Fans of Lauren Conrad flocked to Laguna Beach Books on Saturday afternoon as the reality star they watched grow up returned to her hometown as an accomplished author and designer.
Conrad signed her latest novel, "Sugar and Spice," and "Lauren Conrad Style" for about 200 people. Though Conrad now spends most of her time in L.A., she still has a home in Laguna and comes back whenever she can.
"It's a little more laid back," said Conrad, adding she misses the beaches when she's away. "Of course we have Malibu, but it's not the same."
Fans, many of them teens, came from around Orange County and beyond for the book signing. When it comes to style, Conrad said she encouraged girls to be creative and make mistakes.
"It's important to develop your personal style," she said. "When you're younger, I think it's easier to go with the crowd."
