From Maverick to Mogul Starlet… 

Lauren Conrad, better known as LC, certainly has gone the sandy mile from the pristine shores of Laguna Beachto celebrity-infested Hills of Los Angeles, and she doesn’t appear to be slowing any time soon.  With gradual fame and fortune whilst transforming a feminine fashion maverick into debutante designer, her unveiling collection presents a fairly broad appeal to the masses of celebrity hopefuls.  The escalating recognition sprung within the drama-laden realms of reality television certainly has a way of illuminating a pitch-perfect pathway to success, though for some generations, this laid-back Southern California inspired clothing line may actually be a bit too loud for the general consumer.  Offering a diversity of chiffon, micro modal jersey, cotton, spandex, rayon, and Lycra… these flowing and sometimes gauzy fabrics, make a summertime statement with looks exemplifying the quintessential California girl in all of us.  Whether you choose to embellish your downtown style with club-ready stilettos or your favorite pair of beach flair flip-flops, The Lauren Conrad Collection is fun for bestie luncheons, sexy date nights, or even just hittin’ the beach.

Words to the wise… with high-end price variants ranging from sale items, such as the Leslie tank, $46.20 or Lo Dress, $90.97 and upward full-fledged pieces including,  Jilly Halter Top, $123.00, the ever-popular Whit ‘Butterfly’ Dress, $155.00 or Brooke Jumper, $180.00… it’s obvious not everyone will be able to afford this debut collection.  So, is this considered reasonable or a fashion faux pas to the general public?  You decide.  While many young women maintain an insatiable appetite for fashion, the unbreakable certainty is that the average consumer isn’t necessarily going to forfeit their allotted spending on a single item.  Ultimately, though of course depending on the circumstance of purchase… less is not always more.

But on the limelight horizon for LC, is a chic Fall Collection, and if you still crave more… bothWhitney Port (Eve & A) and Heidi Montag (Heidiwood for Anchor Blue) of The Hills have debut-clothing lines as well. 

More on that next time…
