Highlights from StyleWeek OC at the Simply Conference at Fashion Island



The Simply conference was the highlight of StyleWeek OC held at Fashion Island on Saturday September 15 and featured some great panels that covered everything from style to beauty and more! The event had several fun photo ops and several celebrity appearances. They also gave away the cutest little mini flower bouquets and some awesome lipstick from NYX. One of my favorite panels was the beauty panel. There were several experts who came to share their favorite beauty tips with the audience. Hollywood makeup artist Louise Roe, Access Hollywood Style Correspondent Emma Willis, TV personality Alli Landry, and blogger babe Lillian Babian all dropped some major beauty knowledge talking about all the latest crazy beauty trends and which ones actually work and what's a waste of time! 
After the beauty panel Reality Star Lauren Bushnell headlined the final panel of the night talking about women's fashion along with Sophie Elkus and Kat Tanita. She also made an appearance in Bloomingdale's earlier that day to talk about her Wine label Dear Rose wines. I caught up with the star to hear about what she's been up to lately. Check out her interview below.
She gave me an update on her company Dear Rose Wines and what they've been working on since we talked at Simply LA.
She said, "It's been going well...continuing to grow and utilizing Stasi which is out alcohol delivery app that we use to deliver our wine in 30 minutes or less to customers in LA, SD, and SF. We're kind of looking at expanding beyond California that's out next step and then also focusing on our 2018 vintage for next spring."
Then we talked about her other passion project Bellevue the label which she will be developing more coming this spring! She said, "Bellevue the label, I was just doing too many things, so we took a little pause which was fine because we released out first capsule and then for our next capsule it'll probably be like a spring capsule which is fun because I love spring fashion so much!"

She talked about balancing her business with her other hobbies and projects saying, "It was just too much and I realized I wasn't able to give either my full attention so I was like I really gotta just focus on one thing at a time."
It is so great to hear a Girlboss like Lauren keep it real and reminds us all that social media and society can set unrealistic expectations! It's okay not to be superwoman and taking a pause doesn't mean you're quitting or giving up. It can actually benefit you in the long run!
She left us with her favorite style tip for Fall saying, "I feel like there are so many trends out there and there are always new trends happening but you've gotta wear what you're most comfortable in and what you feel works for you. Don't try to make it happen if you feel uncomfortable or you don't feel like yourself!"
