What began as a reality television gig on “Laguna Beach” has turned into a full-fledged multifaceted career, and Lauren Conrad is counting her lucky stars.The “Hills” babe left her MTV roots to pursue writing bestselling books and designing clothes and it has definitely panned out for her.Of her first novel “LA Candy,” Conrad explained, "I didn't take anything specifically that happened to me. The only thing that I did was ... it was a way to show not necessarily me, but just the other side of being on a show like ours. For everyone that's done it, I think you see one side and you don't see the other. It's kind of an interesting story to tell."As for her LC Lauren Conrad clothing brand with Kohl’s, "It's very much a California brand. It's all about incorporating new trends and putting our own twist on it — relaxed cool without trying too hard.”
