I’m not afraid to admit that I am a huge fan of Lauren Conrad. I was an avid watcher of Laguna Beach and The Hills, and have followed her career as she branched out into fashion design and writing. Her two non-fiction books, Lauren Conrad Style and Lauren Conrad Beauty, are firm favourites of mine and a great addition to any girl’s book collection. She also runs an awesome website called The Beauty Department with her glam squad, hair stylist Kristen Ess and make-up artist Amy Nadine, and a lifestyle blog at LaurenConrad.com. I love her modern classic style and that she knows what works for her… Even though she didn’t always have it all figured out! Here are some pics of her journey to style superstardom:
2002: Just like me in high school, Lauren was a slave to her naturally mousey brown hair.2004: After being cast in MTV’s Laguna Beach, Lauren added some blonde highlights and started wearing her hair in beachy waves2005: “That was my Orange County hair,” Conrad said of her highlights during the second season of Laguna Beach. “My hair was just so over-processed and awful.”2007: The oh-so-ageing “Soccer Mom” bob she publicly regrets. Her signature cat-eye flick is starting to make an appearance though.2009: Proof that a fringe (which she cut herself) isn’t for everyone.2012: That skin! That eyeliner! The natural lip! This is the woman LC was born to be.2012: She still knows how to have a little fun though. Here she’s working a bouncy dip-dyed ponytail and the ever-present black cat-eye.
2012: Soft waves, ombre hair and a bright red lip. Veronica Lake, eat your heart out!
