Beauty and Style Books!

Recently I have been OBSESSED with beauty and style books!! It all started when I went with Jane to the local book store here in Duck, North Carolina (called the Island Bookstore). Her and I usually just walk straight to the teen section and look at all the cheesy summer romance novels, but since it is winter I wanted to change it up a little bit. I was just looking around for something different to read when I saw some style and beauty books! The one that really caught my eye was the Lauren Conrad book about style! I think every girl should have at least one book about either style or beauty because they really do help A LOT!! 

Here are some of the ones I picked up!! :)




 Here are all the books :)
I absolutely love Lauren Conrad so how could I not get this book!?! It's full of great advice and tips.
Here are just some pages from her book :)

Ok so this Bobbi Brown book Beauty Rules is my FAVORITE out of all of these!! It has given me soooo much advise about makeup and how you should treat your skin!! I definitely recommend THIS book if you are just going to get one of these!! Bobbi really knows how to be real and understands about the average girl! 
Bobbi Brown tells about how to make your face beautiful instead of trying to make it look made-up. She shows in this book how to make it all look natural. But she also has some alternatives for those fun nights out! 
As you can guess if you've read any Seventeen Magazine that this book is a little far out! This one is not really about your "everyday" natural look! But it does have some really fun beauty and fashion tips. But hey, we're young, why not try some really fun looks, right?!? I mean you only live once!!

I wish I was good at styling hair like this!! This is gorgeous!!

  22. I LOVE Bobbi Brown beauty books, and I totally agree that Seventees hairstyles are adorable. I'm @_Snarky from your Instagram and I've got to say you're my favorite preppy IG-er because your outfits are adorable and we live in the same area (we were even in the OBX at the same time, which I thought was kind of hilarious) but I didn't know you had a blog! I'll definitely be reading it regularly!
