Lauren Conrad: Far From Laguna Beach

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winona chapter.

Lauren Conrad, or better yet, LC in her MTV days, has come a long way from choosing Jason over a summer internship in Paris. But everyone makes mistakes, right? LC taught us a handful of lessons in her 20’s, but if there’s one thing to take from this girl, it’s to follow your dreams and pursue your passions. Since Laguna Beach and The Hills finished airing, Lauren Conrad has flourished into a published author and became a successful fashion designer. She created her couture fashion line, Paper Crown, commonly found at Anthropology and her popular Kohl’s line, LC by Lauren Conrad. And for those of you who don’t know, she also recently embarked on a journey and started The Little Market with her friend, Hannah Skvarla. The Little Market mission is to create a sustainable partnership with artisans across the world, by connecting them with customers through an online marketplace. Ultimately, they seek to empower women artisans, while reducing poverty and allowing them to support their families. Bravo Lauren Conrad, you’re killin’ it. Let’s take a peek at her newest collections on Instagram!
