Style Icon: Lauren Conrad

03/02/13 | celebrity, Style Icons

 

For years I have been envious of Lauren Conrad’s laid-back, California chic look and when I found out that she was 5’7″ like me I decided I had to like her. Usually I am in a love-hate relationship with reality TV stars, in that I love to hate them but LC is one of the few exceptions- I admire how much she has done including becoming an author, fashion designer, and an actress.  

It is crazy to think that it was almost a decade ago that she appeared on MTV as part of the original cast members on Laguna Beach. Since then she has definitely risen above that stereo typical mold, and I say go girl, go. When she is out and about promoting her adorable books or walking down the red carpet she has such amazing class and style!

 

Thoughts?  What do you think of LC’s style?

    I love her! I am somewhat jealous that she got a jumpstart to her career because a stupid, yet addicting MTV show decided to film her high school years

    I love everything about her! She is one of my woman crushes… I have loved her since the days of Laguna Beach and still do to this day! I have both her Style & Beauty book and all three of her LA Candy books and I read her blog & The Beauty Department blog religiously. She has an effortless looking style that one envies… She’s adorable and so down to earth, her fame really hasn’t gone to head like it does for most! So I completely agree her style is fabulous.
