Ladies, it is with great excitement and an overwhelming urge to max out my credit card, that I present you the LC Lauren Conrad Runway Collection for Kohls. This collection just launched with a live-stream runway show on the Kohls website from New York Fashion Week.
Now I've seen some a sneak preview of some of the pieces in the collection prior to the launch, but having the entire look book available online...I just feel overwhelmed! There are so many chic and sophisticated pieces to choose from and just not enough days in the month to wear them all.
Take a peek at some (more like 16!) of my favorite looks from the LC Lauren Conrad Runway Collection.
If you couldn't tell from my intro, I am in love with this collection. The pieces are very transitional from summer to fall and even winter. Florals, lace, chiffon, fringe and suede are the key accents to the pieces showcased during LC's fashion show on Thursday.
What I especially like about this collection is how feminine and chic the apparel and accessories are, just like these looks stepped off the runway which seems sitting when you consider the collection's name. Prices range from $20 - $299 which is a bit steep if you're familiar with Lauren's other line at Kohls, LC by Lauren Conrad. However, anyone that shops at Kohls knows that prices for LC's line are always discounted and there are always store promotions and coupons available for additional savings. With these discounts, the line is approximately between $20 and $175. Still not as affordable as her other line, but within budget for designer apparel.
Naturally I couldn't resist jumping at the chance to get my hands, or well in this case, body, in some of these looks. What did I order to start my own Runway collection?
Faux Suede Moto Jacket
High-Low Bow Top
High-Waisted Soft Pants

Normally if I saw a mouse I'd be the first one to jump on the table screaming. But this mouse has me running to the store to revamp my wardrobe...Minnie Mouse that is. After her successful Cinderella Collection, Lauren Conrad has just launched her Minnie Mouse Collection exclusively at Kohls.
While some of the looks are a bit childish for my own personal style, more specifically, the shirts with a Minnie graphic, the collection as a whole is feminine, fun, and flirty. Polka dots are a hot print this summer and focal point of this collection.
My personal fave are the polka dot shorts. Paired with a plain blouse, cute wedges and dainty accessories, I'd make this a staple look for the summer.
Lauren Conrad's Cinderella collection is the ultimate throwback to my childhood with a modern twist. Although I haven't seen the remake of the movie yet, I feel like the fairy godmother has fluttered into my computer and added some of the most elegant clothing to my Kohl's shopping cart. She knows me so well! (If only she could have fluttered into my room and added those clothes to my closet!)
This enchanted clothing line is all about making you feel like a princess in tons of tulle, floral prints, and organza. Powder pinks and blues and creams are the central colors of this collection which invoke a regal feel to the designs. The line couldn't have launched at a better time with spring almost here. Tulle skirts paired with graphic, feminine tees is one look I'm super excited to start rocking. LC Lauren Conrad currently has four tulle skirts in the Cinderella collection. My only problem with this is which to wear first?! I can't make up my mind on which is my favorite.
Another personal favorite is the foil graphic tee. When you mention Cinderella, the first thing that comes to my mind is "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo," aka my favorite song from the Disney movie. I love how LC styled it with the tulle skirt to bring out your inner princess. I'd also pair this tee with white destroyed denim and gold pumps or wedges for a effortlessly chic spring look.
The maxi dresses are perfect for spring or summer weddings. Maxi dresses are a pretty casual clothing option, but LC added subtle floral designs which take the dresses to another level. Definitely wedding guest appropriate attire.
Treasure Seeker Bag
Let's start out with my purse. I snagged this teal beauty from Dear Jane Boutique. I don't usually go for purses in such a bold color. I opt for neutral tones. But I couldn't pass this one up for spring.
Allure
I always carry a magazine in my purse for any unexpected downtime I may have. Early to class, break at work, waiting in the doctor's office...I like to utilize my time by keeping up with my fashion reads. This week I'm carrying the new issue of Allure featuring my fashion icon, Lauren Conrad.
Kleenex
I was approached by Kleenex to help promote their new campaign, "Style Your Spring with Kleenex," which is about the new fabulous designs the company has issued. Considering I already had these trendy tissues in my bag, this was a no brainer. I saw a press release about the new designs prior and had to pick them up.
Kleenex partnered with Isaac Mizrahi to create 4 designs which are intended to evoke confidence and inspiration to help you express your personal style and step out of your comfort zone when it comes to incorporating the latest trends.
I absolutely love the designs and pops of color. I used to carry the obvious tissue packs that the whole world knew were tissues and instantly took a step back when they saw you whip them out to avoid catching your germs. I'm finishing up my graduate school, so this is my last official spring break. Instead of enjoying this week off, I came down with a cold. In the past, when I'd take my pack of tissues out of my purse, people would take a step back because they knew I was sick. Now, when I took my tissues out with the new Kleenex design and set them on my desk, people thought they were my wallet or a compact because of the trendy design. Incognito tissues is what I like to call them. But they're way more than just tissues, it's some added décor for my office!
If you've checked out my post on spring trends, you'll see Kleenex designs are right on point. These slim packs some with 3 mixed prints which is perfect for me. I'm one of those girls who likes to match, you know, undergarments have to match the outfit, nail polish has to be neutral enough to go with my outfits, handbags must match....I know there's a lot of women out there like me who just won't admit it ;) Anyway, the versatility of the designs let's me match my tissues to my outfits too! haha, crazy, I know. My personal fave is the snakeskin which I use as a neutral print.

Fashion Emergency KitThis was a Christmas gift and has now become a staple in my purse. This kit literally has everything you could ever need for any fashion emergency: nail file, tweezers, earring backs, bobby pins, clear nail polish, nail polish remover, cleansing towel, stain remover, brush/mirror, makeup sponge, double stick tape, buttons/needle/thread...and it all fits in this tiny pouch that takes up very little space in your purse!
You never know when you're going to need a little spritz to freshen up your scent. I always change up the perfumes I wear. Right now it's Dot by Marc Jacobs which is a blend of red berries, succulent dragon fruit, and sweet honeysuckle.
Style & Sanitation
For when I like to put my hair up, I keep a trendy ponytail holder in my side compartment. I used to stick a hair tie in my purse before leaving the house because it was inevitable that my hair would go up at one point, but I always just grabbed whatever was near the door which happened to be a purple, blue, or neon hair tie...stuck out in my hair like a sore thumb. I found this stylish hair tie and ponytail cover at Forever 21 which adds some edginess to my hair.
Hand sanitizer is a must to keep the germs at bay.
Studio Gear:Hydrating CC Cream
This brand contacted me to review their product and I was a little reluctant thinking it was just another foundation...I was sooooo wrong! This hydrating cream transforms and enhances your complexion in an incredibly light, smooth formula. This foundation simultaneously fights aging, retains moisture, and covers and treats blemishes with a non-oily, perfectly radiant finish.
It goes on white and as you blend it into your skin, it matches your complexion. As you can see in my photos above, the more you blend the cream, the more it matches your complexion. Once I blended the cream completely, it covered all my pores without looking like I had anything on.
This cream is absolutely perfect for me being of Italian decent. During the cold months, my complexion is pretty fair which requires me to buy light shades of foundations. As I get tanner and tanner in the summer, I'm constantly changing the foundations to match. I must have about 15 different shades right now...it's ridiculous. Studio Gear finally got it right and all I need is the 3 colors they offer to suit me all year long as my skin color changes. The Hydrating CC Cream is available at Studio Gear's retail website for $34. The brand is now offering you 10% off this product and others with the code: bloggercc.
Key Benefits:
Prevents fine lines and wrinkles with collagen-building ingredients Restores skin elasticity by promoting moisture retention Brightens and illuminates skin with a non-oily, complete coverage application
