New Blog Post: The Ladylike Laws: Manners Matter
Date: Oct 24, 11 • Categories: News • 1 Reply
Lauren posted a new post on her official site LaurenConrad.com today! Check out an excerpt below:
I have always found matters concerning etiquette fascinating. Different customs, traditions and pillars of decorum vary widely across cultures and I love learning about them. (I guess you could say I’m a closet enthusiast of cultural anthropology. And maybe I’m feeling inspired after having read The Help.) Needless to say, in our need-it-now, “Sorry I’m Facebooking!” I’ll-tweet-you-later world, manners have been left by the wayside. So why should we care? Etiquette makes social situations easier to navigate. Furthermore, having good manners is key to showing and gaining respect. By knowing what’s uncouth, you will be more confident in yourself and likely more adored by others! And who doesn’t want to be liked?
In a nutshell, etiquette is a set of social rules adopted by a society or culture over time (Thanks, Emily Post!). Most rules are simply known, while others are documented. Ladylike LawsRemember all those books we read before starting school? “It is not okay to poke your friends in the eye or kick them in the shins as a means of hello.” Most likely, we wouldn’t know this unless we were taught otherwise. The bottom line here is etiquette sets the norm for how people treat each other (and want to be treated). It’s the unwritten “How to Interact with Other People Guide for Dummies.”
Lauren Conrad & Derek Hough Kiss on the Dance Floor
Date: Oct 20, 11 • Categories: News, Rumors • Reply
Lauren Conrad and Derek Hough added fuel to the fire of dating rumors by partying together – very closely – in the back room at L.A.’s Trousdale Lounge. Though they were with friends – she had Lo Bosworth with her, and he was hanging out with Mark Ballas – they mostly spent time with each other. They even hit the dance floor, where Hough had his arm around Conrad’s waist. “It was obvious there was a lot of chemistry between the two,” an onlooker says. “She was very smitten.” So smitten, in fact, that they shared some smooches. Says the onlooker: “Neither seemed embarrassed about kissing in public.”
New Blog Entry: DIY Halloween: The Carrie Bradshaw Costume
Date: Oct 13, 11 • Categories: News • Reply
The first winner of my DIY Halloween Costume Guest Blogger Series is… Laura Pifer! Congrats Laura! I loved your Carrie Bradshaw costume tutorial. It’s spot-on and oh-so-chic. Thank you to everyone that entered the contest. I had a blast reviewing all of your entries. They were all fabulous and picking three was not an easy task. Needless to say, I think all of you will be pleased with the three winners I have selected…
Without further ado, here is Laura’s Carrie Bradshaw costume tutorial on how to make Carrie’s iconic Sex & the City tutu skirt. Enjoy!
XO Lauren
“People had reservations about the tutu in the opening sequence,” Sarah Jessica Parker told EW in 2003. But she and costume designer Patricia Field “stuck to [their] guns.” And so it was that even before her first scene, Carrie Bradshaw and her $5 vintage tulle skirt became an instant fashion classic. Fittingly, the tutu, from Parker’s personal collection, makes a cameo in the movie.”

Lauren Conrad More Halloween Costume Clues
Date: Oct 13, 11 • Categories: News • Reply
Aside from Lauren Conrad showing every one of her Twitter followers how to paint their fingernails to resemble candy corn, the former The Hills star turned fashion designer gave yet another clue about her Halloween costume.
Or in Lauren Conrad’s case two Halloween costumes. Lauren posted the following, asking her Twitter following to guess what she was doing:
Can you guess what I’m being for Halloween?
Of course this tweet led to Conrad’s blog, where she posted a photo of red fabric with white polka dots. The photo’s caption read:
This year I am making two Halloween costumes… This is the fabric for one of them. Can you guess what I am going to be? XO Lauren
Interestingly enough, several fans chimed in with the iconic Minnie Mouse. Actually, Lauren would probably make on sexy Minnie. A few hours later, Conrad also posted a how-to link to help her fans paint their fingernails to resemble a candy corn:
Trick or Treat? Candy corn manicure anyone?
Talk about someone who is really getting into the Halloween spirit, 20 days early! Congratulations to Lauren Conrad though for designing and making her own two costumes instead of “outsourcing” them to someone else.
Lauren Conrad Hangs With Derek Hough but Says She’s “Single”
Date: Oct 11, 11 • Categories: News, Rumors • Reply
We’re on to you, Lauren Conrad.
While she told E! News yesterday afternoon she was single, guess who she turned up with a few hours later at a hotel in Hollywood? Her rumored paramour Derek Hough…
“[I'm] single, having fun” Conrad said at yesterday’s Veuve Clicquot polo match at Will Rogers State Park in Pacific Palisades.
She continued having fun later that day at the third annual Haunted Hayride kickoff event in Griffith Park with pal Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
But then it was time for some Dancing With the Stars hotness.
The maybe-couple was spotted outside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel chatting with friends, including Hough’s DWTS pal Mark Ballas, according to X17. Although there was no major PDA, Conrad and Hough left together hand in hand, hopping into a white Mercedes and taking off with Hough behind the wheel.
A source close to the couple says, “They are cute together.”
Hough, 26, avoided talking about his love life last week when E! News asked him about Ms. Conrad.
Dancing With the Stars’ Derek Hough Dances Away From Lauren Conrad Rumors
Date: Oct 04, 11 • Categories: News, Rumors • Reply
Derek Hough is a sly one.
After Monday night’s Dancing With the Stars, he hit the aftershow carpet for the usual interviews with partner Ricki Lake. And since he’s recently been attached to the adorable Lauren Conrad, we decided to innocently ask him about a possible romance. His reaction?
A little sidestep spin move around the question! Seriously, we’ve seen countless celebrities dodge dating questions, but even we have to admit this one was pretty good. In fact, he even went so far as to mention how he was photographed with another lady to throw us off. Unfortunately for him, the giddy smile Ricki gives her partner after we mentioned L.C.’s name was more than enough proof that something is probably going down between Hough and the former Hills star.
And hey, if Conrad ever makes it to a taping of the show to support her rumored new beau, maybe she and old nemesis Kristin Cavallari can talk things out and finally bury the hatchet.
Yeah, right.
Watch the interview below and see how Hough dances himself out of answering our questions. Props to you, sir. We’ll get you next time.
New Couple Alert: Derek Hough and Lauren Conrad!

I’m not sure if this is just a rumor or not. Once we get official word, I’ll post and let you all know.
Talk about making beautiful babies together—that is if things get serious between Derek Hough and Lauren Conrad.
Yup, I just got word that…
There’s a romance brewing between the Dancing With the Stars hoofer and former queen of the Hills. “They’ve been on a few dates together,” a source says.
Just last night, the two raised eyebrows when they hit Jason Scoppa’s weekly live music show at the Sayers Club in Hollywood.
“They were pretty cozy. Definitely playful and flirty,” reports a fellow clubgoer.
How so?
“They were close to each other,” the source explained. “He had his arm around her waist. They were dancing and also holding hands.”
When they left, the paparazzi snapped away, but the two didn’t stand too close together. A big burly security guy also stood in front of them to try to block the shots.
Conrad most recently ended a long relationship with actor Kyle Howard in June, while Hough was linked to former X Factor judge Cheryl Cole.
Reps for Hough and Conrad didn’t comment.
Now we want to hear from you. Do you think Derek Hough and Lauren Conrad make a good couple? Chime in below.

Lauren Conrad and Kyle Howard Call It Quits!
Date: Jun 25, 11 • Categories: News • 1 Reply
It’s official: they’re dunzo.
After three solid, drama-less years of coupling up, E! News has exclusively learned that former reality starlet Lauren Conrad has amicably parted ways with actor Kyle Howard.
Sources close to the now ex-duo confirm that the breakup was a mutual decision and that no third parties were involved.
The 24-year-old fashionista and budding beauty mogul (who, incidentally, just earlier this year was denying rumors that the couple had secretly gotten engaged) had been dating the 33-year-old My Boys actor since 2008.
Don’t worry, Lauren. There’s plenty of other fish in the
seahills.
