In the News…

***** Hey readers! Brace yourself – it was a big news day!

The UK’s Daily Mail published a photo along with a headline naming the wrong Olsen twin. For most of their early lives (Ages 0-16,) I believed they were identical because they were always dressed alike, but these days I can tell the two of them apart within seconds. You don’t have to see it in their faces to tell who is who, but you will see it in the way that they are dressed. Need some help telling the fashion icons apart? Check out Fashionista for their guide here.

The Beauty Department

Lauren Conrad can officially add the title of blogger to her resume today as she launched her new blog “The Beauty Department” with her hairstylist Kristin Ess and makeup artist Amy Nadine. The lovely ladies will offer up advice daily on topics involving hair, beauty, and tutorials. Though it is rare for me to be perusing beauty blogs, I feel like I might be visiting it more often just because I am loving the layout done by Design Love Fest.
