My undying love for Lauren Conrads Style

I honestly think Lauren Conrad is underrated, and even bashed on by online critics unnecessarily. She's so pretty, with great style (without showing too much skin) and she's never one of those celebs that get locked up for drink driving or anything. I loved her in Laguna Beach and The Hills, Whitney leaving that show was one thing, but when Lauren left I stopped watching it altogether. Lauren has always been a style inspiration to me, as she has such a romantic, girly style.
When I heard she is designing clothes I got butterflies because I was so excited to see what she has to share with the world! I haven't bumped into an online store that sells her clothes and sends them to Australia yet though. I just bumped into a Teen Vogue link to a Summer 2012 collection by her for Kohl's. I haven't heard of this brand yet (I'm guessing it's not the cosmetics brand she's doing a line for anyway hehe), but I like what I see so far. Especially because this line was done by LC. There are a lot of pastels in these clothes, and I love love love! She models them too, and she has such a lovely smile how can you not love the clothes?!
 The whole photoshoot has an 'afternoon tea party' feel to it. It's so sweet, and girly.
I'm especially loving the mint trousers, they're such a lovely fit and also a really trendy colour this season. The floral shorts in picture 4 also caught my eye, it's such a versatile piece to have in your wardrobe, you can dress it down or up.
I wasn't sure whether the blue dress in picture 3 was something I would wear, but then I thought about it and it's definitely on my wish list! If you read ahead, I also found the link as to where you can purchase any of these pieces for (hint hint: they're on sale right now, yay). I just hope they post to Australia, my biggest barrier when online shopping is that the good places never post to where I live.
 This maxi dress made my jaw drop! I love the fishtail detail and it's just so pretty altogether. Lauren has such great style, it's really great that we are now able to get a piece of her style in our wardrobes!
I'm not a really big fan of the jewellery, it all looks a little 'beachy' to me, with the beads and the type of flowers but who knows they might grow on me as well.
The heels are quite nice, but  they're nothing overly original, still something I would wear though.
I love the whole feel of picture 9, it's so sweet, they really nailed it with the hair as it gives it that whole 'LC' feel to it. The rest of the clothes were so sweet, romantic, and there are versatile pieces that you could either dress down or up.
If you're wondering where you can get a piece of Lauren Conrads' style into your wardrobe here's the link:
Shop 'LC' by Lauren Conrad
They're quite affordable, compared to prices here, but it all depends where you live. I just checked and they don't ship to international addresses, only to the U.S., which is so depressing as no good stores ship here or if they do their shipping costs something ridiculous like $70-$150.

I hope you like Laurens' line just as much as I do, and make sure to let me know if you purchased anything, I would love to see these pieces on. You can post pictures to All-the-Pretty-Goodness FB page , I set it up a few days ago so it's quite new but nevertheless make sure to like away, and send to your girl friends to like too!
Have a splendid day :)

Wasting time, like I have so much of it to throw around

I haven't checked in for a while :( There is a legitimate reason this time, I swear. I'm studying like a maniac for my final exams for this semester :(, and it's exam time again *sigh*. I have absolutely no idea where the rest of this semester went to! I swear someone just came along and stole weeks 5 to 8 because I do not have much recollection of  them happening hehe.
To top it all off, my studying is being interrupted by a lovely Easter trip to Sydney with my even lovelier boyfriend (although I'm not complaining, I can't wait). The only thing I hate is the packing, because the thing is that I'm only allowed on-board luggage, and that does not leave much room for things!
Anyway, here's my OOTD :) I hope you all likey!

This will definitely be a rushed post by the way! Unless I get to save it and finish it when I get to my boyfees' house , as I think I'm going to pack my things into a different bag. My post is on LookBook where you can find the brand names (and pleeeease hype me! I would love to be hyped). Here's the link:

I always hassled my mum to take my pictures, but hassling no more! I finally found a remote for my camera, and for only $10.65 :O including postage, I was so thrilled when I saw it as I've been wanting one of them for years but I always thought it was called a clicker not a remote hence me not being able to find it on eBay.

I haven't worn these shorts for quite a while I must admit, I got it from H&M while I was in Hungary last year and it was extremely cheap. So comfy and pretty, although when I bought it, it fit a little less than it does now. Which means I have lost a little weight since then :( actually I'm almost 100% sure I have, which I didn't care for, I liked my 56kg, it looked healthier than what I look like now that's for sure!

I bought my top from eBay, for very very cheap. Big yay to me! :) I didn't realise what it actually had on the top until it arrived, but it has a wolfs' skull on it, but the eyes of the wolf are so capturing...it's so amazing I fell in love straight away.

The reason I have my sunnies on inside (crazy, right??) is because I don't have any makeup on and that does not look good on camera haha. I'm fine with not wearing makeup when I go somewhere, just not on camera in pictures I put online, oh so not pretty.

I also styled a photo shoot on Sunday, which I'm quite psyched about because the photos turned out lovely! I shall upload them in my next post, I didn't think to do it today :(. Now I'm off to pack up in the little bag that I'm allowed to pack into :) But I hope you all have a lovely Thursday xoxo
