There's never a time when I go into Kohl's and look at Lauren Conrad's Collection that I can't find something to buy. She has such feminine and chic items at reasonable prices. So many of my own clothing and jewelry items, especially jewelry, are from her collection. Here are a few of my favorites from her current collection.
Ladies, wedding season is quickly approaching and for all of you brides and future brides out there, it's never too early to figure out what to get your bridesmaids. I did this for all of my bridesmaid and was so pleased with the look in the end. It turned out great in pictures. Not to mention, we got lots of compliments at the salon. I ended up getting each of the girls a men's button down shirt with their initials monogrammed onto the pocket. I stuck to my colors and got all of the girls a pink shirt, and then a white shirt for myself. A great place to find a color you'd like, for cheap, is Kohl's (Other great reasons for going to Kohl's is they were also doing $10 in Kohl's cash for every $50 when I bought these and you might be able to get 30% off if you have a Kohl's card). As for sizing, I just asked all the girls what their shirt size was, and then I went down a size since it's in mens, and if they were already a small, just go with small since they typically don't make extra small in mens. (Also, you could do robes instead of shirts, but that would be a bit more expensive.) Once I got the shirts, I took them to a local embroidery place. I recommend putting post-its on each shirt with the initials so the shop knows which shirt/size goes with which initials. For the thread, I did my own shirt with pink thread and the girls with white. Overall, I was very pleased with how these turned out and you can see for yourself below. We all had them on getting our hair and makeup done. I had all the girls pair the shirts with black leggings/pants because I figured they'd all have this, and it was perfect! I wouldn't have changed a thing about this gift and the girls seemed to love them too! 
I've never been one that really likes to buy athletic gear because I think, "I'm only wearing it to workout in. Why would I want to use my money on that?" However, this top totally changed my mind, and I'm starting to see that athletic apparel for women is a lot different than it used to be. I found this top yesterday at TJMaxx by MPG for only $29.99 and I just couldn't resist. It's super girly, cute, great color, and something I can wear for more than just working out. So today with having the day off for MLK Jr. Day, I needed to run some errands and thought I'd be comfy and wear this. It's a great top to go with some athletic pants or jeans, throw on some tennis shoes, and you're good to go!
In addition…..Stay tuned for the AMAZING herringbone pattern athletic capri pants I also found at TJMaxx. | KirstinI'm just your regular gal from the Midwest with a love for fashion. However like most and for myself being a teacher, you want to dress cute, but you have to stay on a budget. Fear not.... I'm here to help! I've taken outfits I've seen on Pinterest and my own ideas and created outfits just as great with things a lot of you probably already have in your closet or items that are available at affordable prices from well-known stores. So... Stay tuned! There's always something new and exciting that I'm blogging about.  ArchivesJanuary 2014 CategoriesAll |
