Best Beauty & Style Books // AliceOlivia

Best Beauty & Style Books // AliceOlivia


Gok Won Work Your Wardrobe
A fun and sassy look at fashion from the Queen Gok himself. I recommend this for those of all ages; he discusses in depth different cuts of jeans, blazers to suit which body type etc, and really teaches how to dress for your body. While some of the outfits are not my style, this book is very useful, and reflects Gok's cheerful personality.

Lauren Conrad Beauty
A must have for all makeup lovers, or those who want to learn more about the art of makeup application. She also discusses other aspects such as skin care and hair care, and lists certain ingredients to avoid when shopping for products. This one is my makeup bible as I learnt a large portion of my makeup skills from here, and makes the perfect gift.

Lauren Conrad Style
Another fantastic book by Lauren, this one's about fashion. She discusses every thing from her key pieces, travelling essentials and go-to lists for any holiday occasion, work/ school appropriate outfits, and her makeup tips (though Lauren Conrad Beauty is far more in depth). I love Lauren's effortless, classic style, and this one makes for another fantastic gift to any fashion loving friend.

#GIRLBOSS 
A quirky and insightful look at Sophia Amoruso, Nasty Gal founder and CEO, journey to becoming a enormously successful business woman in the fashion retail industry. She gives worthwhile tips and words of wisdom surrounding becoming your own "Girl Boss" in business.

Celebrity Street Style: The Best Of The Best

Hi all! Today is a visual blog post, where I show you some of the most fashionable celebrities in my opinion. Any one can look gorgeous in a Dior floor length gown, chosen by stylists, but when it comes to street style, celebrities are having to style themselves, and that's when you discover those true fashonistas! Here I have narrowed it down to 3 stylish celebrity babes, and hopefully you can gather some inspiration for outfits of your own! If you like this post, I can blog more about celebrity street style! Leave a comment below telling me your favorite fashionistas, and if you have a blog, leave it down below so i can return the favor. Don't forget to follow me on google+, and bloglovin: http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11555387/aliceolivia
love you all!

RACHEL BILSON








































Rachel's style is effortless and unpredictable (in a good way, that is). One day, she will be rocking a leather biker jacket and trendy scarf, the next a soft blouse and polished jeans. She is fearless, and I applaud her for that! Blazers, scarfs, sunnies and a killer pair of jeans are essential for replicating this effortless style.




LAUREN CONRAD









































Lauren Conrad has killer style, and has a book to prove it! Her street style is casual and classic, and reasonably easy to recreate! To achieve her look gravitate towards neutral colors: look for boots, jeans, and white shirts, and over sized sweaters, however since these are staples you probably have many of these things already (and if you don't, go to the store now)!




BLAKE LIVELY





































































































Blake Lively's style is very glamorous and... expensive (thus making it harder to recreate). She pays alot of attention to the texture of an outfit, and loves to layer. To steal Blake's style, go for leather jackets, layering pieces, and neutral toned scarfs.

Welcome To AliceOlivia!


Welcome!

Hi there beauty bugs, fashion junkies, and life loving hippie's! 

Welcome to AliceOlivia, which is all about beauty, fashion, and life related topics. 

I want to keep this short and sweet, but I will tell you a little about my style and my interest in beauty.


















Style


I am all for discovering your own style, and finding what fits your personality best. For myself, I have a very classic, youthful retro style with modern elements combined. I like to take risks,  and I love to experiment with different trends and fashion. I don't like to categorize my style however, since everyone's is unique and their own. 
In my blog I will discuss, and share my love of fashion with you, and give inspiration to discover your own style as well!

Beauty

I love makeup.  Makeup is not a mask, but an extra boost of confidence and a way to make yourself feel your best. I will be reviewing makeup that you have requested me too, and will also be doing tutorials and monthly favorites as well. Make sure to leave requests in the comments!

Life

Lastly, life. I didn't want to make this all about fashion and beauty, but I want to chat, express and talk about happy, warm cuddly stuff about life. I am also a budding ballerina, so if you guys are also interested in talking about ballet, please let me know!

I am so happy that you came across this site, and am very open for your thoughts and ideas on what you would like to see this blog become, so please leave your request for blog posts down below! I am working on putting my site on blog lovin, so u will be able to follow soon! If you have a blog yourself, let me know what it is and I will check it out!

Love you lots!
Alice
