look of the day

i have a love/hate relationship with miss lauren conrad. but beauty done right, such as in the below, overcomes any ill feelings i may have toward the gal. :)

*via people style watch

dare i say she looks like an american kate middleton here? i know, it's almost blasphemous to make such a comparison, right? but just in this pic, she's like the sun shiny socal version of the princess in waiting.

i love love love everything about this hair color on her plus the simple unfussy styling. i wish my skin tone was similar to hers just so i can rock this color for the spring time. but alas, this is just one more thing to add to my ongoing list of things to be jealous of about lauren conrad.

love and hate, my friends.
