Lauren Conrad Visits Access Hollywood

The lovely and very stylish Lauren Conrad hosted a show on Access Hollywood Live today featuring clothes from her LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s collection and tips from her new book “Lauren Conrad Style.”

The book is chock full of good info and practical advice that works for real women, including how to find the right pair of jeans and how to edit your closet. There is a section on how to create foolproof outfits for every occasion and how to make an outfit your own by adding personal touches.

For our fashion show, Lauren revealed her go-to pieces:

THE WHITE TEE
“The white tee is timeless,” Lauren says. “So many different ways to wear it. You can dress it up, dress it down.” Lauren prefers her tees to be lightweight and a bit slouchy.

THE BLACK MINI DRESS AND THE BLACK HEEL
“You can’t go wrong with the little black dress. So many options out there for every body type,” she says. Of course, the black dress always looks great paired with one of LC’s other go-to pieces… the black heel. Lauren loves black platform pumps and wears them to dress up jeans or look good on the red carpet.

THE SKINNY JEAN
“I love a skinny jean, especially in a dark wash. I hope it sticks around,” Lauren says of her go-to cut. I agree and hope this trend is around for a while too! Lauren says her “skinnies” as she calls them, are the most versatile item in her closet. Her favorite brands are J Brand, Urban Outfitters and Levi’s.

THE OVERSIZE SWEATER
“I love an oversize sweater because I travel all the time,” Lauren says. Hers are mostly lightweight because she lives in California and because she is so dressed up most of the time, in her off-moments she loves to be comfortable. Scoop necks, v-necks and cardigans all play a big part of her wardrobe.

Lauren Conrad: The Craziness in My Life is Over

Lauren Conrad starts shooting for her new show which means one thing--expect to see a lot of her!

Lauren's going to be busy doing the promotional rounds, and boy does she have a lot to promote! Between her new reality show, her new book and designing for Kohl's, Lauren has her plate full right now.

She's featured on the new cover of Women's Health magazine where she talks about post-TV life, she spills the beans about her many new projects and how she squeezes in staying in shape. Here are some highlights...

On her post-TV life:

“A lot of the craziness is over. It’s the calm after the storm.”

On balancing her hectic lifestyle:

“When you are working really hard and you’re really focused on your career, a lot of other things suffer. It takes a lot of effort to have a successful career, have great relationships in your life and have a healthy lifestyle. It’s just about compromise.”

On staying grounded:

“One way to stay grounded in the entertainment industry is to surround yourself with very good people that will constantly remind you how uncool you are. It helps that I have an amazing family and I have really great friends that I’ve had since I was a little kid and they’re all still around me, reminding me how lame I am.”

On producing:

“You know, the next thing I’m probably going to do is getting into producing. For me it’s more about finding the time that I really have to dedicate to the beginning stages because I want the first project I do to be something really special.”

On her other upcoming projects:

“Right now, I’m working on putting together my next book series; working on the Kohl’s line…which has taken up a lot of time and has been really, really fun to do.”

On her success as a writer:

“A little bizarre but really cool.”

On taking on a dozen different projects and squeezing in workouts with her beau:

“It helps if your friends and boyfriend like to work out because then you can kill two birds with one stone.”

On her kickboxing sessions:

“Any way to make a workout feel like playtime is great. The stress just melts away.”

Lauren Conrad Dishes on New Reality TV Show

After leaving the hit reality show the Hills, Lauren Conrad spent a lot of her time working on novels like L.A. Candy. Now, the 24-year-old is talking about a new MTV reality show, but this time, it will be on her terms.

“It is reality, it will be more career based so the main focus is my contemporary line, Paper Crown,” Lauren told reporters on Friday night, “But we’re also looking to focus on other projects I have in television, with Kohl’s, the books that I’m writing – so hopefully it will be all the different things that I get to do.”

Lauren says that although nothing is set in stone yet, she is very excited to do a new series.

“I’m very excited, we start filming next month and we’re still trying to get everybody on board so I don’t have a ton of details yet but I’m really looking forward to it,” the author revealed at the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party (click here for pictures).

LC admits that she agreed to do the new show only if she was able to have more input on the content, as opposed to her days on the Hills.

“It was great because I was allowed to lay down ground rules and say this is what I’m willing to put on camera again and this is what I’m not. Everybody is on the same page so I’m very happy going into it.”

And as for guest stars?

“Lo [Bosworth]’s too busy for me! I have my roommate Maura who is running my clothing line so you’ll be seeing her and a couple other of my friends but it will be more of new faces, ones that hid from cameras before.”

With fresh faces, everyone is wondering if Lauren’s boyfriend and fellow actor Kyle Howard will be making an appearance.

“No,” the starlet tells OK!, but says that, “he’s very supportive.”

Lauren Conrad Starting Another Clothing Line

After halting production of her first signature clothing line last year amidst a bleak retail landscape, Lauren Conrad is back at it again, with plans for a new contemporary collection already underway. With her affordable Lauren Conrad collection already being sold at Kohl’s, the former Hills star tells PEOPLE she is starting a new line with several of her best friends. 

“It’s a contemporary women’s line,” she revealed to PEOPLE while hosting a party at Las Vegas’s Tao Beach on Saturday. “Where Kohl’s is a lot of daywear, it’s a lot of basics. This will be more specialty basics, more of a boutique line. It will be at a higher price point. It will be very different.” 

And while Conrad, 24, said the new collection is just getting started, she can’t contain her excitement. “It’s one thing to work with a huge retailer like Kohl’s and there is so much you get to do, but there is a little more of a thrill of doing it on your own,” she said. “It’s a lot more work, it’s a lot more stressful, but it’s something I love doing so I’m really looking forward to it.” Tell us: are you looking forward to another clothing line from Lauren?

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.”
