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.
