The fashionista talks about moving on from The Hills, topping the New York Times best seller list, and launching her own clothing line! Lauren Conrad has a wardrobe any girl would love to get her paws on—including, apparently, her 2-year-old Labrador retriever mix, Chloe. "She ate two of my Chanel purses and chewed the heel off a pair of boots right out of the box," says Lauren between bites of shrimp salad at a Los Angeles restaurant. Determined to salvage the pricey pieces—which she uses to dress up basics like her favorite Elizabeth and James boyfriend blazer and BDG jeans from Urban Outfitters—she enlisted a "fashion doctor" to repair the damage. Much to her relief, "he was like a magician. He brought everything back to life!" 
New Books, New LooksThe former reality star is experiencing a new lease on life of her own. Since leaving The Hills in 2009, Lauren has embarked on not one but two lucrative new careers: author and clothing designer. Her first two books—installments of her L.A. Candy series, which chronicles one girl's drama-filled adventures on a glossy docu-soap (sound familiar?)—topped the New York Times best seller list. The latest, Sugar and Spice (which recently hit bookstore shelves), is expected to do the same.
