CHARITABLE CUTIE

Posted Oct 31 2011 @ 10:34 PM

Lauren Conrad attended the 2nd Annual Autumn Party featuring a fashion show by Yigal Azrouel benefiting the Children's Institute that was held at The London Hotel in West Hollywood on October 26, and looked sweet and shimmery as she smiled on the red carpet. In a champagne colored sequined dress (for two similar options, check out Halston Heritage's Tank Dress in Golden or Mark & James by Badgley Mischka's Sequin Dress in Cream) with a pair of nude peep toe pumps, Lauren toted an oversized nude clutch which, in my opinion, is too large to carry on the red carpet and - let's get real - kind of looks like a paper bag. For a more vibrant option, go for a pop of color with Julie K Handbags' Callie in Red Cobra. Finally, Lauren stacked on a few golden bangles (try Alex and Ani's Set of 7 Expandable Wire Bangles w/ Ribbed in Gold) and went for a bright pink lip and pinned up waves. Is this look a winner on Lauren, everyone? As those of you who are LC fans know, the former "Hills" star already offered up her fashion advice in her book "Lauren Conrad Style" - however, now Lauren is set to dish on beauty in the just-announced book "Lauren Conrad Beauty." Says Lauren: "I am working on a new book: 'Lauren Conrad BEAUTY'! Like 'Lauren Conrad Style', my beauty book will be your ultimate guide for all things beauty. In it, I'll provide my personal insights, instructions and tips to keep you looking glamorous 365 days a year. I'll address everything from how your diet affects skincare and fun hairstyles for a night out to one simple thing you can do each day to freshen up your look." Anyone interested in checking out Lauren's beauty tome? Or, are you more interested in the supposed "tell-all" that Heidi Montag is currently writing?
