Though she was a few days too late for Fashion Week [1], Lauren Conrad showed off her award-winning style skills [2] yesterday in NYC as she made the rounds to promote both the Spring collection of her fashion line [3] and the upcoming episodes of The Hills [4]. Perhaps a new story twist will include how LC's Spring line will be doing in comparison to Heidi's newly announced collection [5]. All her hard work has certainly paid off with the $2.36 million Hollywood mansion she recently purchased, and Casa [6] has more details and pictures of her new bachelorette pad [7]. Even though Lauren looks cozy in her big plaid coat, we're sure she's ready to trade all those layers for the California sunshine.
