JewelMint's "The Look".

Dress: Uniqlo; Hat & Tights: Kohl's; Sunglasses: Thrifted; Ballet Flats: J. Crew.

I have been extremely busy with various projects that are off the internet lately. Even though I recently graduated, I have been asked by senior students at The Art Institute of Austin to be the copy editor for their very own fashion magazine. Regular readers will recall that I was the copy editor (and contributor) for my Fashion Capstone class's magazine, Thread. I am honored to be asked to work on such a creative endeavor.

So, in my spare time, I've been doing what I do best: finding interesting videos to watch so that you don't have to.

I found this little gem from JewelMint, entitled "The Look". I feel it captures the essence of JewelMint better than I ever could. Have a look for yourself!

As you may or may not know, I currently have a discount code for first-time JewelMint shoppers! Enter austin884 at checkout for 50% off your first month of JewelMint, courtesy of the Austin MBA Team.

LC: Lauren Conrad at Kohl's.

With the new season of The Hills, Lauren Conrad's launch couldn't come at a better time.

Although she no longer appears on the show, the media is still talking about her. Lauren has been just as busy as before: along with her new line, Conrad has been on the Best Sellers List with her debut novel, LA Candy. She is currently in talks to adapt her book into a movie.

Her last clothing line, the Lauren Conrad Collection at Kitson's, became defunct after it failed to sell. Reports blamed this on LC's inability to promote the line.

I never bought anything from her previous line, as it was too simple for something so expensive.

But at Kohl's, Lauren Conrad has a lower price-point.

Everything is selling for $60 or less, and it's currently on sale.

What do you think of the line? If Conrad was going for a more casual look over exciting, she hit the mark. The clothes do look comfy, and the use of color is more subtle than extreme. However, overall, much like the People's List for Best Dressed, I find the garments to be uninspiring and rather drabby.

Perhaps because Conrad's clothing is already on-sale, Kohl's predicting the line will fare less than well. Only time will tell if Lauren Conrad's line will stick this time around.
