Though, it may seem like summer is fighting every tooth and nail to stick around while fall’s already arrived, there’s no stopping the festivities and spoils that the month of October brings, it’s a pumpkin fiesta everywhere you look, pumpkin pie (well not yet), pumpkin spice, pumpkins carved, and a little fall foliage trying to get past summer hangovers, Lauren Conrad is ready today no matter what with her latest LC Lauren Conrad Kohl’s like of clothing that shines pumpkin in a whole new light.

Where there’s costumes, there’s Halloween, Lauren too has chunky-knit orange sweater with dark and romantic flowy dresses, first Lauren shows off the darks with the plus size long sleeves ruffle dress with root beer boots, then the pumpkin rolls in on a funnelneck sweater, feel good mid-rise skinny jeans, and herbal sneakers to be the proud pumpkin.

The pumpkin rolls on with plus size knit pullover sweater paired with plus size super skinny jeans, then the brown of the fall foliage rolls in on a ruffle halter jumpsuit with root beer boots that move onto Oktoberfest, followed by Halloween to cap it all off with a chance to dress up to 4 times even on November 1.

From The Ground Up

We didn’t think Queen B could do anything else to further gain our devotion, but it turns out the goodness just keep on coming.

At a surprise appearance at the grand opening of Tyler Perry Studios, Beyoncé topped off her radiant golden yellow look with a sustainable choice, laboratory-grown jewelry brand Anabela Chan’s diamond chandelier earrings.

The London-based brand’s vast collection of classic and whimsical pieces have been popping up in major ways recently on some of our favorite Hollywood starlets.

Beyoncé of course wore the Anabela Chan laboratory-grown diamond chandelier earrings to Tyler Perry Studios Grand Opening on Saturday evening in Atlanta, Georgia.

Susan Kelechi Watson too wore Anabela Chan laboratory-grown earrings to the 71st Emmy Awards on September 21 in Los Angeles, California, as well as Zendaya with emerald studs the next morning in the wee hours at HBO’s Emmy After Party, Rihanna wore the lab earrings to her Savage x Fenty show on September 20, and Jennifer Lopez got in the lab diamond action back on September 8 when JLO wore earrings to the “Hustlers” Press Day at the Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada.

It’s All In The Beauty

Something by Daniel plus Lauren got overlooked back on September 17, in the midst of Coterie, family birthdays, and being sick that week, Lauren Conrad displayed a very pregnant bump that only one has the freedom and guts to pull off on Instagram, it bares Lauren’s soul right to its core as Lauren gets ready to give birth between now and next month approximately.

There’s plenty to bare with Lauren stripped down to just white lingerie with a satin white robe, looking directly right at the bump of her second child that’s soon on the way.

Creepy Is Cute

You just feel the tension and the excitement in the air, the carved pumpkins littered all around, the decorated ghosts and scarecrows hanging from the walls, windows, and trees on the lawn, the witches everywhere you turn, and don’t forget the bats (creepy and scary looking ones), there’s also a wonderful addition as an alternative to bats which Lauren Conrad chose today as she declared that her Halloween decorating was finally finished.

In all the hype and masquerading of Halloween every year, especially in New York, there’s always a little cuteness and whimsical moments found behind the scariness and sexiness, it’s found on Lauren’s fireplace mantel where it’s all decorated with delightful little and big black butterflies, where at first glance they look like bats, the only scariness added are the color black on the butterflies, adding the spookiest effect to what otherwise beautiful butterflies.

It’s certainly that moment to crank up the iPod, the iPhone, the Apple Music, and even the radio to start playing “Thriller” by Michael Jackson on repeat, whether it’s at the party, trick or treating, or even on the treadmill at the gym following your daily weight training session.

Seek & You Shall Find

It’s certainly no secret that Halloween is 4 weeks and one day from now, with added opportunities to dress up several days before (and even the day after on November 1), some say you should get your Halloween costume ready as early as July, some buy their costumes soon after Labor Day passes, while others scramble the day of being someone else to get their creepiest and sexiest costume right before their makeup appointment and/ or Halloween party (a ritual of Daniel plus Lauren), but many may not realize that a Halloween costume could already be in your closet, Lauren Conrad helps you today to put together costumes in your own home.

As you find a Halloween costume in your closet, you could delightfully discover that you could be a detective, with LC Lauren Conrad aiding you along in a trench coat in plaid, scarf in rose, feel good denim skinny jeans in black, Lydia Circle Bag, Aveline Square Sunglasses, and Mocha Booties In Taupe, with magnifying glass, white collared shirt, and detective hat.

There’s already a fair amount of pumpkins in your home to celebrate the fall, and a few carved ones to celebrate Halloween, why not seek out another pumpkin you could wear without buying an actual pumpkin with LC Kohl’s knit pullover sweater in orange topaz, denim, Lydia round crossbody mini in oak, Leche booties in black, leaf cluster earrings, black face paint pens, green or orange headband, and green pipe cleaners.

You also could find yourself on a safari, but very chic with LC Kohl’s ruffle halter jumpsuit, Corrine heart faux leather belt bag in saddle, marled bow cloche hat in natural, giraffe pendant necklace, giraffe stud earrings, Leche booties in taupe, socks, and binoculars.

Let’s Go Hooping

Gigi Hadid’s jewelry game has been especially on point this Paris Fashion Week, but we are most intrigued by her hoop mastery.

Instead of donning the popular classic gold hoop, Gigi went with elevated modern instead, taking her 70’s glam looks into the 21st century.

The new leading-edge cool girl brand Gigi’s been sporting, which is Ame, has even more innovative variations of classic styles taken up a notch.

As early as today, Gigi Hadid wore Ame hoops to the Each x Other spring/ summer 2020 runway show over in Paris, France.

And on Thursday in Paris too, Gigi wore Ame hoop earrings to the Fenty after party.

It’s Groovy, Man

Vivienne Tam got inspired by the “Flower Power” movement of the late 1960’s to early 1970’s coiner by beatnik poet, Allen Ginsberg, in 1965 as a means to transform war protests to peaceful affirmative spectacles.

Originated in Berkeley, California, as a symbolic action to protest against the Vietnam War.

Ginsberg advocated that the protestors should be provided with “masses of flowers” to hand out to the policemen, press, politicians, and the observers.

Dreams of peace and the power of love reflected in this season’s collection.

Taking a unique approach with an emphasis on sustainability.

Tawny neutrals, pops of blue sky, orange sunset, green grasses, and wheat fields, tawnier hues, and pops reflecting wild flowers.

Recycling and reusing yarns, fabrics, and trims from various seasons.

Mixing and matching the old and new.

The juxtaposition of pattern clashes, patchwork, silk, new texture, and fabrics unified with the sentiments of the past revitalized.

Only For Miss Moore

Demi Moore is making the rounds for her long-awaited memoir, “Inside Out”, and keeping us on our sartorial toes along the way.

At this book store signing, Demi’s androgynous checkered suit and sweatsuit tie are perfectly balanced with the minimal pairing of a ring by sustainable jewelry brand, Ame.

How to conquer masc-femme chic?

According to Demi, soften the hard look with just the right amount of dainty goodness with a cause.

Demi Moore wore an Ame lab-grown sustainable diamond ring to “Live Talks LA” “Inside Out” book signing on Thursday evening in Los Angeles, California.
