so if you’re in the mood for *any* kind of dress heel LC has got you covered!

Light & Bright

At the first sign of warm weather I dove headfirst into skirts and dresses; forgetting that early spring generally just means jeans and a top without a jacket. Mother Nature was sure to remind me how overanxious I had been this past weekend, bringing the temps way back down away from the low seventies I had been enjoying so much a few weeks ago (sad face). My coping method has been to keep the jeans and sweaters going strong but incorporating more seasonally appropriate colors like this blush and white combo. Nothing is as good a mood booster as a light and bright outfit on a sunny (albeit chilly) day.

Thanks for reading! Hope your week is off to an excellent start!

Blue Collar

I am constantly searching for new ways to wear my every day essentials, and this outfit combines five of them! Chances are you already have most of these items in your closet and can put this together with your own personal twist (I also love it with a solid skirt and textured tights!)

This H&M bag is the perfect work bag! It can hold so much, and I love the structure that keeps its form no matter how much I throw in it! My friend actually has it in both black and gray- it’s really that good!

Have a great week!

Cinderella

Cinderella has been on my mind consistently lately with the new live-action movie just released this weekend! My younger brother was in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella this past weekend, and I went to see the Disney movie for a fun girls’ night last night with my mom and sister! The entire movie was absolutely transcendent, from the set and screenplay to casting and acting, but I had a particular soft spot for the breathtaking costumes and majestic makeup! With so much Cinderella on my brain, I’ve been noticing shades of pale blue everywhere I go! It’s definitely been popping up a lot this spring, so I felt inspired to whip out this peasant blouse from Francesca’s that I’ve had for about two years now! The color is right on trend with pastels for this spring, and perfect to wear to the movie tonight!

Outfit Details- Blouse: Francesca’s | Jeans: Lucky Brand | Earrings: Bauble Bar | Purse: Urban Outfitters | Boots: Urban Outfitters

I also love this bucket bag, bauble necklace, striped skirt, scalloped dress, pleated skirt, lace top, leather pencil skirt, and lace sheath dress!

As a certifiable Lauren Conrad fanatic, I’m personally obligated to tell you how much I adore her Cinderella collection for Kohl’s. The tulle skirt and feminine dresses (in pale blue hues, of course!) are just to die for.

In other Cinderella-related news, you are probably all too aware of the fact that MAC released their own take on “the most iconic Disney princess of all”- a limited edition Cinderella colour collection! It comes in the prettiest pearlized lavender blue packaging and gold lined boxes! The magical and sparkling collection has sold out pretty much everywhere- I called about a dozen MAC/Macy’s stores trying to hunt down the “Royal Ball” lipstick with no success. However I was able to snag the other lipstick “Free as a Butterfly“, a lipglass “Happily Ever After“, and a gel liner “Little Black Bow“. I walked into the store not even thinking about the liner, as I had my mind dead set on the lipstick, but the saleswoman convinced me to try it on and I fell in love with it on the spot! I have always shied away from liquid and gel liners in the past, but this one has convinced me to give more of them a try in the future! MAC’s “Fluidline” can even double as an eyeshadow just by switching up your brush, which creates a really cool monochrome look. The “Free as a Butterfly” lipstick was much lighter than I’m used to wearing, but with some persuasion (and a strategic lip liner pencil) I think we managed to create a really cool look with just the right amount of princess shimmer on top!
