The Latest in Celebrity Fashion, Beauty and Fitness

Lauren Conrad is releasing a style book this Fall, aptly titled Lauren Conrad Style. In it, the former Hills star and fashion maven reveals some of her best tried and true fashion tips. Lauren shared her five favorite style tips with People magazine:

1. Pick a signature piece, LC says to focus your outfit around one piece, such as a classic feminine dress. You can change up the look with different accessories.

2. Make you bag super-stylish, Lauren’s brand of choice: Chanel of course.

3. Only wear what you look good in. Don’t follow ever single trend out there, stick to what looks right on YOU.

4. Say it with Shoes. LC says the wrong shoes can ruin a perfectly good outfit, she says’s nude platform pumps are her go to shoe.

5. Add some color. Don’t get lost in wearing all neutral shades, add a pop of color like a peep purple top or bright pink scarf.

Below is a preview of the book cover, I love how she replicates Audrey Hepburn.

The book hits shelves October 5th, will you pick it up?

Lauren Conrad gave Us magazine a sneek peek inside her handbag and shared with us all the beauty and makeup products she has to have with her on a daily basis.

The Bag – Lauren says she loves Rebecca Minkoff’s bags and often keeps her Chanel clutch stashed inside her oversized bag.

Moisturize – LC likes to smooth on Aquaphor ointment when traveling to beat dry, dead skin.

Breath Mints – Lauren always has a mini tooth brush on her because she says chewing gum in a meeting isn’t professional.

Snack – Almonds and mini-carrots are LC’s go to snack so she  never gets hunger pangs.

Hair – Lauren is always admired for her long, beautiful hair – she always carries a boar-bristled Maison Pearson brush to tame her tresses.

Lauren Conrad is known as the quintessential California girl – and of course she has to maintain her tan, the healthy way. Lauren says she’s tried a slew of self tanners and her favorite is Dior because it’s not too orangey. To make sure she likes a self tanner she first tests a small patch of skin that’s not too visible (stomach or inside of thigh).

In addition to staying out of the sun, Lauren likes to indulge herself in an Oxygen Facial before she plans to travel to moisturize her skin.

When it comes to body hair, Lauren says she HATES body hair and is working on having it all removed with laser hair removal.

Although Lauren spends a fortune on hair removal and hair styling, color, etc – she doesn’t shell out any money for manicures. She loves to do her own nails and is very into nude nail polish lately since she feels she’s outgrown wild hues like blue and green.

The original Hill’s girl and now Avon Mark spokeswoman Lauren Conrad posed for the cover of Glamour magazine where she revealed her absolute favorite lip gloss is Mark Glow Baby Glow Hook Up Lip Glow in M.powerment Gold.  Sounds perfect for a California girl!

Here’s some other tidbits from her interview:

On if she wears hair extensions:
Well, I consider it mine because I own it. But these are all extensions. I chopped off my hair to my shoulders. I thought I was doing a long chic bob. It was so bad.

On what she uses on her hair everyday:
I use a different shampoo everyday. I don’t use products – not even hairspray.

On pressures to be thin:
I workout and eat healthy, so mostly it’s about being in shape and having energy. But about a year ago, I looked down and thought, I have cellulite. Where did that come from?

The Hills Kristin Cavallari

The Hills star Kristin Cavallari keeps her skinny shape by making homemade pizzas with pita bread, tomato sauce and low fat cheese. I bet she saves on a lot of calories, an average slice of regular pizza packs in about 500 calories! I would guess Kristin’s recipe is about half that.

Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad is always spotted working out in LA, but she still loves to indulge. Her favorite treat are No-Pudge Brownies from Trader Joe’s. No-Pudge Brownies are fat free and come in a variety of yummy flavors like Chocolate mint, Cappuccino and Raspberry.

Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes knows that not all healthy snack can taste great- but she’s in love with Uncle Eddie’s vegan chocolate chip cookies. One cookie is about 60 calories and contain no dairy or unrefined sugar.

Now that she’s off The Hills Lauren Conrad is focusing on her passion for fashion. She revealed her four top style tips to People Magazine…

#1 Wear Neutral Colors

I really like color, but I tend to gravitate towards neutrals. For my new line (now at Kohls) we wanted to do really good basics that have a more relaxed fit.

#2 Wear Something Belted On A ‘Fat’ Day

I’ll wear something oversize but belted, because you have room in there but you have a waist. If I put on a big balloon outfit I’ll just go and eat more and that won’t make me feel any better.

#3 Make Jeans and Heels Your Go-To Date Outfit

I don’t go on fancy dates. My dates are the casual sushi and a movie, so it’s normally jeans. It’s nice to have that feminine look but not like you’re trying too hard.

#4 Lauren’s Signature Fashion Trick Is To Shorten Her Minis

I have short legs, so I have the tailor take them up another inch.

Lauren also spills that she would never consider getting breast implants like The Hills costar Audrina Patridge saying, “That’s what Wonderbras are for!”

Lauren Conrad likes to indulge at the Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa in Dallas, TX. She takes time out with a 45 minute Focused Warm-Oil massage with scalp treatment, a body and head rubdown – sounds soooooo relaxing!

The treatment costs $125 regularly, during Spa Week (Sept. 14-20) you pay only $50!

When she’s in LA Anne Hathaway gets her mani/pedi at the Recess Nail Spa. Her favorite treatment is The Musk Try, a mani/pedi treatment that includes a lavender paraffin wrap and indian spice moisturizer massage.

Usually costs $95 a treatment, only $50 during Spa Week.

Victoria Beckham keeps her acne-prone skin in good condition at the New York Shizuka spa where she enjoys the Geisha Facial, which brightens and softens the skin with Nightengale droppings (bird poop)!

The facial usually costs $180 but is only $50 during spa week.

The Hill’s Lauren Conrad is on the cover of the September issue of Shape Magazine in on orange bikini and she’s in perfect shape. Lauren jokes that she packed on some pounds when her relationship with actor Kyle Howard became serious, “I call it the ‘boyfriend layer’. We’re having more romantic dinners out, and I was exercising less.”

In order to get back into shape Lauren decided to integrate working out into her relationship by going kayaking, hiking, surfing, biking and playing tennis.

For her diet LC doesn’t obsess over calories, instead she eats really fresh and healthy foods, she says, “I stop craving pizza and burgers.”

Lauren Conrad’s trainer Jarett Del Bene is sharing some of the fitness tips he uses with Lauren on his Twitter page. The trainer says his secret to getting great legs is to  “do lots of step-ups, squats and lunges.”

For a flat stomach and great abs Jarett advises, “Eat 6 small meals a day … try to eat every 3 hours.”

Lauren is looking amazing… working out with her trainer is paying off!

Lauren Conrad has been sporting a studded leather belt lately, I love how she’s been pairing it with really soft pieces – like the ruffled silk blouse above. You can get the exact same belt LC is wearing – its made by Streets Ahead and sells for $250. If you’re on a budget you can get a similar looking studded leather belt by Dakine for on $20 bucks from Amazon.

UPDATE:
