Highlights from Lauren Conrad’s new Kohl’s collection

To delete or not to delete

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Lauren Conrad in an outfit I’ve hated. Considering she’s been on my radar since the first episode of Laguna Beach aired many, many, many moons ago, that’s no small feat. She has mastered the art of understated chic, whether she’s strolling through LA or strutting down a red carpet. Read More »

Fall is officially here and I’m drinking Pumpkin Spice Lattes like there is no tomorrow. When I’m not chugging down $45 drinks, I’m splurging on sweaters, apples (nothing like a crisp fall apple) and fall-foliage-inspired clothing. Which means one thing. I’m broke. Damn that burnt orange zip-up that I just had to have. Anyways if you’re also fall-broke like me, don’t worry, because we have a treat for you. The ultimate fall accessory to top of your new wardrobe — Lauren Conrad Jewelry! Your favorite stylish galpal is giving away FOUR necklaces to FOUR lucky readers.

You can’t pass a magazine rack, turn on the TV or browse online without hearing about Lauren Conrad. She’s made a name for herself as an actress, fashion designer and New York Times bestselling author. In 2009, Lauren launched her LC Lauren Conrad collection exclusively at Kohl’s. Her collection includes casual, bohemian-chic apparel, shoes and accessories. Each piece illustrates her own take on fashion and personal style. Check out the entire jewelry collection here.

It seems like celebrities these days have to be Jacks (or Janes) of All Trades. If you’re a singer then you’re a dancer and if you’re a dancer then you’re an actor. Then comes the fragrance, and then, of course, the clothing line, the last of which can get a little creepy crazy. I mean, everyone remembers the Avril Lavinge era of hoodies and men’s ties right? No? Just me.

Well, if you do remember  the terrifying time then you remember just how ridiculous some of these fashion labels can get. So it’s easy to write off every celeb clothing line as a fashion disaster waiting to happen. And while that may be true for some, that’s not the case for all celebs turned designers.

Don’t believe me? Check out these five celebrities with fashion labels you’ll love.

[Welcome to Celebrity Chic on the Cheap, where our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities (like chic gone crazy Kate Moss) are spending $5,000 and more on an ensemble, you an spend way less...and save the rest for Margarita Mondays.]

Lauren Conrad is completely and utterly brilliant. She has somehow managed to parlay getting paid to turn her teenage/college-aged angst into an empire. She has a clothing line, a series of books (that I am unabashedly addicted to, btdubs), a lifestyle website (how very Gwyneth), and is a staple on best dressed lists. And to think, it all started because she was willing to put her dramz on a platter for all of us to devour on a weekly basis.

She’s basically our generation’s Einstein, with far better hair. Lauren’s style is amazing in its simplicity. It’s classic without being dull and trendy without being cliche. She has created an effortlessly unique blend of aesthetics, from preppy to boho to beach chic.  Her night looks are among some of my favorites because they’re always very simple and demure, which can be a nice change of pace.
