If you're like me and don't miss an episode of 'The Hills' then you know how fashion-forward the girls are.

While Heidi tends to be too overdone for my taste (think Barbie's worst nightmare), and Stephanie's sweatband-esqe headbands are painful to look at, I think the other girls – especially Lauren Conrad (LC) – are totally on the mark. LC tends to embrace the trends without becoming a slave to fashion. Past seasons have shown her in leggings and tunics along with sundresses, braids and sporting short black nails. She takes on fashion in a way that is daring, but always tasteful.

That being said, I was quickly deflated to see that her first fashion line, Lauren Conrad Collection line was so expensive. By 'so expensive' I mean simple cotton tank dresses for $200+ ... yes the kind of purchases most of us would regret making. Bloomingdales and Kitson apparently had trouble moving her pieces, maybe because of the price, and that line is no longer.

The good news is Kohl’s Department Stores is launching LC Lauren Conrad, a contemporary lifestyle brand for women, in approximately 300 Kohl’s stores and Kohls.com this fall. Judging by Kohl’s prices, I think we’ll see some great fashion at prices that are much more reasonable. Check out LC herself on this YouTube clip showing some of her new pieces.
