Kohls Department Stores Clean Up With Lauren Conrad!

The latest season of The Hills started up on Tuesday night without its original star Lauren Conrad. But she’s far from unemployed. Variety just announced that the executive producers of the Twilight series of movies has acquired the rights to her novel L.A. Candy. The book is about a 19-year-old who moves to Hollywood and becomes famous through the medium of reality television. It spent 14 weeks on the New York Times best seller list. Conrad herself contacted Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, producers of the Twilight films, with an idea for adapting her book. They bit.

Said Bowen to Variety, “We loved her take. Her book is an honest portrayal of what it must be like to set out to be normal, then sign on to become famous and eventually realize, wow, this isn’t at all what I’d planned for myself.” For this, Conrad will get executive producer credit for the movie.

Conrad has already signed a three-book deal with publishing giant Harper Collins and plans to write more about Jane Roberts, the main character in L.A. Candy. It is as yet unknown who will write the screenplay for the movie. Conrad also recently launched a line of L.A. style clothing for Kohl’s stores.

Lauren’s figure-flattering strategies

Put the focus on a flat tummy or small waist by choosing fitted jackets and belted dresses.

Conceal wider hips with a longer-length tee or tunic that skims your mid-section.

Opt for patterned or embellished tops to divert attention away from fuller hips and thighs.

Make legs look longer and leaner with simple, solid-hue trousers and dark-wash jeans.

Add width to your shoulders (and balance your bottom half) with soft flutter sleeves.

Lauren’s figure-flattering strategies

Flaunt long legs and shapely ankles with slim-fitting cigarette pants and capris.

Balance a thicker middle by highlighting arms with a halter top or strappy dress.

Consider an Empire-waist dress, which gives your torso a more elongated appearance.

Choose flowy, hip-skimming tops to camouflage a fuller tummy without adding bulk.

Draw attention to your lower body with eye-catching heels.

petite shape
Lauren’s figure-flattering strategies

Create a more feminine silhouette by teaming a voluminous top with a more fitted bottom half.

Cheat a waistline by cinching a belt in a contrasting color over a narrow sheath dress.

Keep accessories in proportion; delicate bags and necklaces won’t overwhelm a small frame.

Hem your pants on the longer side and pair them with sky-high platforms to add inches.

Amplify curves with tops that have texture, like a ruffled neckline or ruching at the waist.
