Lauren Conrad Tackles Questions From Fans - Part 3

Lauren has been the guest editor over at Lucky' Magazine's tumblr all week! Here is part 3 of her Q&A session with fans:
What's the best vacation you've ever been on?
My favorite vacation I have ever been on was to Bali in Indonesia. I went for two weeks and stayed in lots of different places there. It was such a different type of trip for me. I saw things I had never seen before and did things I had never done. I really felt like I was being exposed to something new. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I can’t wait to go back.
I love your style! Who are your favorite shoe designers?
Thanks! I would say most of my shoes are Christian Louboutin, Miu Miu, or YSL. I prefer a higher heel with a hidden platform for comfort and all three have mastered it. When I am looking for a deal on cute shoes I look to Topshop or Aldo.
What is your best personal style advice?
Don’t let trends dictate what you buy. Cater them to your personal style. It’s important to be an individual and look good while doing it. Put your own twist on trends and don’t be afraid to skip the ones that simply aren’t for you.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Happy :-) I stopped trying to predict what would happen next a while ago, but my hope is that I will be loved and doing something that makes me happy.
What's your favorite trend of this season?
My favorite trend right now is this romantic 70’s vibe. Belled denim over chunky heels makes legs look a mile long and I love all the soft pretty blouses. The vintage florals and pretty color palettes are taking over my summer wardrobe.

"The day has finally come that I must go (tear)…I’ve had blast this past week working as the Lucky tumblr guest editor and it’s all thanks to you! You guys have been great and I absolutely loved reading through all of your questions and comments. I hope you enjoyed all of fun stuff I shared with you here. If one week was not enough, you should check out my website, LaurenConrad.com, where you will find my daily blogs along with a fashion-forward community and forum.
Thanks again for all of your great questions and thank you to everyone at Lucky Magazine for giving me this cool opportunity to guest edit this week!
XO Lauren

Lauren Conrad Tackles Questions From Fans - Part 2

Lauren is the guest editor over at Lucky' Magazine's tumblr this week! Here is part 2 of her Q&A with fans:
What's the best piece of advice youve ever been given?
My father told me that if you do something you love then you’ll never work a day in your life.
You said that you like to read/research food & good recipes, what are some good resources to look at?
I get most of my recipes online. One of my favorite sites is www.allrecipes.com. I love any site that has comments and reviews. Others who have already attempted the dish can give you tips or suggestions on what to change.
How do you decide when to take a fashion risk and when to play it safe?
To be honest I take most of my fashion risks when I know people won’t take note. A night out bar hopping with your girls (dive bars, not clubs) is a perfect night to test drive a new look. On the carpet I tend to play it safe most of the time. The press can be brutal but your friends are much kinder.
What are your top 5 staples for the summer?
1- Missoni Bikinis
2- White Camisole Top
3- Cutoff Jean Shorts
4- Striped Sweater
5- Paper Crown Floral Dress
What is your favorite hair style?
My favorite way to wear my hair is down in loose curls. It’s low maintenance and appropriate for most occasions. See www.thebeautydepartment.com for a tutorial on how I do my everyday curl.
What is the sweetest thing a fan has done when they met you? xo
I have so many wonderful stories of amazing things people have done for me. One that stands out is a young lady who has come to multiple signings and makes me these beautiful boxes that hold photos.
What are three things a girl should have in her wardrobe?
1- A basic black pump
2- A well fitting Little Black Dress
3- A perfect pair of jeans
What is your advice for young aspiring business women?
My advice is to get as much experience in the industry as possible. Whatever field you are interested in, take every opportunity you can to learn. School is great to teach you fundamentals, but there are limitations to what you can learn from a text book. Internships don’t usually come with a paycheck, but the experience is priceless.

I'm dying to see her new hair color up close. I was hoping we might get some photos of her leaving Chelsea's studio yesterday but I haven't come across any yet. Fingers crossed for new candids and soon! :)

Lauren Conrad Answers Fan Questions!

Lauren is the guest editor at Lucky' Magazine's tumblr this week! Take a peek at her first day on the "job":
"Hi tumblrs! It’s day one of my official Lucky tumblr editorship and the pressure is on… So much to share, so little time! To get this week started, I invite all of you to ask me questions and I’ll do my best to answer as many as I can throughout the week. Don’t forget to check in throughout the day and over the course of the week for updates about my cover shoot, my summer must-haves and lots more." XO Lauren
You have a great figure. Are you a keen healthy eater and exercise girl?
Well thank you! Like any girl I have to work to stay healthy. As I become more and more busy a lot more of my health depends on my diet.I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted (within reason) because I was working out almost everyday. These days that just isn’t a reality for me. Some days I just can’t make it to the gym or find the time to go for a hike. Because of this I have really taken an interest in the food I put into my body. I read books and research the things that I should and should not be eating (there is some scary stuff out there!)So I try my best to eat clean avoiding processed foods or foods with ingredients that I can’t pronounce. I have also grown to love cooking which helps. I buy organic and know exactly what is going into my meals.
What is it like to be considered a role model to some many young girls out there?
Both nerve wracking and flattering. It is such a compliment to be told that you are looked up to, but with that comes responsibility. I have always lived my life the way I wanted and tried not to let others affect my decisions. That said, I do try to be aware of how my choices effect other people. I think it’s all about finding a balance.
What is your favorite casual look for a sunny summer day?
Warm sunny days are my favorite to dress for. I usually opt for something flowy, whether it be a summer dress or a light weight blouse. I am also a fan of cut off denim shorts. Not too short or too tight, just cute and comfortable.
Were you nervous to first put paper crown out there into the world
knowing it was a self funded project?
Yes, very! When you venture out on your own with a project like this there is no one else to point a finger at if it doesn’t perform. That being said, I have really enjoyed the freedom it has allowed me in making both business and creative decisions. When it comes down to it, this is really a passion project. I’m able to do something I love with people I love and I feel so fortunate. If people respond to the line that’s just icing on the cake.

Lauren Conrad: Lucky Magazine Cover Girl!

Lauren Conrad covers the July issue of Lucky mag, and the former reality TV star rocks a blazer, tank, and leather shorts from her own Paper Crown clothing line. Loves it!
So what challenges has Conrad faced since trying to make a name for herself as a fashion designer? “It’s easier to launch the line without MTV,” she says. “A lot of people in fashion don’t want to be linked with anything that has to do with reality TV. Showrooms were turning us down.” Of course, Conrad knew exactly what she was signing up for when she got her start on The Hills in 2006, but she insists that she "never wanted to end up in entertainment." Though she's "totally aware" that she wouldn't be where she is today without the show, she says she only did it to kick start her fashion career.
Conrad may have one of the most enviable figures in Hollywood, but she claims she's "just not a fan of the gym." In fact, the 25-year-old starlet reveals that she absolutely hates it! "I understand loving the feeling you get after working out — all those endorphins," she says. "But going there? It’s the worst.” While she may not be enthusiastic about getting her cardio on, she has made a few changes in her diet. “I’m now focusing a lot more on my health," she continues. "I no longer eat pork, I rarely eat beef, and I don’t like chicken now because my mother keeps four hens as pets. I’m not kidding.” Lookin' good, LC!

I'll post some scans as soon as I can get my hands on a copy! :)
