Lauren Conrad: 'The Hills' To Hollywood Mogul

What began as a reality television gig on “Laguna Beach” has turned into a full-fledged multifaceted career, and Lauren Conrad is counting her lucky stars.

The “Hills” babe left her MTV roots to pursue writing bestselling books and designing clothes and it has definitely panned out for her.

Of her first novel “LA Candy,” Conrad explained, "I didn't take anything specifically that happened to me. The only thing that I did was ... it was a way to show not necessarily me, but just the other side of being on a show like ours. For everyone that's done it, I think you see one side and you don't see the other. It's kind of an interesting story to tell."

As for her LC Lauren Conrad clothing brand with Kohl’s, "It's very much a California brand. It's all about incorporating new trends and putting our own twist on it — relaxed cool without trying too hard.”

Lauren Conrad's 7 Essential Styling Tips

1. She may have quit The Hills and put her upscale Lauren Conrad Collection on hold, but the reality sweetheart is keeping busy with a best-selling novel, L.A. Candy, and a new label for Kohl's, LC Lauren Conrad. Eighteen chic and easy pieces start at only $20, making stocking up relatively painless.

"I like minis; they really elongate your legs."
Party dress, $50; kohls.com. 

2. Although she says it was unintentional, the low-key line suits L.C.'s jet-setting lifestyle of late. "The sweaters are lightweight, soft and oversize—perfect for flying," she says. "I like to be comfortable when I travel, but I can't look gross in sweatpants." If the 23-year-old has learned anything from being trailed by cameras all day long, it's that someone's always watching.

"This sweater is a great layering piece—wear it with or without the belt."
Sweater with belt, $60; kohls.com.  

3. "Chiffon is such a pretty fabric, and draping is so chic."

Drop-waist blouse, $34; kohls.com. 

4.  "I wanted skinny, skinny jeans with a bit of stretch."

Jeans, $54; kohls.com. 

5. "I wear blazers with everything—jeans and a T, or a cocktail dress. It's a very polished look."

Boyfriend blazer, $60; kohls.com. 

6. "I love the big pockets. Cardigans are so versatile—this works over a sundress or jeans."

Boyfriend cardigan, $44; kohls.com. 

7. "It's fun to mix solids and prints. If it's too short, just throw on some tights!"

Knit sheath, $50; kohls.com.

Lauren Gets Fashion Inspiration from Hollyscoop

Lauren Conrad's effortless style comes across in every outfit she chooses, whether it be weekday casual, or red carpet chic.

In a new interview with blog Is This Real Life, she was asked which fashion blogs she gets inspiration from, and Lauren said, “I love PopSugar and Hollyscoop.”

So that inspired us to pick our top three LC looks that you can easily copy!

• Red-carpet Ready: We loved Lauren’s frock she donned at the Style Awards. She’s totally embracing the flirty floral trend, while pulling off a polished look. We did scooping and found the exact dress, and you’re going to die over how cheap it is! Keep in mind, it’s in pounds, but it’s still such a steal!
ASOS Floral Bandeau Dress, £38.00
• Day-to-Night: We love this kind of look that is perfect for the days you’ll be out of the house from early morning until it’s dark out. Lauren Conrad rocked an adorable embellished blouse tucked into a high-waisted skirt. Both pieces are great to dress up or down as well. We found a similar look at Forever 21 and Dillard’s.
Woven Button Skirt, $19.50 and Quiksilver "Peace & Noise" Polka-Dot Blouse, $44.
• Weekend-Casual: Just because it’s the weekend, doesn’t mean you can’t look stylish! This last look is from Lauren's own collection at Kohl's! We're so happy maxi dresses are still in this season, and Lauren's is perfect for those days off!
  The LC Lauren Conrad Colorblock Maxi Dress is only $44.99 at Kohl's.

'Project Runway' Meets 'The Hiils'

Ra'mon Lawrence Coleman went from the runway to The Hills, as he employed his Project Runway skills and worked alongside Lauren Conrad for her spring collection. The season 6 designer didn't exactly make any appearances on the show, since even the star doesn't work there anymore. However, the two of them put their heads and hands together to come up with Conrad's LC Collection for Kohl's.

The designer helped out a lot with the star's collection, highlighting his talents in details. He didn't quite boast of the collaboration though, but there are several obvious similarities in his Project Runway creations to hers. Even fashion blog le petit connaisseur pointed out a number of parallel features.

Also, Coleman already revealed the news back in 2009 and told L'etoile Magazine about his work with the former Hills starlet. "You know me, I'm a guy who likes to juggle many things," Ra'mon Lawrence said.

Anyway, Lauren Conrad's spring collection also draws heavily from the star's own style. It's also pretty affordable too, which is always great news for those who want to pay homage to the Hills and Project Runway stars. Or those who just like good clothes.

Lauren Conrad's Favorite Designer: Herself!

When Lauren Conrad needs a wardrobe update, she looks no further than her own collection for Kohl's. “I think if you’re not willing to wear your own clothes, you’re doing something wrong. This line was meant to be about my style and pieces I want to walk into a store and want to buy. If you’re not wearing your own line, you’re taking all the fun out of it,” the former reality star tells Glamour.com. Known for her flirty frocks and California cool girl style, Lauren says her staple piece is the blazer. “We have one in every collection, and we usually update it and tweak it a little bit. In this specific collection, I also really love the biker jacket we did.” And come spring, Lauren says she’ll be pairing her sharp toppers with lots of watercolor prints: “I think they’re very romantic and kind of timeless. I almost did too much of it with this collection. When we were shopping for prints with Kohl’s, everything I picked was watercolor and floral. They’re very in because of the whole Alice in Wonderland thing.” However one fashion fad, the style author won’t be trying this season is hot pants. “You can’t wear them to the club, because you’re going to look like one of the dancers, but they could look cute on the beach!” says Lauren.

Lauren Brings 'Accessible' Clothing To Kohl's

Lauren Conrad has hooked up with department store Kohl's for her LC by Lauren Conrad clothing brand — if fans have always admired former "Hills" star's laid-back, girly sense of style, now they can achieve the look.

"It's very much a California brand. It's all about incorporating new trends and putting our own twist on it — relaxed cool without trying to hard," she told MTV News at a press event for the line, adding that there's a piece in her collection for every occasion.

"I have a few [favorite pieces] ... a favorite piece for what? You have to dress the part!" she laughed. "I do a lot of basics, so we have a great blazer, a high-waisted black skirt and biker jacket and all those pieces can be traded throughout ... it's a lot of layering, a lot of switching-up, so you can get more mileage." There's a reason the line is very feminine — LC only has plans to design for the ladies. "I'm not a boy," she joked, adding she's too "selfish" to design clothes that she can't wear herself.

And while there were probably other retailers clamoring to get LC's designs in their stores, she had a very specific reason for working with Kohl's. "They're very accessible. They're everywhere and they're online and they're affordable," she explained. "It was a fun way for me to work with a really great company and to say, 'This is what I think is going to be in in a couple months' and 'This is what I'm gonna wear at a great price point and great quality.' "

LC Lauren Conrad: Laguna Minus High Prices

You can’t doubt the appeal of Lauren Conrad–and apparently Kohl’s agrees, because they’ve signed on for another season of the LC Lauren Conrad clothing line.  Take a peek at some of the things we could actually see ourselves wearing–all of it is marked down to under $40.

(LEFT) This sequin cardigan ($39.99, down from $60) can be worn at night with skinny jeans, or during the day with a pair of relaxed, distressed boyfriend jeans. You choose.

(RIGHT) For something a little more California, try this floral peasant blouse ($21.99, down from $34). Include a belt to punch up the edge factor or go without and still have a subtle sex appeal.

(LEFT) Slip into these cuffed boyfriend jeans ($34.99, down from $54) with various distressed points and pair them with any of the adorable tops from her line.

(RIGHT) We like that this soft spring floral tee ($21.99, down from $34) isn’t overly girly–the neutral colors let you pair it with anything–with jeans, tucked into a pencil skirt, or with shorts.

Get a great pair of jeans to go with everything this spring. For another dose of reality star-turned designer, check out Nicole Richie’s Winter Kate clothing, too. If you think LC Lauren Conrad stuff is a deal, wait until you check out the online sample sales happening today.

Let Lauren Conrad Dress You

Even though we're missing her on The Hills, Lauren Conrad is keeping busy. Last week the reality star launched her LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's line in LA. The affordable "California-inspired" line is filled with cute separates like jeans and knit tops but there are also a few pieces that would look great in a yoga and Pilates studio too. These pieces are on sale now and we're loving how affordable the prices are — nothing shown here is over $25!

I am thinking the tank and leggings would look lovely on a Pilates Reformer layered with either shirt for walking to and from class. What about you?
