Lauren Conrad looked gorgeous showing off a few sassy Summer outfits for a photoshoot with LA Direct Magazine. The California girl is just as sunny in her interview as she is in the photos, talking about her great year and how far she's come since her days on Laguna Beach. Here are highlights:
- “I always say this isn’t what I signed up for. I thought I signed up for a one-episode documentary."
- “I feel like [the show] makes me look like I sit around all day and feel sorry for myself, but I’m actually a very happy person. Sometimes I want to reach into the TV and smack myself, and say ‘get over it.’”
- “It’s been a crazy four years, but they’ve been amazing. I got to travel all around the world. I’ve met so many cool people. I’ve had all these opportunities. I’m really lucky. You got to take the good with the bad.”
Lauren has come a long way since those Laguna Beach days, but it's refreshing to hear her sound so grounded and humble. Plus, we love to hear that she's more upbeat than it sometimes seems on her show.

oh shut the eff up, lauren
1I heard her clothes look cheap but are very expensive.
I still don't understand why Pop is featuring her, she's a nobody!
2I guess I'm a little older than her average fan, but I never watched Laguna Beach or the Hills. I have no idea what this girl is about. But every time I look at her, all I see is Marcia Brady. Please - someone explain. Does she go to college? Does she have a job? Is she trying to be an actress? I don't understand what she does or why she's relevant to anything. And is popsugar being paid by some publicist for the HIlls to post about her, Heidi, etc? Because it seems like every other post is about a Hills person. One of these days I'm going to watch a Hills marathon and figure out what is so friggin magical about this bunch.
3well i'm not sure if she was just dillusional when she started with the show- but oh well. and besides, she keeps signing on to do more and more, and she has the power to change how she acts so it's not like she really has anyone to blame but herself. i think that we all see that she's grown though, and that's the most important thing.
4well i love lauren, and think she looks gorgeous here! plus, i'd rather read about her then paris or lindsay or HEIDI any day!
mali01--she was on a show Laguna beach where the kids actually did nothing special--they were just in high school. then she went to college for a semester, came home and was still on laguna, and then moved to LA. that's when MTV started her own show, the hills. shes currently in fashion school there, but started her own line already, she used to work at teen vogue but now works at people's revolution as a stylist i think. i would much rather read about her then a lot of others because she actually works and goes to school...so it seems like shes doing something with her life!
5she is looking more and more beautiful everyday.
6She looks good. But i do not understand how can she be angry about how is she represented on The hills - it's her show! She should do something about it or be quiet.
7She looks radiant in the yellow, just more beautiful everyday. She also seems grounded and humble in the interview. She really has no power on the show. The producers produce and direct the scenes that they want and then edit for drama.
8Stunning as ever! The clothes look good! Love Lauren
9waste of space. and every time i see her sort wearing chanel quilted handbags i weep for the bastardising of a great name
10I don't care for her
11she looks great! I don't understand why you all hate on the girl! Shes is a natural beauty and seems to be very nice and honest.
12why POP??? WHY?
13i like the black and white oufit.
14I can't hate on a girl that is literally living her dreams and doing it with class. Go Lauren!
15I love LC! I love that this show is helping her take second looks at herself. Not everyone gets that luxury and she seems very aware of her behavior and how it comes across. She's my fave reality star. Which is odd because I was always Team Kristen back in the LB days.
16Jesus...has it been FOUR years? Someone forgot to set the timer for 15 minutes.
17THANK YOU POP FOR POSTING LC ALMOST EVERYDAY! Its like im watching the hills
18LC is not going anywhere anytime soon.
19LC is not going anywhere anytime soon.
20I actually like Lauren but she needs to stop recycling the same guys over and over again...
21Agree with californiagirlx7. Hopefully we will see her new beau when the show returns in August(?).
22Lauren is so sexy
23Can't stand her. Plus ive heard all the "success" of the show has gone to her head. I wish she would go away.
24i don't hate her or like her.she's just another case of what luck can do!
25I don't understand how she can say the show makes her look bad yet continues to do it. She's totally self-aware of the fact that she looks like a melodramatic fake and she'd rather make bank than change.
26I love her hair and i like that her makeup looks light I like her she really cares about her friends but sometimes i feel she needs to let her friends make their own choices well that's my opinion
27she looks so cute, i love lc!!!
28I'm not a huge fan of L.C. but i like her style... in particular, these three outfits are just so gorgeous!
29She's a douche. Nice extensions.
She should go back to college, get a degree, and get a day job before someone else cuter comes along and MTV rides that meal ticket into the ground
30i think she's quit smart unlike many other reality stars. she uses her exposure to get great jobs, push her brand, etc. i like her.
31The show does make her look like that. But, I still think she's cool. And I can't stop watching.
32Blah, she's so average and her clothes are made of cheap modal and she charges a fortune! Plus, I think she is the prudest girl on t.v. Realize that class doesn't mean you have to be boring or snub every guy that throws a bone your way. Plus, I mean she's been with some real "winners" too....hello JaWahl?!?! LOL!
