The Lauren Conrad Collection Arrives

Lauren Conrad has debuted the first portion of her fashion line at shoplaurenconrad.com. We were surprised by the simplicity of her pieces.....and their steep price tags. Most of them are over $100. We were expecting more variations of designs and better-quality fabric. Basically, there are eight styles and they all pretty much come in the same four colors (black, ivory, navy and burgundy). We hope the extended line she introduces in the new year will have a little more uniqueness.

Sorry to do it Lauren, but we've tracked down doppelgangers for a few of your styles.....at much lower price points.
