LAUREN CONRAD

I've always been a big fan of Phillip Lim. He'll always be a favorite of mine.

In Hollywood, you grow up quick.

If you're on the cover of any magazine, you certainly get recognized more.

I think that like most girls in high school, I just mirrored what was around me.

Most of my friends all tend to work in restaurants part time, doing acting classes on the side.

I try really hard to separate myself from other celebrity brands.

I think that I get bored easily with things.

The one thing I've learned about friends is that the good ones are rare.

I get very uncomfortable with people watching me.

The first series I wrote, 'L.A. Candy,' was always meant to be a three-book series, so when I started out it was all outlined that way and by the time I was done with the third book, I had become so involved and the process and the stories, I was a little bit sad to be done.

During holiday parties I end up recycling a lot of my cocktail dresses and just wearing a layering piece, like a blazer and tights, with it.

There's not one person that I say I want to look like.

When I work with my art department on putting imagery together for my blog posts I always think, 'Would I pin this?' That really helps.

I think it's definitely important to look like yourself on a date. You don't want to look like someone else with too much makeup or too much hair.

I love going on book tours because it's an opportunity to connect with the people that matter most to my brand.

I think that when you have kids, it's all about them.

When you're growing up, you play dress-up - it's a game, it's a pastime. And then as you get older, getting ready and looking nice becomes this constant stress. I want to make it fun again.

I always wear bronzer because I love the way my skin looks when it's tan.

Fitness is a luxury when you are busy!

I like wearing scarves in my hair because they make me look put together without taking a lot of time.

Some people are willing to betray years of friendship just to get a little bit of the spotlight.

Imperfection is relatable.

Five years on TV is a really, really long time.

I think when you're put into a completely different situation and environment, you really see who you are. You're not affected by what's around you. You are who you are.

No one eats pretty.
