Blogging is a great way to show your talents and interests to prospective employers, while adding an edge to your resume. If you blog consistently it shows your dedication, passions and creativity - all of which are key attributes employers look for in job candidates.
— Lauren Conrad
If you're putting your name on something, it's really important to be a part of it, or else people will just do whatever they want with it. And then it's not really you, and it won't be true.
I'm not really a big reader.
I like to know exactly what's being put into my food.
I get very uncomfortable with people watching me.
People label you the way they know you best.
At the end of the day it's going to hurt your feelings if someone says something mean about you, but I've learned to take a step back and ask myself if it's really going to affect me, if this person who I'm never going to know or meet doesn't like me - and it doesn't.
The one thing I've learned about friends is that the good ones are rare.
I don't have the best dating track record.
As a designer, you are flattered to see anyone in one of your designs, whether it's on a red carpet or passing by you in the market. It's this wonderful little high every time.
People are just obsessed with other people's lives. I don't know whether it's kind of a way to escape their own, or something to follow... I really couldn't tell you.
I think clothes hang beautifully on thin women.
Scripts are corny and predictable. Real life is always better.
Five years on TV is a really, really long time.
I like to involve myself in charities that help children and also young women in need.
There is never just one thing that leads to success for anyone. I feel it always a combination of passion, dedication, hard work, and being in the right place at the right time.
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.
My website inspired me to create my book club and provides me with a creative outlet where I can write about things that interest me. It's a platform where I can present ideas or new ventures and get feedback straight from the people who mean the most to me.
I'm not a sexy person. I'm OK with it. I've never been the sexy girl. Whenever I've had a boyfriend, he's always been like, 'Oh, you're cute.'
I almost exclusively wear skinny jeans. I'm terrified of any other cut of denim.
I go through phases when I've been filming where I wake up in the middle of the night and I think I'm being filmed.
In Hollywood, you grow up quick.
Being a good observer is a great tool to have as a writer, just taking the world in.
I'm into mellow dates with really good food.
I make fun of guys when I like them. I act like I'm 10 years old. I do it as a test to see if they can laugh at themselves. If they get sensitive, then it's like, 'Um, this isn't going to work.'
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 wouldn't include a piece in my collection that I wouldn't wear personally.
It's very hard to lose someone who's the closest person to you in your life.
I think that I get bored easily with things.
I can't even read a script. I've tried and it's painful to watch.
I've always been open to doing reality again. Just under certain circumstances.
I think there is a niche for every market.
I really, really want to produce. That's the top of my to-do list.
Social media is key to promoting the editorial posts on my website.
You have your personal life and you have work life; when it's combined, it's difficult.
I've found when all I'm eating is really fresh, healthy foods, I stop craving pizza and burgers.
Any way to make a workout feel like playtime is great.
Being responsible for another human life terrifies me, because I kill plants.
At night I can write for hours.
I think that when you have kids, it's all about them.
I grew up at the beach and I was always involved in beach clean-ups and caring for my environment.
Dating is all about the chase. It's fun!
Fitness is a luxury when you are busy!
The only thing that ever really bothers me is that a lot of people think I'm that girl who hates your boyfriend. I'm really not that girl. Some of my friends' boyfriends are my best friends.
I'm meant for California.
None of my friends call me L.C. That was just a high school nickname, and nobody refers to me like that anymore.
You don't want a slob, but you don't want a guy who is constantly borrowing your tweezers.
Whenever someone comes up to me and says, 'I'm having trouble shopping.' I tell them to pull out their 10 favorite, most-worn pieces, then build a wardrobe around them. Those staples are going to be different for everybody.
Listen to advice from people who have been there and done that. It is so hard to believe that when you are young, but parents, mentors, teachers, they can all be so valuable when it comes to advice.
I love going on book tours because it's an opportunity to connect with the people that matter most to my brand.
