Dress by Lauren ConradAs you’ve already guessed I am quite the celebrity watcher. I have recently accepted this vice and even come to embrace it. And now I even have viable excuse… all these celebrity antics serve as great blog fodder :)

My latest celeb obsession has to be Miss Lauren Conrad (the reality TV star formerly known as L.C.). The Hills diva got her start as a babe-ette on MTV’s Laguna Beach. She was so popular that she was given her own show, which follows her as she moves to L.A. to start a career in the fashion biz.

So Lauren Conrad’s designing dresses?

Since the inception of the reality-TV hit, Miss Conrad has moved up from humble Teen Vogue intern to full-fledge fashion designer. She showed last year at L.A. fashion week and her duds were available at Kitson (although rumours has it the boutique dropped the line). Her latest design-related endeavour will be to dress all the Emmy girls (the uber-glamorous models who hand out the trophies).

Have a look at some of the designs from her latest collection. If you dig the dresses, the sad news is that they aren’t available in Canada just yet (although her PR folks assure me that they are on the case). You can shop online though at www.shoplaurenconrad.com and if you happen to be in the States, check out the big departments stores like Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and Barney’s.

What can do here in Canada is catch Lauren in The Hills on MTV Canada (where season four has just begun) or CTV. Watch at your own peril: It can be very addictive!
