Lauren Conrad Style by Lauren Conrad
3.0
this book was everything i wished derek blasberg's trainwreck "classy" would have been. LC gives tips on looking classy (down to how much cleavage is acceptable- i think it was 3/4 of an inch but didn't bother to remember because i don't have any cleavage) without being a jerk, proving that she (unlike my mortal enemy blasberg) actually IS classy.
that said, there weren't many surprises in here. i only learned a few things i didn't already know, but teens should find fresh knowledge. the book could also be called "lauren conrad style for people who look like lauren conrad." i am pretty much opposite of her in height, body proportion, coloring, and income bracket, so that limits what i can do. that and the fact that i will never feel the need to glue individual fake eyelashes to my eyelids. still, i found a braid thingie i want to try in my hair, as well as some good suggestions for packing and cleaning closets. the photography throughout was gorgeous, but i would have liked to see more photos of processes, and not just finished products. some of her instructions were a little vague, and i need help learning how to blowdry using a round brush without having to cut my hair off the brush afterward.
overall, a solid choice for teens.
