Lauren Conrad In…Lauren Conrad Collection
Sweet, flowy dresses so pretty and low-key mixed with high-waisted skirts and belted ensembles so pulled together, you can’t help but covet. Last month was Lauren Conrad’s Spring 2009 runway show, a part of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios. And what a delight!
A newcomer to the fashion scene, Lauren’s designs embody California cool with a sense of schoolgirl charm. The line is youthful and fresh, much like Lauren herself. And the best part is she loves to wear it too! She strutted down the runway at the close of the show in a black maxidress from the Collection, looking so effortlessly chic I can’t help but be jealous. I love, love, love the braided hair (I tried doing this before a wedding last month – complete disaster! Don’t you hate it when you can’t recreate a look you love? Sigh. Will get back on the horse and try again soon!)
Anytime I see a piece from the Lauren Conrad Collection, it’s amazingly cut for the average girl. You don’t have to look like a rail-thin model to pull off the cute camisoles or strapless dresses. I’m not a huge fan of the florals she inserted into this season, but only because I think she pulls off the classic, monochromatic hues so well. Nothing fancy or too overdone, and that’s what I like about it. It’s a real girl’s line of clothing that’s easy to wear any day of the week. It’s that simple!
