I, like many other girls my age, adore Lauren Conrad. On monday nights, the television is our own personal window to Los Angeles, New York and Paris. I have never missed an episode of The Hills, I’ve been to the Live Aftershow a few times and ‘reality’ drama dominates all of my tuesday conversations. However, our darling Lauren would like to divert our attention from her social life to her latest endeavors in design. Here comes some tough love.
The FIDM student was just spotted in Holt Renfrew showing her collection this last weekend, but some fashionista’s might not think that her designs are quite up to par. Lets keep it real, jersey is a cheap material. Who would pay more that $20 for a tank top or pair of leggings anyways? The newest Le Deux Collection is cute and wearable, but maybe not realistic in terms of price. I guess it’s all about branding! I think that if you’re going to pay for a name, you might as well pay for the quality of the fabric, and the design as well.
If you aren’t ready to drop $150+ dollars on a mini dress you swore you saw at Old Navy, Costa Blanca, H&M or Gap (get the idea?), save yourself the cash and get the LA look around the mall. No hard feelings Lauren, we just expect more from you. Spend less time socializing and more time designing!

Although I talk a big game, I do have my eye on a maxi dress. No worries. It’ll be it at Zara.
