Lauren Conrad rarely goes out without expertly lining her lids with black eyeliner for a
perfect cat eye effect. To get the look bring the edges to a point at the outer corners,
which opens up the eye and makes them look larger.
2. CINCH YOUR BELTS

try a side braid with a half updo or casually twist one into your strands when you wear it
down.

tunics for the perfect balance of shape and proportion. Look for leather or dark-rinse
denim styles for a slimming silhouette.

Conrad chooses shorts that transform an otherwise casual item into a perfectly dressedup look. Try a flat-front black pair, which can translate into a great evening look with a
pair of pumps and loose blouse.

The perfect layering piece that can give any look polish, blazers are a staple of Conrad’s
closet. Use a long, lean boyfriend cut to instantly update a traditionally feminine look.
7. GO FOR THE MINIMALIST OVERSIZED BAGS

Conrad usually opts for neutral totes that are large enough to stash a little bit of
everything. Look for bags with little embellishment or texture in rich hues like camel,
caramel or sand to go with everything in your wardrobe.
8. ADD A WAVE OF CURL TO YOUR HAIR
